What is a Local Area Mobility Plan?

Local Area Mobility Plans (LAMPs) aim to identify a network of connected, safe and convenient walking and cycling routes to and from common destinations within a neighbourhood. These destinations include schools, shopping precincts, major parks and recreation areas, and frequent bus stops.

The focus of the Local Area Mobility Plans are different for each neighbourhood, to meet the unique community needs and future transport network requirements.

The Plans identify key streets to be included within the major works planning and delivery over the next 10 years.

They make suggestions for the types of investment that could better support walking and cycling in these streets such as:

  • wider footpaths
  • kerb ramps
  • safer pedestrian crossings
  • traffic calming measures
  • street trees and seating
  • bike lanes and connected cycleways
  • on-street parking changes

The actions identified in the plans will require further planning, community consultation and detailed design before they can be implemented.
