DRAFT WAGGA WAGGA Transport Plan Baylis Street, Wagga Wagga 01 DRAFT WAGGA WAGGA Transport Plan Baylis Street, Wagga Wagga 01 Wagga Wagga Transport Plan Wagga Wagga is changing. We need to manage the transport network differently to realise the community vision for Wagga Wagga and ensure transport can support growth in a sustainable way. The Wagga Wagga Transport Plan is the first Future Transport Plan for regional NSW. The learnings from this process will inform other regional Future Transport Plans around NSW. The plan has been led by Transport for NSW in collaboration with Wagga Wagga City Council and with input from Wagga Wagga organisations and NSW Government agencies. What is a Transport Plan? › A Transport Plan provides a shared vision for how the transport network, infrastructure and services will be managed and developed over time to realise community aspirations. › The Transport Plans take a movement and place approach. This approach considers how the desired land uses and transport network will work together to achieve a community vision for a place. It involves multiple stakeholders and practitioners with expertise in land use planning, urban design and transport planning. › The NSW Government’s Regional NSW Services and Infrastructure Plan commits to developing integrated transport plans for regional centres like Wagga Wagga. NSW Common Planning Assumptions Common Planning Assumptions are used across agencies to ensure alignment and understanding of the relevant data, policies and assumptions to underpin planning decisions and policy analysis for government strategies and investment decisions. This supports consistency in the advice provided to Government and the community. The Common Planning Assumptions represent a consistent baseline or a starting point, and are developed based on current and past trends and agreed policies and plans. They are not targets or scenarios. This strategy and supporting analysis are based on the agreed Common Planning Assumptions as at October 2020. Details of the Common Planning Assumptions used are set out in the Common Planning Assumptions Book version 3.1.

Wagga Wagga is located within Wiradjuri country. Wiradjuri country extends from the Central West and Western Slopes and Plains of NSW and includes the other towns of Dubbo, Condobolin, Orange, Bathurst, Albury, Griffith and Narrandera. Wiradjuri people have a strong continued connection to their Country, maintaining their language, customs, stories and song and dance. In Wiradjuri language, Wagga Wagga has evolved from Wagan Wagan which means ‘a place where crows congregate’ or ‘a place of dance and celebration’. The Murrumbidgee River holds a strong sense of place and connection to the Wiradjuri mob for generations. The river is an important feature in the Wiradjuri landscape and storytelling. It also forms part of a major migration route for Aboriginal people coming from the north. Traditionally, small family groups lived in Wagga Wagga, which was a meeting place for major gatherings where disputes were settled, laws were made and new totems (budyan) were chosen. Today, Wagga Wagga remains the traditional home for many Wiradjuri people as well as people from other Aboriginal countries. In the 2016 census, about 3,500 (5%) of the 62,000 residents counted in Wagga Wagga said they were Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people, or both. Of these, 96% were Aboriginal. Between the 2011 and 2016 censuses, an additional 800 people identified as Aboriginal were counted in the census. About 38% of the Aboriginal population in Wagga Wagga is under 14 years in comparison to the State population of 34%. The average age of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents in Wagga is 20 years compared to the overall NSW average population of 38 years. The NSW Government and Wagga Wagga City Council are committed to ensuring Wiradjuri heritage is reflected in planning, management and development. The Transport for NSW Reconciliation Action Plan 2019-2021 acknowledges and pays respect to the role of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as custodians of the lands where we work within Transport for NSW. It also demonstrates our commitment to working towards reconciliation both within Transport and in communities across NSW. Transport for NSW supports Wagga Wagga City Council’s Reconciliation Plan which envisages Wagga Wagga to be a “thriving, innovative, connected and inclusive community”.

The Wagga Wagga Transport Plan is a 20 year plan that outlines a staged approach to reprioritising Wagga Wagga’s urban roads and streets so that: › Priority networks are developed for walking, cycling, bus, general vehicle access and through movement of heavy vehicles. › Walking and buses are prioritised within the Health and Knowledge Precinct and Central Business District. › Local access to and from precincts is prioritised within Wagga Wagga’s urban core. › Edward Street and Hammond Avenue, which make up the urban sections of the Sturt Highway, are reconfigured to focus on movements to and from land uses along the corridor in line with increasing medium density development. › A heavy vehicle alternative route to the north of Wagga Wagga is investigated that links the Olympic and Sturt highways and connects key freight and logistics precincts outside the urban core. The Wagga Wagga Transport Plan adopts a hub and spoke network model to guide service and infrastructure planning and management for regional travel to and from Wagga Wagga. It also builds on the findings of the Wagga Wagga Urban Highway Study, a strategic framework to ensure the State road network addresses the city’s road safety and traffic efficiency challenges into the future. The plan has identified 39 initiatives that we believe in combination will support the realisation of the transport vision for Wagga Wagga by 2041. While some initiatives are already in the delivery or planning phases, new initiatives will be staged over multiple timescales. 06 CHAPTER 1A changing Wagga Wagga Chapter 1: A changing Wagga Wagga 07 Wagga Wagga as a global and regional hub Wagga Wagga’s unique position in Australia Situated on Wiradjuri country in the Riverina-Murray region of NSW, Wagga Wagga is at the crossroads of the Olympic and Sturt highways and the main Sydney/Melbourne and Brisbane/ Melbourne (inland) railway. Investment in Wagga Wagga over the next 20 years, including the Inland Rail Project and the Wagga Wagga Special Activation Precinct, will leverage its unique position in Australia and strengthen its role as a regional hub with a global outlook. Wagga Wagga has been identified for significant investment due to its role as a freight and logistics hub to the region and beyond. All levels of government are collaborating with Wagga Wagga City Council to ensure appropriate planning takes place to maximise on the benefits of this investment.

We put in a request to MediaOps in Canberra who, as always, were very helpful and organised it for us. Not a lot of the Laverton mob would be familiar with RAAF Base Wagga, it sits about 10klm east of the City of Wagga Wagga, on the Sturt Highway and has been an operational RAAF base since 1940. Until a few years back, it was the training home for all trades except radio/comms, but these days it does the lot, including rookies which has been moved up from Edinburgh. It began life as RAAF Base Forest Hill on the 29th July 1940, during WW2 and has been an integral part of the local Wagga Wagga community ever since. In conjunction with airfields at Uranquinty and Temora, it was initially established with the sole purpose of housing No 2 Flying Training School (2FTS) which was part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (known as the Empire Training Scheme). In August 1942 it had an additional tenant when 31 Sqn, which flew Beaufighters, was established and then after peace broke out, in 1946, it was declared the home of all Ground Training and in 1950 the School of Technical Training was established. A VVolol 52 49 PagePage 10 8 In 1952 it was renamed RAAF Base Wagga to identify with the broader community, then the School of Management was established in 1985 (but was disbanded in December 2004) and in 1999 the Ground Training Wing was established and merged with the Point Cook based RAAF College.
