South Australia has been preparing an integrated land use and transport strategy as a vehicle to achieve the Government’s vision of a sustainable transport system: one that is integrated, coordinated, affordable, efficient and safe, and meets the accessibility needs of all South Australians. The strategy concentrates on finding the balance between infrastructure development, regulation, and system management. A draft strategy was released for community consultation in 2003. Work is in progress to finalise the draft as an integrated strategy. The integrated land use and transport strategy incorporates land use planning approaches and innovations on more traditional transport solutions. The Strategy aims to maximize access to infrastructure and services to widen transport choices in rural and metropolitan areas. Emphasis is on fair access for pedestrians, cyclists and more sustainable transport modes generally. Public transport is given greater priority than in the past at intersections, on the transport system and for Government expenditure as is rail and shipping for the movement of freight.
