Transport Pillar
The G21 Transport Pillar supports efforts to:
- Grow the region’s reputation, capability and capacity as the leading transport hub for south east Australia
- Improve community and visitor access to services, educational and vocational opportunities and lifestyle activities
- Improve the amenity and safety of transport infrastructure, and reduce the environmental impact of transport activity.
