Transport and Movement Strategy

The Transport and Movement Strategy 2022-2032 helps us prepare for future community growth and visitor influx, and to meet the evolving needs of our community.

As we experience changes to our urban landscape, population and climate, we need to consider the diverse mobility needs of our community, travel patterns, connectivity, change in transport demands, parking and safety issues, and to build resilience to climate change. Smarter ways of using the transport network will become increasingly important, as will the need to create greening and cooler corridors to support walking and cycling, public transportation, and to transition to alternative and sustainable forms of transport.

Traffic controls

Traffic controls are used to keep our roads safe and accessible for everyone to use.

The types of traffic controls we put in place and maintain are:

• roundabouts, speed humps and chicanes
• line markings and crossings
• street lighting.

Our responsibilities

Where we install traffic controls on local roads is determined by Council's Transport and Movement Strategy 2022-2032. We are not responsible for installing traffic controls on state roads.

Monitoring the traffic

We continually monitor traffic movements to identify if traffic calming devices and other safety measures need to be considered.

Devices are placed on local roads to collect data about:

• the volume of traffic in a street
• the time and direction of travel
• average vehicle speeds.

Improvements to streets are often included with road reconstruction programs or stormwater drainage projects.
