About this event
Please join AITPM Tasmania to hear from experts in their field in keeping Hobart moving.
This event is for anyone who missed the 2022 AITPM National Conference in NSW. AITPM Tasmania will showcase three Hobart based presenters that participated and attended the conference in July.
Topics will cover three areas ranging from reshaping mobility, keeping Hobart moving and transport network planning.
Speakers:
- Samantha Chapman, GHD and Dusty Moore, Department of State Growth
- Erin Jackson, GHD
- Mary Haverland, Arcadis
Presentations:
1. Keeping Hobart moving
Samantha Chapman, Senior Engineer and Tasmanian Transport Market Leader, GHD and Dusty Moore, Network Planner, Department of State Growth
Journeys to work in Greater Hobart are forecast to increase by 30% by 2040, which is unsustainable with current infrastructure and modal split. Expanding infrastructure is not the preferred option due to spatial constraints and climate impacts. Therefore, a bold travel demand management response is required. The presentation explores the visioning approach to providing transit infrastructure currently being trialled by the Department of State Growth (Tasmania) to change behaviours and create choice to ultimately address the mobility needs of a city with growing pains.
The Department has traditionally delivered infrastructure through a predict and provide model. Due to a lower population density and slower growth, projects have been able to be successfully delivered to address localised issues despite this being a reactive approach. As an attractive capital city, Hobart has entered a new phase of high growth. However, this has resulted in continued with urban sprawl, coupled with constrained road corridor environments, all in the context of the global climate crisis and emerging transport technologies. Therefore, it is clear a new approach is imminently required to reshape mobility in one of Australia's most car dependent capital cities.
2. Thinking differently about transport network planning to unlock community benefit
Erin Jackson, Technical Director and Smart Transport Solutions Lead, GHD
How confident are we as transport professionals that strategic direction is being translated all the way down to street level? Are we watering down urban initiatives to compromise for a wide range of users to avoid making difficult trade-offs in complex urban environments? How can you plan for a future network when significant land use decisions are yet to be understood?
This presentation explores the complexity of our urban transport systems and the challenges with delivering local transport transformation projects and ensuring that operations align with overarching strategy. The presentation draws on current investigations being undertaken by the presenter and GHD team into why urban transport programs are failing to deliver on strategic visions and why some projects aren't progressing at all.
The presentation will explore the strategies available to us that work together to enable a successful outcome. Given the complexity of the issue, it's not a surprise that the solution equally needs an intricate, personalised and collaborative process. As practitioners, we need to embrace the diverse needs and interrelated systems underpinning our communities and require a fully stocked toolkit aimed at providing decision-making clarity, resolving misalignment between stakeholders and ultimately creating a pathway for implementation.
3. Mobility for resilient cities
Mary Haverland, Senior Technical Director – Transport Planning & Advisory, Arcadis
Mary will explore how we can reshape mobility and create resilient cities by stepping beyond ‘predict and provide’ planning, recognising the dual role of roads and streets for transport operations and as public spaces using Movement and Place Frameworks, and the use of people data as our evidence base for decisions.
Following the presentations, please join us in networking with likeminded professionals in the industry with food and beverages available.
