Transport Corridor Planning and Design - The Local Government Perspective | Tuesday 8 October 2025
The City of Moreton Bay is one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions, with its population forecast to rise from 525,000 to nearly 800,000 by 2046. To manage this growth, Council has adopted a corridor-based approach to transport planning, design, and delivery.
In this insightful Lunch Bites session, Jon Dare-Williams, Manager of Integrated Transport Planning and Design at the City of Moreton Bay, shared how Council is embracing the challenges and opportunities that come with this new approach — from strengthening internal systems and building staff capability, to managing contributed assets, implementing Movement and Place principles, and collaborating effectively with consultants.
Facilitated by Kirsty Kelly, CEO of the Transport Professionals Association, the discussion provided valuable perspectives for local government professionals navigating similar transitions in transport planning and delivery.
