Transport for NSW is planning for the future by preparing an Integrated Transport Plan (ITP) to guide transport planning over the next 10 years.

As part of the development of this plan we need to understand and investigate improvements to the transport network that meets the needs of our customers now and into the future.

The ITP will focus on key areas such as active travel – for example walking, running, and cycling – public transport, road transport, parking and public spaces. It is designed to evaluate infrastructure and service planning from now and into the future.

It will identify a range of actions that Transport, Griffith City Council and other key stakeholders can implement to make Griffith a better place. It will map out how we can improve some of the current transport-related challenges in and around Griffith.

The Griffith Integrated Transport Plan aims to benefit the community by:
•    supporting economic growth and future transport needs in and around Griffith
•    improving safety
•    delivering a high performing, well integrated and efficient transport network
•    improving accessibility to transport infrastructure and services for all community members
•    providing a more reliable journey and better-connected transport services within Griffith.

Community engagement for this project has now closed. Our project team can be contacted by:

• emailing SouthProjects@transport.nsw.gov.au
• writing to Griffith Integrated Transport Plan project team, PO Box 484, Wagga Wagga NSW 2650.

We are investigating improvements to the transport network in and around Griffith, to create a more efficient transport system for the future that meets the needs of our customers. This forms part of our long-term commitment to provide safe, efficient and reliable journeys through Griffith while maintaining the character and amenity in the town centre.

The study area includes Griffith as well as neighbouring towns to show connections into and out of this area, as indicated on the interactive mapping tool.

Griffith. This focus includes road safety, active transport connectivity, on-street parking, delays in peak periods, public transport availability and the future transport needs of our customers.

This investigation aims to identify options to:
•    reduce travel times
•    improve road safety
•    improve pedestrian and cycling connectivity
•    maintain amenity of the town centre
•    guide transport planning decisions over the next 10 years.

Feedback and suggestions about changes or improvements to public transport will be considered as part of the consultation. Your feedback will help inform future transport solutions and will build on the 16 Cities consultation carried out in 2022.

We will work closely with Griffith City Council and key stakeholders to consider opportunities to encourage walking and cycling in the area to help reduce the demand for car trips.

All feedback has been summarised and carefully considered by our project team. It will help inform future planning and priorities.We will keep you updated as planning progresses.
