Draft Wagga Wagga Transport Plan Released

The NSW Government has released the draft Wagga Wagga Transport Plan, a strategic vision for Wagga’s future.

The Wagga Wagga Transport Plan outlines a shared pathway for how the transport network will evolve to enable the land use vision outlined in the Wagga Wagga Local Strategic Planning Statement and the Wagga Wagga Special Activation Precinct Draft Masterplan.

Committee for Wagga was disappointed to see that neither the Gobbagombalin Bridge duplication nor the alternate route / bypass have figured as a priority in the NSW Governments’ draft Transport Plan. Committee for Wagga, on behalf of our members has advocated for these important projects for many years now.

We are eager to open discussions with Transport for NSW to gain an insight as to the reasons behind these decisions.

Committee for Wagga encourages members and the community to provide feedback by:

  • By contacting Committee for Wagga

  • Providing feedback directly to the NSW Government via an online survey which closes 5pm on Friday 28 May 2021.

  • Attending a live Q&A information session on Wednesday, 12 May from 1pm, with a panel of experts to answer the community’s questions, and help community members give feedback.

  • Attending the community drop-in session on Thursday 20 May, between 5pm and 7pm at Wagga Wagga City Council’s meeting rooms where representatives of the project team will be available to provide information about the Wagga Wagga Transport Plan and answer questions.
