In addition to dealing with road management issues the Roads & Transport Directorate was set up to investigate transport issues affecting Local Government and to provide assistance to meet members needs.
The group has identified a number of transport issues and two of these have been selected for further development.
The first issue for consideration is the need for the development of a co-ordinated planning framework for transport in the Metropolitan Area. Transport is not dealt with adequately in the State Government’s Metro Strategy and any future planning for transport must meet the needs of Local Government.
* The second issue raised is the management of parking across the Metropolitan Area.
