Maitland Recreation and Open Space Strategy
The Maitland Recreation and Open Space Strategy (MROSSR, 2004) seeks to provide a clear vision and direction regarding the purpose, level of provision, development priorities and management of recreational open space areas in the Maitland local government area (LGA).
The recommendations in this report provide strategic direction regarding priority actions to achieve the vision over the next 5-10 years. The recommendations are based on a combination of community consultation, a survey distributed to all households and the Maitland LGA, review of national data and experience.

Maitland Bike Plan
This Bike Plan supersedes the 1996 Bicycle Plan and through its Mission Statement aims to: “Create a network of safe and practical cycleways that encourages the community and its visitors to cycle rather than drive” Cycleway planning in Maitland LGA commenced in 1982 and since then approximately 60 km of cycleways have been constructed at a cost of $1M.
However, the resultant cycleway network is fragmented and inconsistent. Consequently, this Bike Plan rationalises the network into trunk or collector bicycle routes that connect residents to their desired destinations. These routes have a total length of 165 km and are estimated to cost $6.7M.
Additionally, several scenic routes provide a recreational and tourist function for residents and visitors alike.
