About the Hunter Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan
In the Hunter, we are paving the way for a transport system that reflects the unique character and needs of the region.
The Draft Hunter Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan (Draft Plan) was released for public exhibition on Monday 16 December, 2024 and was open for review and feedback until Friday 28 February 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.
In the development of the Draft Plan, Transport considered and evaluated the diverse and changing transport needs of the distinct subregions and local government areas, guiding coordinated solutions to support the specific needs of these communities. Furthermore, The Draft Plan complements work being done by all levels of government to efficiently respond to anticipated changes in land use, demographics, and travel demand across the Hunter.
The Draft Plan is outcomes focused and identifies priority actions and initiatives we can take to deliver better transport policies, services, and infrastructure for our growing communities. Actions and initiatives will provide staged timing for the planning of service or infrastructure projects, offering greater assurance around short to medium-term transport priorities.

How we got here and what's next
The Draft SRITP for the Hunter builds on the extensive work already carried out on the former Regional Transport Plan, and incorporates input received from key stakeholders and the community during 2024.
Several key themes emerged from this early engagement and helped inform the SRITP’s objectives. These objectives support how we will achieve the strategic transport vision for the Hunter.
View the Early Engagement Report to find out what we have heard.
There are seven objectives of the Hunter Draft Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan.
Starting with Country and Closing the Gap
All investment in the transport network, services, policy and technology take a Country-centred approach.
Access to transport for all
A transport network that provides a range of travel choices to all people living, working in, or visiting the Hunter region.
Well located housing and successful places
Support the delivery of housing and successful places through sustainable transport options to address growth in the Hunter.
A thriving and diversifying economy
Provide an efficient transport network to support a diversifying and growing economy including tourism, freight movements and enabling renewable energy zones.
A safe transport network
Reduce fatal and serious injuries on the transport network and address safety concerns for public transport passengers.
Resilient networks
Reduce the impact of transport network shocks and stresses to service and network interruptions and proactively plan for future impacts.
Net Zero Emissions

A list of more than 50 actions and initiatives have been identified 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. The initiatives can be viewed at the back of the Draft Plan, or you can comment on them in the survey.
Feedback received during public consultation will be reviewed and a consultation summary report will be prepared and published. Feedback will also be considered to further refine the Draft Plan, with the final Plan expected to be delivered in 2025.
