City of Whittlesea residents are invited to provide feedback on the draft of a new Integrated transport plan that will support the community to have greater choice and ease in how they move around the district.
The draft Integrated transport plan was endorsed for community consultation at council’s April meeting.
It will be the guiding document to help shape transport planning for the next 10 years, with the plan including walking and cycling, public transport, road transport, road safety and freight movements.
Last year residents had their say on a background and directions paper – a document that provided a snapshot of current transport conditions and helped shape the direction of the draft Integrated transport plan.
The feedback provided council with valuable insights into the key challenges and opportunities facing those who live, work and play in the City of Whittlesea.
Key themes highlighted through the consultation included the availability and connectivity of public transport, traffic congestion and improving walking and cycling infrastructure.
City of Whittlesea chair administrator Lydia Wilson said the draft plan aimed to address community need.
“The draft Integrated Transport Plan gets to the heart of the daily lives of those who live, work and play in the City of Whittlesea – how we get around,” Ms Wilson said.
Consultation is open until Sunday May 19.
