About the North Coast Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan
In the North Coast, we are paving the way for a transport system that reflects the unique character and needs of the region.
The Draft North Coast Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan (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.
Have Your Say
The Draft Plan is now available for feedback, and we are inviting our communities and stakeholders to have their say on the Draft Plan and its proposed initiatives. Your feedback will help us refine the draft by understanding what is important to you and if we have missed anything.
We appreciate you may not have read the Draft Plan, so we have designed a quick survey to easily provide your feedback. You can pick which themes relate best to your concerns or ideas and tell us what you think about the initiatives we’ve identified.
Alternatively, you can upload a submission or send us feedback by emailing engage.sritps@transport.nsw.gov.au.

How we got here and what's next
The Draft Plan has 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, it complements work being done by all levels of government to efficiently respond to anticipated changes in land use, demographics, and travel demand across the North Coast region.
The Draft Plan is outcomes focused and identifies initiatives to deliver better transport policies, services, and infrastructure for our communities. Initiatives will provide staged timing for the planning of service or infrastructure projects, offering greater assurance around short to medium-term transport priorities.
The draft SRITP for the North Coast builds on the extensive work already carried out on the previous transport plans, and incorporates input received from key stakeholders and the community during 2025.
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 North Coast.

There are eight objectives of the Draft North Coast Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan.
Starting with Country and Closing the Gap
All investment in the transport network including services, policy and technology take a Country-centred approach.

A transport network that provides a range of travel choices to all people living, working in or visiting the North Coast region.
Well located housing and successful places
Support the delivery of well-located housing and successful places through sustainable transport options to address growth in the North Coast.
Seamless borders
A transport network that supports seamless movements for North Coast residents, workers and visitors travelling to and from Queensland.
A thriving and diversifying economy
Provide an efficient transport network to support a diversifying and growing economy including tourism and the movement of freight.
A safe transport network working towards zero trauma
Reduce fatal and serious injuries on the transport network and address safety concerns for people walking, riding bikes and using public transport.
Reliable and resilient networks

A list of more than 50 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 Plan, with the final Plan expected to be delivered in 2026.
