    Integrated Transport Plan Background Paper i Background Paper January 2017 This background paper was compiled by Hobsons Bay City Council. For further information contact Council on 9932 1000 or at www.hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au Council acknowledges all language groups of the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners of these municipal lands. We recognise the first people’s relationship to this land and offer our respect to their elders past and present. Council also acknowledges the legal responsibility to comply with the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 and the Equal Opportunity Act 2010. ii Executive summary The purpose of this background paper is to present an evidence base to inform future integrated transport planning in Hobsons Bay. Background Council released the Hobsons Bay Integrated Transport Strategy in 2006. More recently, consultation has identified ‘access to transport’ as an ongoing issue, particularly in neighbourhoods with limited transport options and high car dependency. In response to these concerns, Council committed to commence the development of an Integrated Transport Plan in 2014, with the first step being to develop a background paper. This background paper reinforces the need for long term strategic planning to coordinate Hobsons Bay’s interrelated transport modes into an integrated system. This ‘network approach’ is underpinned by a sustainable transport hierarchy that prioritises active, public and freight transport, while encouraging reduced private car use. Integrated transport planning can

APOLOGY Expressions of Interest Sorry this edition of News is a bit late. I’ve spent SNAKE ISLAND, PORT WELSHPOOL two weeks in the snow at Charlotte Pass, covering the time I’d usually be working on the newsletter. Tuesday 4 to Thursday 6 Feb 2020 Sorry also for the missing walk previews – as I was away I wasn’t able to nag the leaders. By the way, I’ve been producing this newsletter for about 9 years now, and am wondering if somebody else would like a go. I can help with the first couple of months. Merilyn Whimpey News Editor Calls for Early Expressions of Interest GREAT BARRIER ISLAND, This is a mid-week base camp offering either camping NEW ZEALAND or shared dorms. We are allowed to use the Cattlemen’s 15 to 25 March 2020 Association huts for free for the two nights. A charter boat takes us from Port Welshpool to a Easy/Medium (mostly day walks/base camping, one beach close to the huts, then we have about a 300 m overnight hike to cabin).
