Intermethod, in partnership with AECOM, SCT Consulting and Beca developed Road Network Plans for the following eleven corridors in Sydney:
- Oxford St (2017)
- Concord to Drummoyne (2018)
- Ashfield to Rozelle (2018)
- Three Northern Sydney corridors (2018-2019)
- Three Northern Beaches corridors (2018-2019)
- Ashfield to Punchbowl (2019)
Road Network Plans are a part of a suite of supporting plans that deliver the NSW Government’s Future Transport Strategy 2056. In developing the Road Network Plans for each corridor, Intermethodc (in partnership with other consultants):
- assessed current usage patterns and performance of the existing road and transport infrastructure against agreed performance benchmarks
- applied the Movement and Place methodology outlined in the NSW Network Planning Framework to prioritise the relative importance of road users along the corridor
- looked forward to the future to identify changes in land use, travel behaviour and patterns, transport infrastructure, employment and population growth to understand the things that may give rise to a change in the classification of the corridor and its segments
- established a vision and objectives for the corridor, in consultation with the key stakeholders
- identified opportunities for corridor development that will deliver outcomes identified in the Future Transport Strategy 2056 and Greater Sydney Region Plan.
All corridors varied in length between 6 and 24 kilometres and were further divided into segments of between 0.7 to 2 kilometres in length. The performance was established for each segment on the basis of multi-criteria analysis and strategic corridor designation. Comprehensive reports were delivered for each of the Road Network Plans, identifying performance, issues and opportunities on a segment basis, and setting the vision for the future.
