Get a move on! A landmark report to get Perth moving

This report is the combined outcome of ten individual research projects undertaken over a 12 month period. This has included a survey of 2,000 commuters; interviews with 40 major businesses representing 100,000 commuters; the findings of on-the-ground study tours; and desktop research to examine commuting and the co-dependent relationship between land use, transport and economic development. Get a Move On! establishes that commuter movements and mode choice are impacted by: 1. Live and work locations; 2. The distance that people travel; 3. Employment requirements; 4. The match between the skills of local residents and the skill-requirements of sub-regional employers; and 5. The convenience and cost of driving to specific locations. The project illustrates that movement in Perth and Peel is inextricably linked with economic development, employment locations and urban form and that this relationship is two-way with economic development, productivity and residential development and also strongly influenced by ease of movement to specific locations. Get a Move On! confirms that in Perth and Peel, the Central sub-region is the most accessible by road and public transport. A majority of employment is located within the Central sub-region and consequently commuters primarily travel from middle and outer suburban locations to inner employment destinations for work. Get a Move On! has 13 major findings and makes 10 recommendations with 33 actions which aim to deliver a new integrated approach to planning for the economy, land use and transport in Perth and Peel over the next 20 years. It proposes a new integrated hierarchy of employment centres in the region, informed by the capacity of individual locations to accommodate knowledge based employment and high-density residential uses, as well as their level of road reliance and future capacity to attract high frequency public transport users.
