THE Moorabool, Goldfields, and Pyrenees regions are set to benefit from state government Flexible Local Transport Solutions Program funding.<\/p>\n
In an aim to plan transport networks of the future, $60,000 is being put towards a Strategic Transport Assessment for the Moorabool, Hepburn, Pyrenees, Golden Plains and Central Goldfields shires, and the City of Ballarat.<\/p>\n
“We are working with local councils to better understand how our region can benefit from thoughtful and strategic transport planning,” Eureka MP Michaela Settle said.<\/p>\n
“This is critical as we look to the future of our communities.”<\/p>\n
The assessment is expected to create a guide around public transport and how it can have a positive effect on social communities, the economy, and housing.<\/p>\n
“This is an important initiative for Ballarat and surrounding communities, providing evidence-based solutions and helping the city meet the demands of a growing population,” said the Minister for Public and Active Transport Gabrielle Williams.<\/p>\n
FLTSP funding is allocated to local governments and community organisations for transport projects including evidence-based trials.<\/p>\n
