Have your say on transport in the Far West

Member for Barwon Roy Butler is urging people living in the Far West to provide input on the Far West Draft Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan, which Transport for NSW will deliver in 2026.


"Yes, it is a mouthful, but it aims to improve the transport network in the Far West by gathering feedback from those who face the daily transport challenges of rural and remote living," Butler said recently on his social media page.


"The feedback provided in this early phase will inform the development of the draft and help shape better transport planning across the Far West."


To find out hoe you can be involved, visit https://www.haveyoursay.nsw.gov.au/sritp/far-west


There is an interactive map, where you can pin a transport issue, idea or solution. Or, you can upload a written submission that will help shape the future of Far West Transport.


You can provide feedback through the NSW Government's "Have Your Say" portal, by using the interactive map, or by emailing [email protected]


The Far West Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan is a NSW Government plan to develop a transport system for the Far West region that fits its unique needs and supports residents' lifestyles. It's designed to gather local input to create a future transport network for the region, with a draft plan expected in early 2026.


This includes improving public transport, road networks, and connections to services and jobs, especially for rural and remote communities.  


The goal is to improve transport services, support the local economy, and ensure residents have better access to jobs, healthcare, and education. 


The plan is being developed through consultation with local communities and stakeholders to get feedback on transport issues and priorities.
