Moylan calls for local input on the integrated transport plan

24th Sep 2024

Member for NORTHERN Tablelands, Brendan Moylan is encouraging locals to jump online and use an interactive map to guide the NSW Government’s Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan.
Mr Moylan said it’s an opportunity for people to make important comments about their local roads and transport, by pinpointing local issues with regional transport.
“For instance, a section of road north of Armidale on the New England Highway has been earmarked for funding, and I’ve encouraged those residents to pinpoint exactly what needs upgrading by dropping a pin on this map,” Mr Moylan said.
“Together, we have marked the location and made a comment that a turning lane is desperately needed from the New England Highway onto Puddledock Road.
“This very dangerous intersection – it has also gathered 200 signatures for an e-petition to Parliament which further supports the need for an upgrade.
“Using this interactive tool, we’ve given the NSW Government valuable and targeted feedback, the Government will now consider those comments in determining how the earmarked funding will be used”.
Mr Moylan said he is encouraging everyone in the Northern Tablelands to make use of this technology and have their say to inform an integrated transport plan for the region.
“Whether it’s a road, roundabout or intersection that needs upgrading, feedback on bus routes and timetables, the difficulties of accessing public transport or private taxis in our smaller towns that needs to be looked at, don’t hesitate to jump online and provide feedback,” he said.
“You can also upload a submission using the same link.”
Mr Moylan said submissions are open until 31 December 2024.
“The Minister has told me the Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan for the New England and North West is set to be delivered in early 2026.
“This is a golden opportunity to pave the way for a better transport system so jump online and have your say.”
