About the Central Coast Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan

On the Central Coast, we are paving the way for a transport system that reflects the unique character and needs of the region.

The Draft Central Coast Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan (Draft Plan) has been released for public exhibition, open for review and feedback until Sunday 27 July, 2025.

The Draft Plan provides a 20-year vision and defines the key transport priorities for the region to support community, land use and transport needs, now and into the future.

The Draft Plan is outcomes focused with a list of more than 45 actions and initiatives to respond to the objectives and challenges of the region. These initiatives are a mixture of small and large infrastructure projects, programs, service improvements, and policy changes – in the short, medium or long term.

Have Your Say

We are now inviting the community and stakeholders to have their say on the Draft Plan and initiatives. Feedback will help us refine the Plan by understanding what is most important to you and help guide decision-making about investments in future transport services and infrastructure across the region.

If you live, work or play in the Central Coast we want to hear from you! We appreciate that you may not have read the plan, so we have designed a quick survey to easily provide feedback on the key themes. You can pick which themes relate best to your concerns or ideas and tell us what you think about the challenges and initiatives we’ve identified for each theme.

Alternatively, you can upload a submission or send us feedback by emailing engage.sritps@transport.nsw.gov.au.

Feedback closes Sunday 27 July, 2025.

How we got here and what's next

The Draft SRITP for the Central Coast builds on the extensive work already carried out on the former Regional Transport Plan, and incorporates input received from key stakeholders and the community in late 2024 and early 2025.

Several key themes emerged from this early engagement and helped inform the SRITP’s objectives, challenges, opportunities and initiatives. The initiatives demonstrate how we will achieve the strategic transport vision for the Central Coast.
