The Australian Transport Assessment and Planning (ATAP) Guidelines (known as the National Guidelines for Transport System Management before 2016) have played an important role since 2004 when they were first published.

Following the completion of a review in 2021, a new program for maintaining and improving the Guidelines has approved. The presentation will provide an over of these recent developments.

There is limited understanding of how people are truly interacting with their cities. High-level and static data is often relied upon to inform our understanding and thus how we plan, but cities are dynamic and accessing comprehensive real-time geodata has not been easy – until now. People movement data not only provides insights to how people are moving around places, but also offers insights into how long people are spending in certain areas, where they’ve come from, travel patterns over time, and so on. Most importantly, this data can provide the evidence behind people-orientated planning. Knowing who, when, where, how and even the ‘why’ behind people movement allows us to effectively plan for more connected and walkable neighbourhoods. During this webinar, you will hear from Vincent Ng, Transport Planner at the City of Casey, on how innovative uses of data will lead the planning of 20-minute neighbourhoods within the LGA. Vincent heads a whole-of-Council initiative that b
As the population ages and people live longer there is a public health necessity to ensure older people have a safe environment to stay active through the use of active transport.

Recent, rapid increases in levels of traffic on our road network may have long term implications for modal shift. It’s timely to discuss the potential of road pricing to help bring balance to our transport network.
