Recommendation
57. Guide future transport infrastructure investments into areas of strategic need by refreshing statewide strategic transport planning, aligned with land-use plans and policies, including:
- developing, publishing and implementing a new 20-year regional transport plan, including a focus on freight supply chains across all modes and across all regions outside of Perth and Peel that builds on recent region-specific freight plans and considers strategic cross-regional issues
- developing, publishing and implementing a new 20-year Perth and Peel transport plan that combines and prioritises all key mode-specific transport planning across Transport Portfolio agencies and embeds a diverse range of non-build, demand management and transport innovation opportunities and scenarios, and station precinct intensification opportunities
- finalising development of the new Perth transport model, which incorporates the use of modern, diverse network usage data and establishes a seamless staffing and operational model for use across the Transport Portfolio.
