Transport Strategy & Economics

Print This Page

The health of urban and rural communities depends heavily on the effectiveness of transport systems, with development and management increasingly requiring  partnerships between the public and private sector.

The efficient movement of goods and people is necessary for our quality of life, economic prosperity and productivity. Appropriate land use policies, pricing, regulations and demand management are needed to underpin integrated supply chains and public transport services to create a sustainable transport system.

Study transport demand, traffic patterns and patronage, review safety and investigate strategic route planning, and its impact on industry and community with GHD, to offer sustainable transport options to support future development proposals.

We help clients develop a strong business case to support sustainable change.

The project is one of high significance and the assessment played a critical role in the evaluation of the planning application by Victoria’s Minister for Planning.

A paramics micro-simulation transport model, developed by GHD, was a key feature of the assessment, allowing highly effective testing of the proposed impacts of the development on internal and external road and rail networks.
