Willoughby Council has an ongoing policy to provide a concrete footpath on at least one side of every street. There is an annual budget allocated that allows a limited number of new footpaths per annum.

In high pedestrian traffic areas Council tries to provide footpaths on both sides of the street.

In the past, in some locations, there have been objections to the implementation of new footpaths (sometimes people want to keep a ‘green’ feel to the street. When this occurs Council will usually move on to another street where footpaths are welcome.
