This project aims to establish the potential over the longer term for land-use and other related policies to contribute to a significant reduction in transport energy consumption in Victoria. Project outcomes will also include a projection of the relative impact of different transport infrastructure options on greenhouse gas emissions and transport energy outcomes. This will be used to assist consideration of transport policy and land-use planning issues, such as the potential over the longer term for land-use and other related policies to contribute to a significant reduction in transport energy consumption in Victoria. This paper focuses on one aspect of the urban formtransport energy project: namely, it provides a discussion of some of the results from the Department of Transports modelling of transport energy outcomes for the Melbourne region, with a focus on the impacts of different macro-urban form typologies on transport energy trip usage. The investigations cover trip energy usage results by mode, by metropolitan region and for a number of case study areas. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no.
