Whether you walk, cycle, drive, catch public transport or use a combination of travel options, the City of Vincent wants to understand your everyday journeys.

The City is asking community members to share how they travel as it develops a new Integrated Transport Strategy 2026–2036, building on work already underway to improve road safety, traffic management and transport choices.

The new strategy will replace the Accessible City Strategy 2020-2030, which was the first long-term plan for movement across Vincent.  

It will help guide future investment and decision-making around how roads, public transport, walking and cycling work together to support safe, connected and liveable neighbourhoods.

Through the Your Journey Survey, the City wants to understand how people travel today, what influences their choices and what could make different ways of getting around easier, safer and more appealing.

Mayor Alison Xamon said transport planning was about more than accommodating vehicles in the suburbs.

"Our streets need to do many things. These include being accessible to people with mobility needs, catering for movements of different sized vehicles including large emergency vehicles such as fire trucks, creating walking and cycling routes and ensuring neighbourhoods are liveable and safe,” said Ms Xamon.

“We need to look at the entire transport network, rather than treating traffic and road safety issues in isolation on individual streets.

“We’re already doing this through our precinct transport studies, road safety projects, speed management, parking planning and investment in walking and cycling infrastructure.

“The Integrated Transport Strategy will bring this work together and help guide where we go next.”

The City has already delivered a range of initiatives to improve how people move around Vincent, including:

• Adopted the Vincent Bike Plan 2023–2028 to guide improvements for people riding bikes.
• Introduced a 40km/h speed limit on all local access roads.
• Started precinct-wide transport studies to identify targeted improvements.
• Continued to plan and deliver road, path and intersection improvements.
• Used traffic, speed and crash data to identify road safety issues and inform future improvements.

This work reflects the City’s broader approach to transport management, improving safety and connectivity while balancing how people get to school, work, town centres and community facilities whilst also receiving critical services such as waste removal.

“We’re looking ahead to how our streets and transport network will need to improve as our population grows,” said Ms Xamon.

“Our goal is to create a safer, greener, more connected and balanced transport network that supports walking, cycling, public transport and vehicle movement now and into the future."

Community members are encouraged to take the Your Journey Survey through Imagine Vincent.

The survey closes Monday, 5 October 2026.

Feedback will be reviewed alongside technical studies and input from transport stakeholders and decision-makers.

Together, this information will help inform the development of Vincent's Integrated Transport Strategy 2026-2036.

Later this year, the community will have another opportunity to provide feedback on the draft vision, objectives and key actions through in-person drop-in sessions before the strategy is finalised.
