Transport Strategy 2030 to be considered at Future Melbourne Committee


October 11, 2019

The new Transport Strategy 2030 (PDF 22.84MB) will be considered at the Future Melbourne Committee meeting on Tuesday 15 October 2019.

By 2030, the plan to be considered by Councillors aims to:

  • Repurpose the equivalent of more than six MCGs worth of public road space and parking spaces to create more space for pedestrians, cyclists, greening, trading and other important uses.
  • Reduce through traffic in the busiest parts of the central city.
  • Convert central city 'Little Streets' into pedestrian priority shared zones with lower speed limits for cars to better support our thriving retail economy and café culture.
  • Work with the Victorian Government to deliver world-class, welcoming and safe public spaces around our central city stations.
  • Transform Melbourne into Australia's leading bicycle city by creating more than 50km of protected on-road bicycle lanes on key bicycle routes in the heart of the city, and work with the Victorian Government to enable a further 40km of protected bicycle lanes.
  • Deliver 300 additional motorcycle parking bays on streets as alternatives to parking on footpaths.
  • Maintain access for essential car trips, especially for people with a disability, trade, service and emergency vehicles.
  • Work with the Victorian Government to deliver consistency for motorists by introducing 40 km/h speed limits throughout inner Melbourne by reducing speed limits in Parkville Gardens, North and West Melbourne and Yarra's Edge.
