Integrated Transport and Land Use Plan

Revised version released on 6 July 2015 The Process

GOALS 1. Healthy, safe, affordable and connected communities 2. A strong, diverse and growing economy 3. Thriving natural and built environments 1. Growing the role of public transport 2. Efficient connections to export/import gateways CHALLENGES 3. Prioritising transport to encourage mixed-use development 4. Encouraging active travel modes 5. Fine -tuning maintaining and better utilising asset 6. Planning system to integrate transport and land use PRIORITIES 17 priorities to address challenges

 Public transport for Greater Solutions for all of :  Road Network for Greater Adelaide Managing and maintaining the asset SOLUTIONS  Cycling and walking for Greater Adelaide Safety  Regional South Australia Reducing environmental impacts  Freight and ports Reducing car dependency

Public Transport

 Complete the improvements to the north- south backbone train network (ie electrification)  AdeLINK tram network  Redesign and modernise the bus network  Potential underground train loop in the CBD  Protect the extension of train lines in the north and south in the longer term  Relocate passenger rail terminal into Adelaide station in the longer term

www.transportplan.sa.gov.au Adelaide’s Road and Rail Freight Network  Complete the North-South Corridor  Upgrade the Inner Ring Route & Outer Ring Route  Duplicate to McLaren Vale, and in the longer term to Mount Compass  Targeted intersection and road section upgrades along major traffic and freight routes – including some road duplication  Actively manage the road network  Implement Managed Motorways  Protect freight routes  Upgrade freight rail through Adelaide Hills and into northern Adelaide

www.transportplan.sa.gov.au Cycling and Walking

 Extend the Bikedirect network, with focus on public transport hubs, activity centres and schools  Separate cycling and walking routes along arterial roads where possible  Complete the Greenways Program  Expand cycling and walking catchments – e.g. people-friendly streets  Work with councils to maintain and create walking and cycling networks  Promote cycling and walking, and improve driver awareness

www.transportplan.sa.gov.au Regional SA/Freight/Ports 35% of total ITLUP investment is in regional SA  Seal the  Duplicate the to Victoria  Targeted road widening, more overtaking lanes and rest areas across the network  Prepare regional passenger transport plans  Support regional aviation  Implement the Regional Mining & Infrastructure Plan  Upgrade roads to expand High Productivity Vehicle network  Upgrade rail lines  Improve connectivity to air and sea ports  Deliver regulatory reforms (eg National Heavy Vehicle Regulator)  Provide freight hubs and intermodals

www.transportplan.sa.gov.au State-wide Solutions Manage and maintain our transport assets • Increased maintenance funding to improve and sustain the performance of the transport network, make better use of our transport assets  Make our transport system safer and deliver South Australia’s Road Safety Strategy • Invest in infrastructure, promote and encourage safe behaviour, improve licensing , apply new technology Reduce environmental impacts • Design and procurement practices, vehicle emissions and impacts Reduce car dependency • Encourage alternative modes
