We invite you to tell us more about transport issues in the City of Holdfast Bay, how they might be managed, and what would encourage you to leave your car at home and instead walk, cycle and catch public transport? What should transport look like in Holdfast Bay in 2040?

Your insights and ideas will influence the development of an Integrated Transport Strategy that:

  • identifies opportunities to improve efficient and safe transport and movement of people and goods within and through the City
  • provides for a transport network that better balances the needs of residents, visitors/tourists, commercial and passing travellers
  • identifies ways to encourage increased active travel to reduce private vehicle trips.

The strategy will identify a range of transport improvements and opportunities that can be advocated for or examined for the best way to implement them. This includes the potential for use of new technologies.

A draft strategy is being created, informed by engagement input from 18 June to 8 July 2019, and further data collection and analysis.

Guest Book

Our corporate vision for the City of Holdfast Bay is -

Balancing our progress with our heritage, we lead in coastal management to deliver high-quality public spaces and services to build a welcoming, safe and active community where resident, visitor and business prosperity meet.

We invite your feedback on a draft vision for the transport proposed as follows:

We lead in planning and delivering a sustainable transport network that supports a welcoming, safe and accessible community for residents, visitors and businesses.

The principles supporting this vision might be:

Integrating transport and land use - the future transport network of the area is aligned with the intended future land use and development pattern, concentrating new development in areas well served by public transport and connected within the City with good walking and cycling infrastructure.

A safe and accessible city - Brighton Road serves both as a business and community services provider and an important metropolitan road network connection.

This function does not come at the expense of the local community and businesses, which use the road for local access. Residents have safe and convenient access across the road to ensure equitable access to local businesses and services, areas of open space and the coast.

An active and sustainable community - where walking and cycling and public transport trips replace private vehicle trips. The local road network prioritises access for people who walk and cycle.

Supporting productivity and business - effective movement of freight and business traffic that improves conditions for local business prosperity and community services.

Smarter approaches using new technology - optimisation of parking, traffic management, way-finding and access to different modes of transport to provide more efficient ways of using the transport resources we have.

Advocacy and Education - Advocating to State and Federal Governments for improvements and investments to the arterial road and public transport network that deliver on its vision for transport. An educated community understands the impacts of their transport choices and has information on alternatives and building movements for change.
