PROJECT
Mildura CBD Access and Mobility Strategy
The Mildura CBD Access and Movement Strategy stood out as an exemplary and forward-thinking Strategic Planning Project, addressing the imperative shift towards more sustainable and efficient mobility within a regional city context. The judging panel commended the project for its pragmatic vision for improvements, underpinned by a practical and robust evidence base. An innovative and thorough community engagement process was undertaken, which was instrumental in achieving location-appropriate policy application in a regional CBD environment.
The strategy's impact is evident in the tangible improvements it has brought to Mildura's mobility landscape. The project serves as a blueprint other regional towns and local councils, offering a replicable model for effecting positive change in car-dependent regional towns. Notably, it leverages Victoria’s Department of Planning and Transport's Movement and Place methodology, showcasing the potential for transformative initiatives even in resource-constrained environments.
Congratulations to Mildura Rural City Council and the Institute for Sensible Transport on this achievement.
