MOBILITY MAP

Development of the Mobility Map is the result of work undertaken by RuralAccess at the 'Wheelies Forum' held in 2004. This forum, as part of the development of the Ballarat Access Book, was organise by RuralAccess to identify preferred routes of travel across footpaths in Ballarat for people in scooters or wheelchairs. This in turn was merged with an existing map that prioritised funding for footpath repairs. The result was Mobility Map, highlighting the safest and best maintained footpaths available in Ballarat.
