INTRODUCTION 01 N161710 // 15/05/19 Draft Report // Issue: A-Dr Local Movement Strategy, City of Canada Bay 1 INTRODUCTION DRAFT 1.1. Introduction and Background GTA Consultants (GTA) has been commissioned by the City of Canada Bay Council (Council) to prepare a Local Movement Strategy and Action Plan (LMS). Recent amendments to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the Act) require Council to review and amend the Canada Bay Local Environmental Plan (LEP) as soon as practicable, to address the requirements in the Eastern City District Plan. Council is intending to amend the LEP within two years. The Act also requires Council to undertake the review in a strategic manner, by developing a Local Strategic Planning Statement that will set out the community’s 20-year vision for land-use in the local area (as also expressed in Council’s Community Strategic Plan) and how change will be managed into the future. 1.2. Scope This report provides an overview of the existing transport situation, relevant transport opportunities and constraints, future transport and land use trends and changes. It also presents a series of actions per travel mode that support overarching strategic objectives across the Canada Bay Local Government Area (LGA). 1.3. Study Area Figure 1.1 illustrates the study area for this report, which is the entire City of Canada Bay Council LGA. It includes major roads on the boundaries (such as Parramatta Road) and train stations such as Strathfield.
