Scenario planning
Transport and Main Roads recognises that the future is far from certain. The unprecedented pace of change means that organisations, such as ours, cannot simply rely on past trends in planning for the future.
Scenario planning helps us to understand the forces that drive and shape the future. By telling stories about plausible futures, scenario planning enables decision makers to consider their plans against a range of possible outcomes.
A scenario planning process was undertaken by Transport and Main Roads over a six-month period and resulted in the development of four scenarios: SuperCity, Coastal Bloom, Carbon Crunch and Global Bust.
These are outlined in the 4seeable futures document, which is available to download.
