The Transport Integration Act 2010: Driving Integrated and Sustainable Transport Outcomes through Legislation

This paper describes how the Transport Integration Act 2010 (TIA) is Victoria, Australia’s key piece of legislation in the area of transport. The Act provides an example of the use of aspirational legislation to reflect the broad policy aims of the government for integrated and sustainable transport. This paper traces the policy development process for aspirational legislation in Victoria that has taken place as part of a broader review of transport legislation. The Act locates the development of a policy framework for integrated and sustainable transport in Victoria within global and national debates regarding sustainable development. This has resulted in the inclusion of a vision, set of objectives and decision making principles for transport in the TIA reflecting an integration and sustainability policy framework. It is necessary to continue work on implementing this policy framework across transport and land use planning agencies in order to ensure that the TIA is successful in achieving its policy outcomes.
