About this event

Please join AITPM in Launceston, Tasmania to hear from three presenters on reshaping mobility, the Launceston multi-modal model and transport network planning.

This event is for anyone who missed the 2022 AITPM National Conference in NSW. AITPM Tasmania will showcase three Tasmania based presenters that participated and attended the conference in July.

Topics will cover three areas ranging from reshaping mobility, the Launceston multi-modal model and transport network planning.

Speakers include:

• Erin Jackson, GHD
• Nick Browne, City of Launceston and Nick Veitch, VLC
• Mary Haverland, Arcadis

Presentations:

1. Thinking differently about transport network planning to unlock community benefit

Erin Jackson, Technical Director and Smart Transport Solutions Lead, GHD

How confident are we as transport professionals that strategic direction is being translated all the way down to street level? Are we watering down urban initiatives to compromise for a wide range of users to avoid making difficult trade-offs in complex urban environments? How can you plan for a future network when significant land use decisions are yet to be understood?

This presentation explores the complexity of our urban transport systems and the challenges with delivering local transport transformation projects and ensuring that operations align with overarching strategy. The presentation draws on current investigations being undertaken by the presenter and GHD team into why urban transport programs are failing to deliver on strategic visions and why some projects aren't progressing at all.

The presentation will explore the strategies available to us that work together to enable a successful outcome. Given the complexity of the issue, it's not a surprise that the solution equally needs an intricate, personalised and collaborative process. As practitioners, we need to embrace the diverse needs and interrelated systems underpinning our communities and require a fully stocked toolkit aimed at providing decision-making clarity, resolving misalignment between stakeholders and ultimately creating a pathway for implementation.

2. Launceston Multi-modal Model (LMM) – a forecasting tool for strategic policy and infrastructure assessment

Nick Browne, Team Leader Roads & Traffic, City of Launceston and Nick Veitch, Managing Director, VLC

The City of Launceston commissioned Veitch Lister Consulting (VLC) to develop a multi-modal strategic transport model of Greater Launceston as part of the City of Launceston Smart Mobility Project. The model (Launceston Multi-modal Model) fills a current gap in the tools available for strategic policy and infrastructure interventions assessment. The model developed is based on VLC’s Zenith modelling framework, which allowed for a cost-effective development of a comprehensive multi-modal strategic modelling framework for Launceston. The model has since been used on city projects to consider the impacts of future infrastructure and development. Nick Browne (City of Launceston) and Nick Veitch (VLC) will talk about the model’s development, its application, and potential future applications.

3. Mobility for resilient cities

Mary Haverland, Senior Technical Director – Transport Planning & Advisory, Arcadis

Mary will explore how we can reshape mobility and create resilient cities by stepping beyond ‘predict and provide’ planning, recognising the dual role of roads and streets for transport operations and as public spaces using Movement and Place Frameworks, and the use of people data as our evidence base for decisions.

Following the presentations, please join us in networking with likeminded professionals in the industry with food and beverages available.
