City of Sydney

The Infrastructure Provision score rests on open data alone. What our riders experience — ridership, safety and time lost at intersections — is measured separately, so the benchmark can never be flattered by who happens to use our app.

How confident is each part?

Drawn from OpenStreetMap and WorldPop via our ROI model, then put through an automated screen. Each shortlisted corridor closes a real gap in today's network and leads with its modelled annual benefit potential — indicative health benefit and running-cost savings; new-cyclist and CO₂ figures span a conservative to an ambitious uptake scenario. Passing the screen is not a recommendation to build.

1,470 candidate network discontinuities detected before screening · 203 consolidated corridor candidates created from them · 12 consolidated candidates cleared the automated screening gate city-wide · 20 are carried into this report, 7 of them passing

Estimates from OpenStreetMap & WorldPop via the Party Onbici ROI model — indicative figures for prioritisation, not a substitute for detailed design. Resident catchments are estimated from the population and network analysis; uptake, health, cost and carbon results are scenario estimates.

Figures are in AUD (2026 prices). Cross-city monetary comparisons are indicative only — each city is valued with its own jurisdiction-specific parameters, not converted to a common currency.

   ✓ Automated screening: passed 5 of 5 checks.

   Structural network-gain proxy: the distinct existing ways the build would join, the destinations ALREADY MAPPED inside its catchment (not destinations this build would newly connect), and a minimum build length. Routed before/after connectivity gain: not assessed. No routed connectivity model exists in this pipeline, so connectivity before, connectivity after and the residents who would newly gain access are reported as unavailable rather than estimated from the catchment.

   This area ranks highly because approximately 36 school features, 7 transport features, 61 workplace features, 100 shop & service features, 113 other mapped features are already mapped within a 2 km cycling catchment of it, and it addresses a 278 m gap in the existing network. Estimated mapped destinations in the 2 km catchment: this corridor's category breakdown is reconciled across overlapping catchments, so the figures are approximate counts of mapped features rather than exact ones.

Comparable on-street lane network: 34 km of separated + painted lanes — the like-for-like figure to set beside your city's own lane count. The full 123 km above additionally counts shared and off-road paths, so it reads higher.

Corridor kilometres. Network length is measured in CORRIDOR kilometres: each physical corridor counts once. A street with a cycle track on each side is two usable facilities but one corridor, and OpenStreetMap records that either as one carriageway or as two parallel ways — counting rows would make the figure depend on local mapping habit. Ways running parallel within 4–25 m of each other are treated as one corridor. That removed 13.8% of this city's as-mapped length.
