Thank you to everyone who completed the online survey or made a submission to have their say on the Draft South East and Tablelands Regional Transport Plan (‘the Draft Plan’).
The consultation period for the Draft Plan began on Friday 16 December 2022 and continued until Friday 24 February 2023.
More than 600 responses were received in just over 9 weeks.
We extend our sincere thanks to the residents, visitors and businesses of Wingecarribee, Goulburn-Mulwaree, Upper Lachlan, Hilltops, Yass Valley, Queanbeyan Palerang, Snowy Monaro, Eurobodalla, and Bega Valley who took part in the consultation.
Your voices will play a role in determining how transport evolves across the region over the course of the next two decades.
Feedback received during the consultation period will be compiled and reviewed by the Draft Plan’s project team. Insights from the submissions and survey responses will help to inform the Final Plan, which is expected to be released later in 2023.
The Draft South East and Tablelands Regional Transport Plan put forward a vision for how the region’s transport network, infrastructure and services will be structured over time to keep people and the economy moving safely, efficiently and sustainably.
In 2018, the NSW Government released the Future Transport Strategy: a long-term plan for transport in NSW. The Draft Plan outlined what that will mean for the South East and Tablelands over the next 20 years.
Prior to the public consultation period, the development of the Draft Plan was guided by formal engagement and workshops with stakeholders from all 9 councils across the South East and Tablelands, as well as key state agencies and regional stakeholders.
Although feedback on the Draft Plan has closed, you can still provide feedback on how we conducted the consultation, what we did well and what we could have done better. Feedback can be sent to SouthEastTablelandsRTP@transport.nsw.gov.au . This will help us to keep improving the way we consult with the communities of NSW.
