Integrated Transport Plan
Integrated Transport Plan
Vision supported by a series of objectives that would shape decision-making for transport
infrastructure and services
Aligned with and in support of the collaboratively
developed place-based vision and objectives for
Macquarie Park
30+ potential transport initiatives identified to meet growth and align
with the transport vision and objectives
Integrated Transport Plan
Integrated Transport Plan – Next Steps
Further validate the set of relevant transport
infrastructure and service initiatives using transport
and traffic modelling
Initiatives will need to be implemented by both
local and state governments
Sequencing of redevelopment will be
considered to align growth with the provision
of infrastructure
Improve the quality of movement

‘Reciprocity, diversity and sustainability’
A growing home to world class businesses,
innovation, research and education, Macquarie Park
is competitive and resilient, with a stronger role
within Greater Sydney and Australia’s economy.
It is a place for people, characterised by its
connectivity and the unique setting of Wallumattagal
Country – a place of rivers and fertile wetlands with
a deep history of learning, trade and culture.
It is a place where people go to share ideas; a place
that fosters creativity through interconnected
relationships between people, businesses, places of
education and a renewed connection to Country.

lead the coordination of the RCG as a
steering committee that:
• oversees the implementation of the
Place Strategy;
• coordinates State agencies; and
• sets priorities for Macquarie Park.
