The community will be able to have a say later this month on the transport future of Cleveland with Redland City Council endorsing the Draft Cleveland Centre Local Area Transport Plan 2025–2046 (LATP) at yesterday’s general meeting.
Redland City Mayor Jos Mitchell said the draft plan outlined a long-term vision for improving access, safety and connectivity in and through Cleveland Centre, in support of the area’s growth.
“Cleveland is one of Redlands Coast’s key commerce, lifestyle, and cultural destinations, and its continued success depends on how easy and enjoyable it is for people to get there and to move around,” the Mayor said.
“This plan sets out how we can future-proof Cleveland with better walking, cycling, and public transport connections, while still accommodating essential vehicle and disability access in a more balanced way.”
The Mayor said the LATP was developed in response to increasing transport pressures, population growth, and a desire to maintain the centre’s unique character.
The draft plan outlines what Council envisages the transport system needs to support the centre’s revitalisation over the next 20 years.
The draft plan will enter a community engagement phase from 30 June to 24 July.
The LATP aligns with Council’s Corporate Plan – Our Future Redlands, Redlands Coast Transport Strategy, and Cleveland Centre Master Plan, that collectively aim to guide sustainable urban growth while enhancing liveability.
