Theme 7: Transport

Key Objective 1

Enhance the accessibility and vibrancy of local townships, neighbourhoods and activity centres through connectivity with a focus on improving active and public transport options.

Key Objective 2

Further development of pedestrian and cycle trails to link the key activity centres is a priority to encourage safe pedestrian access for residents.

Key Objective 3

Facilitate increased public transport usage to aid in issues such as increased greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion.

Key Objective 4

Incorporate greater links between land use planning and transport, especially in relation to activity centres and the public transport network.

Key Objective 5

Facilitate safe and efficient roads and road links within the municipality and to the wider region that cater for all users given that the majority of residents travel to employment outside the Shire.
