Overview Adelaide's transport action group People for Public Transport held its annual conference 'Missed Opportunities - New Possibilities' on Saturday 25 October 2003 at Balyana Conference Centre, Clapham, attracting some notable speakers and considerable interest. The next three pages present a brief overview of the event and highlights of the speakers' comments. The keynote speaker was Dr Paul Mees, a well known public transport advocate from Melbourne, where he teaches transport and land use planning in the urban planning program at the University of Melbourne. He was President of the Public Transport Users Association (Vic) from 1992 to 2001. (See separate panel page 42.) Dr Alan Perkins talked about the benefits of making railway stations centres for the community, with commercial and medium density housing clustered around the stations and noted places where this had not happened. He stressed the importance of urban design and security at stations. Dr Perkins' work has focused on the nexus of urban planning, transport, greenhouse impacts and sustainability, through research and policy development. He is Senior Transport Policy Analyst with the SA Department of Transport and Urban Planning. See below. Mr Roy Arnold, General Manager of TransAdelaide' talked about his vision for the future of Adelaide's suburban rail, including the new trams, to be introduced in 2005. This is summarised on page 42. Mr Nell Smith, General Manager of Swan Transit (Perth) and a director of Torrens Transit in Adelaide, has been deeply involved in the service reviews that have led to the reversal of long term patronage decline in both cities.

  • Our Plan Our Plan
    OUR PLAN OUR PLAN TRANSPORT NETWORKS THAT CONNECT PEOPLE TO PLACES AND BUSINESSES TO MARKETS For inner and middle Adelaide • A sharper focus on inner Adelaide to boost the central city as a creative, lively and energetic area where more people want to live and businesses want to locate. • Making bold choices − bringing a network of trams back to Adelaide, called AdeLINK and refocusing our transport system to support and actively encourage mixed-use medium density, vibrant communities and business growth in inner and middle urban areas. For Greater Adelaide • An increasing focus on major urban centres and accessibility to these centres − building upon the electrification of the north-south backbone of the public transport system, a modernised and redesigned bus network with a focus on major activity centres, and supporting a more active city through better connected walking and cycling networks and walkable environments. • Giving businesses the efficient, reliable transport connections they need to deliver goods and services around the city and to interstate and international markets − a well-targeted package of investment in the North-South Corridor, Inner and Outer Ring Routes and intersection and road upgrades. For regional and remote South Australia • Better connecting regional towns and communities to jobs, services and opportunities − focusing on a high quality, well maintained road network and improving community and passenger transport services. • Managing the growing volumes of freight moving around the state and making sure the mining sector has the transport connections it needs to expand. 40 OUR PLAN 3.1 OUR PLAN FOR INNER AND MIDDLE ADELAIDE Liveability is one of Adelaide’s greatest assets.

  • Final Paper Template
    State of Australian Cities Conference 2013 The Role of Adelaide's Transit Oriented Developments Towards Creating a Low Carbon Transit Future City Andrew Allan1 1School of Natural & Built Environments and Barbara Hardy Research Institute, The University of South Australia Abstract: The release of the 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide (30YPGA) in 2010 set out an ambitious plan to transform a car oriented city into a transit oriented city. This would ultimately be achieved by developing a network of over 30 centres built to transit oriented development (TOD) principles connected by densely developed transit corridors. The 30YPGA implies that this will result in an environmentally sustainable city in which transit induced carbon emissions will be greatly reduced. This should be achieved through a modal switch for work journeys from private car to public transit, cycling and walking and through people choosing housing that is co-located near or in TODs, thereby minimizing the need to travel by car. However, given that the 30YPGA reassures Adelaide’s populace that at least two thirds of the metropolitan area will remain unchanged (i.e. low density car dependent residential development), the overall changes to Adelaide’s urban morphology may be modest at best. This paper explores Census data to examine the scale of transport related carbon emissions reductions that can be achieved by the 30YPGA over three stages: (1) a CBD centric interim park and ride phase commuter model where existing car trips to the CBD are substituted with park and ride; (2) a CBD centric commuter model using a TOD and transit corridor network; and (3) a fully fledged TOD network where residents collocate their jobs and housing to minimize their need for carbon inducing urban transit.
