Infrastructure - What does the draft Strategy propose?
A connected City makes it easy for people of all ages and abilities to move around, providing accessible pathways to accessible places.
Projections indicate that by 2031, the volume of traffic using the City’s road network is likely to exceed the capacity on many major arterial roads during peak hours. To reduce potential adverse impacts on residents and business opportunities, there is a need to consider a combination of road upgrades, and transitioning to more sustainable transport modes like cycling, walking and public transport.
The other key infrastructure consideration is the telecommunications networks that, while not managed or controlled by the City, are critical in meeting community needs. While the hard infrastructure is privately owned, and largely exempt from local government approvals and control, the City has a key role in facilitating and lobbying providers and landowners to make suitable land available to maintain and improve access, reliability, and speed.
