Bayside and Redlands Transport and Mobility Study

The Bayside and Redlands Transport and Mobility Study will investigate opportunities to enhance movement to, from and within the study area.

We've identified the need for a multi-modal transport study to investigate the transport challenges and mobility priorities relating to road, active transport and public transport modes.

Our transport study will identify the communities' current and future mobility priorities when travelling to, from and within the area, supported by desired outcomes and a high-level overview of the preferred 2046 transport networks. The study will provide a clearer understanding of the transport and mobility issues faced in the study area and includes community engagement to understand local transport network priorities.

Current status

As part of this study, the Department of Transport and Main Roads has identified strategic needs for the area, developed a draft vision for the future of the transport network within the Bayside and Redlands, and proposed potential strategic outcomes to achieve the vision.

We are seeking community feedback on the draft vision and strategic needs and outcomes to inform the future planning for the region’s transport network. 

Consultation closes Monday 27 May 2024.
