How we got here and what's next

The Draft SRITP for the Illawarra Shoalhaven 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 early engagement in late 2024 and early 2025.

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

There are seven objectives of the Illawarra Shoalhaven Draft Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan.
