Green Travel Planning Services in Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Sydney

Quantum Traffic provides Green Travel Planning Consultants in Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne who create reports for use in commercial and residential development applications.  This is an excellent travel mode tool to shift focus away from private vehicles as well as a planning incentive to support car parking reductions in your development.

What is a Green Travel Plan?

A Green Travel Plan (GTP) details how a proposed development will encourage the adoption of environmentally sustainable transport options in accessing the review site.

A GTP can encompass a range of strategic initiatives, incentives and campaigns to promote transport options such as walking, cycling, public transport, riding scooters, carpooling and use of electric vehicles. This report will break down the feasibility of alternative transportation options with the writer’s specific recommendations.

Sustainable transport planning is an opportunity for developers to respond to an increasing social and political demand for alternatives to private fossil-fuel-based vehicles, informed by travel patterns and behaviours of prospective/future site users (residents, staff, visitors etc.). Done right, GTPs can establish long-term benefits for users, developers and the local community

When is a Green Travel Plan Needed?

A Green Travel Plan may be required as a condition of permit for commercial, public and residential development applications, especially where a council has an Environmentally Sustainable Development clause, guideline or objective in its Planning Scheme.

Depending on the individual council, GTPs may be required only for certain types of development, such as commercial applications or multi-residential/mixed-use developments above a specific size. In other cases, the modern shift to environmental sustainability has triggered the addition of a green ethos within the core purpose of individual development companies throughout Australia.

GTPs can be devised for many different applications, including residential developments, commercial developments, retail precincts, public facilities and more. We will tailor recommendations to the type and location of each specific development and council.
