This would include:

- A feasibility study to widen the paths around Lake Ginninderra – $300,000
- A route-planning study to improve cycling connectivity in the Gungahlin Town Centre –$300,000
- A feasibility study to construct an off-road cycle path along Adelaide Avenue – part of light rail to Woden
