• Infrastructure charging reform
• New planning act
• But where does transport infrastructure fit in?
Transport planning. Delivering a positive planning culture
• Good planning defines the what, where, when … and who pays
• Transport infrastructure needs planning just as much as other
infrastructure
• Transport infrastructure can guide development as much as it
reflects it
• Done right, can help achieve social, economic and
environmental outcomes
• Done wrong, can lead to sprawl and congestion

Disintegrated planning. Delivering a positive planning culture
• A ‘transport’ problem can have a ‘transport’ or a
‘land use’ solution
• Regional plans and IRTPs have been created
together but lower level planning occurs
independently
• Network, area and corridor transport planning
needs to have close relationship with land use
planning
• Don’t wait until DA stage to reintegrate

What if? Delivering a positive planning culture
• Local and state government transport
plans matched?
• ‘Infrastructure’ charging schemes could
include services instead of infrastructure?
• Transport area and corridor studies were
undertaken by an integrated transport and
land use planning department?
• Planning was seen as facilitating the right
development rather than ‘red tape’?
