The paper’s aim is to illustrate how a sustainable transport program can be achieved using the author’s research on a sustainable area planning (SAP) framework. The framework can be applied to biodiversity, land, water or transport with an aim to adopt sustainability programs. The author has selected transport to apply the framework using a case study method. The case subject study area to illustrate how the SAP framework would apply is the Central Coast, a northern growth region within the New South Wales (NSW) Greater Metropolitan Region (GMR) of Sydney-Metropolitan, Illawarra, Central Coast and Lower Hunter regions. The paper firstly explains the concept of sustainability and the SAP framework. Secondly, the paper outlines the SAP framework relative to transport within a case study area. Finally, the paper illustrates the application of the SAP framework to the case study area. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E213716.
