Improving the overall public transport customer experience will meet the needs of users who want to blend regional resettlement with occasional travel to Sydney, Melbourne or another city.25
To achieve these outcomes, along with continued investment in maintaining safe local road networks there should be more public transport and active travel choices for regional communities. These will connect to improved regional services for a more reliable end-to-end Journey to a Fast-growing City.
Just like people in larger cities, regional users will then be able to travel without relying on driving for all journeys.
For more information on the connectivity of Smaller Cities and Regional Centres to Fast-growing Cities refer to the Place-based outcomes for communities chapter. This includes information on the important role for the Australian Government in facilitating connectivity across state or territory borders, such as between Adelaide and Melbourne.
