Information
At the Ordinary Meeting on 4 June 2019, Council authorised community consultation and public advertising of the City of Wanneroo’s draft Transport Strategy 2019/20.
The draft Strategy has been developed to meet the community’s aspirations for a sustainable transport future outlined through the City’s 2017/18 to 2026/27 Strategic Community Plan. It is a long-term, high-level document that outlines eight broad principles to achieve the goal of ‘Creating a balanced and sustainable transport future’.
The eight guiding principles are as follows:
- Place-based land use and transport planning - aligning land use, development and transport in communities;
- Pedestrian-first environments - establishing urban environments that prioritise pedestrians;
- Prioritised cycle network - establishing a cycle network that is fast, direct and as safe as possible;
- Convenient public transport - improving the convenience of public transport to make it a competitive option;
- Effective freight network - alleviating road capacity to prioritise the efficient movement of freight;
- Well-connected employment precincts - developing precincts that are connected by a range of transport options;
- Travel behaviour change - encouraging a change of mindset about using a range of transport options; and
- Embracing technological change - embracing new technologies to provide innovate alternatives to private cars.
Once the draft Strategy is finalised, its eight principles will be progressed in the future through a more detailed Transport Plan. This Plan will outline key actions and measures to implement the Strategy.
