The chapter identifies ways in which Key Transport choice provides more equitable access, and improves the liveability of our Objective 2 of our Community Strategic Plan can be achieved: urban areas and the sustainability of our environment (Department of Urban Affairs and Planning, 2001). Providing a range of transport options therefore ensures our suburbs are ‘There will be ease of travel within the Shire, and to other regional centres healthy, attractive and convenient places in which to live and work. People should be able and cities. Travel will be available at all hours and will be safe, clean and to walk, cycle and use public transport, and not rely solely on private vehicles. affordable.’ A coordinated and coherent access network based on cars, improved public transport and a cycle and pedestrian system will be crucial in making the settlement pattern for Wyong work. Planning for new urban communities needs to consider the provision of accessible, affordable and equitable transport options for the existing and future population as well as visitors. A significant goal will be to increase transport choice and reduce dependency on private vehicles for access to employment, education, retail and recreational opportunities. This can be achieved through creating environments that are friendly to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users, including older people and people with disabilities.
