An information resource for Victorian local governments

When it comes to transport planning, let’s not ‘re-invent the wheels’. This website provides an easy way for local governments to share their documentation on a wide range of local government transport initiatives, from long-term strategies to one-off events.

This website also provides quick access to a database of Victorian Government programs and projects that support local governments in their efforts to provide better mobility for their communities. Contact details of State Government staff are provided. (This section is restricted to registered local government staff).
