Transport and Movement Strategy 2022 - 2032

Purpose of the Transport and Movement Strategy

The Transport and Movement Strategy seeks to develop an integrated and sustainable approach towards transport and movement in West Torrens and to ensure it meets the needs of the local community, businesses, visitors, and for those travelling in, out and around West Torrens.

The transport network is continually evolving as it responds to, and strives to meet, the needs of the community. It is timely to update that Strategy to take into account emerging issues and needs of a changing community. Importantly, this Strategy provides a coordinated framework to deliver outcomes in a collaborative, efficient and transparent manner, achieve strategic outcomes and cost savings, while also serving as a support tool for funding submissions.

Key aims of this new Strategy:

• Revise the existing Plan to address emerging trends and issues
• Provide direction to meet the needs of the community
• Support a safe, connected and sustainable city
• Bring a focus on active transport
• Guide road investments
• Secure funding opportunities
