What’s On

Walk Week is a free annual event that encourages West Australians of all ages to become more physically active by walking for health, transport, recreation and the environment.

This year we are pleased to announce the 10th anniversary of Walk Week and would like to invite your organisation to participate. Workplaces, local governments and the community are invited to host a walking event by holding a lunchtime walk, trying a local trail or even starting a walking group.

Register to hold a community or workplace walking event between 1 – 7 November 2010 online at www.transport.wa.gov.au/walking by 17 September 2010 to receive free merchandise and an event kit.
