Note: Under
Standing Order 1.8.6, Cr D Newman requested his dissenting vote be recorded against
the Integrated Transport Plan (ITP) recommendations i) and ii) in Attachment
B for the following reasons:
·
fails to sufficiently acknowledge the significant economic
benefits for the Roads of National Significance (RONS), including the
contribution to the resilience of transport and stormwater infrastructure;
·
appears to close the door to discussion about the opportunity to
advance bespoke transport solutions that encourage multi-modal outcomes such
as a bus priority corridor, carpooling, and cycling (if grade separation
exists within the corridor); and
·
makes no reference to the settled Notice of Requirement (NoR)
processes, which have been undertaken to date.
