| Priority 2 - Pedestrian and Cycle Connectivity |
- In March 2020 the City completed re-construction of a principle shared pathway (PSP) along Reid Highway from Malaga Drive to Altone Road, providing greater connections and convenience to cyclists and pedestrians. The path provides a safer environment for cyclist and pedestrians with lighting, wayfinding signs, pavement markings and landscaping.

| Priority 3 - Reduce Illegal Dumping and Minimising its Impacts |
- The Malaga Recycling Centre is opened every Thursday-Sunday and free to all City of Swan residents.

The facility is increasing recycling capacity of the City and the community.
