Green Square Urban Renewal Area: Transport Management and Accessibility Plan (TMAP)

Green Square Transport Management & Accessibility Plan

Achieving integrated and sustainable transport is the core basis of planning for the Green Square Urban Renewal Area. 

The City of Sydney has been working cooperatively with various state agencies including NSW Transport and Infrastructure, Roads and Traffic Authority, Landcom, Department of Planning and RailCorp to develop a Transport Management Accessibility Plan (TMAP) for the Green Square Urban Renewal Area. The TMAP was finalised in December 2008.

The TMAP will guide future sustainable development of the Green Square Renewal Area and also guide the provision of transport infrastructure and services by the State Government.  The TMAP is intended to:

  • Reduce the growth of car based trips
  • Create a significant shift from private vehicles to public transport, with a target  by 2016 for CBD work trips by public transport of 75% and 25% for metropolitan work trips as per the State Government’s target set in the State Plan
  • Manage increasing freight movements from Port Botany expansion, and
  • Improve the liveability of the inner city.

 

Key TMAP outcomes are to:

  • Identify actions for implementation by key stakeholders in agreed timeframes
  • Identify preferred options to improve transport network, corridors and services to integrate walking cycling and public transport and traffic management to achieve sustainable outcomes
  • Detail benefits and impacts of the preferred options
  • Detail feasibility of the corridors, terms of priority staging, ownership and acquisition, preservation and potential for multi modal integration over time
  • Identify key issues which influence sustainable development of Green Square and develop short, medium and long term transport management options.
  • Determine the accessibility of the precincts in the Green Square Urban Renewal Area over time and their capacity to maximise shift to public transport
  • Identify travel demand management programs to encourage use of public transport and manage car parking provision, aiming to reduce the growth in car based trips over time
  • To inform future planning controls for the Green Square Urban Renewal Area.

The State Government has convened the Green Square TMAP Implementation Taskforce to guide the implementation of the recommended measures. The City of Sydney is represented as a key stakeholder.

The TMAP Reports are available to view or download.
