Integrated Transport Strategy 2024-2029

Thank-you to those who provided feedback on transport in Nillumbik.

The Integrated Transport Strategy 2024-2029 will guide transport planning and our sustainability and advocacy priorities over the next five years.

Transport is central to our daily lives; connecting us to work, education, healthcare, shopping, leisure and social activities.

In Nillumbik, with its unique topography, abundance of space, townships and villages, we’re presented with complex transport needs, and our future transport choices can directly impact the liveability of our Shire and contribute to our efforts in addressing climate change.

The Integrated Transport Strategy will provide a strategic framework that will guide Council to promote more sustainable transport outcomes, reflecting Council’s declaration of a ‘Climate Emergency’ and our Climate Action Plan 2022-2032.

The Shire’s local road and footpath network and a significant portion of its cycling network, such as the Diamond Creek Trail are overseen by Council. The Department of Transport and Planning, oversees planning and management of the arterial road network, strategic cycling corridors and public transport.

Council consulted on the 'Issues and Options' paper from 15 April - 27 May 2024 and outcomes of this consultation were used to help to inform Nillumbik's Integrated Transport Strategy.
