The existing Transport Master Plan for the district was adopted in 2009 just prior to the State Government rezoning approximately 1,310 hectares of land that was previously rural zone.

Many actions from the 2009 plan have been completed and support future growth, but an update is now needed and staff have commenced the development of an Integrated Transport Plan (ITP).

The objective of the ITP is to ensure transport infrastructure aligns with growth in the district, enhances the connectivity of our community, encourages active transport, supports the safe and efficient movement of traffic both within the district and between regions, promotes the use of public transport and provides for future technologies in a sustainable way.

Engaging the community and stakeholders in developing the ITP ensures the framework and direction align with transport investment, policy decisions and with the aspirations the community hold for the district of the future.


A draft Lead Strategy has been developed and includes the Introduction, Purpose, Themes, Drivers for changes and sets the tone of the ITP.

Six core themes have been developed to underpin Council’s vision for Transport. These themes will be developed to form the basis of future specific action plans. These themes are:

  • Road Network Management
  • Active Transport
  • Road Safety
  • Parking
  • Public Transport
  • Technology and Innovation
Each theme will be progressed concurrently and will guide the prioritisation of Council’s investment in future transport infrastructure and initiatives, some of which will be led by Council and others that Council will play an advocacy role.
