Council endorses Moving Mitcham – Your Integrated Transport Plan

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Moving Mitcham community engagement process. Your feedback has helped shape Council’s approach to planning for a safer, more connected and sustainable transport network across our city.

At its recent meeting on 12 May 2026, Council reviewed the outcomes of the community engagement process, as outlined in the Council report and supporting materials. These insights reflect what the community told us about how they move around Mitcham and what matters most when planning for the future.

Based on community feedback, Council endorsed the Moving Mitcham – Your Integrated Transport Plan as its strategic framework for integrated transport planning.

Endorsing the Plan does not commit Council to funding or delivering specific projects at this stage. Any new projects identified through the Plan will be considered separately and will be subject to future Council decisions and budget approvals.

What happens next?

The Moving Mitcham Plan will guide future conversations, investigations and decision‑making about transport across the City of Mitcham. Opportunities for further community input will be shared as individual projects or initiatives are proposed.

This includes the draft Cycling Plan, a key initiative of the Moving Mitcham Plan that was also endorsed at this meeting for further community consultation. Please ensure you are registered to Your Say Mitcham to receive further updates about when we are inviting feedback.

Background

We have developed a draft Integrated Transport Plan called Moving Mitcham to guide future investment in the transport network to address existing and emerging transport challenges.

Your feedback will guide our priorities and help ensure the final plan reflects your needs and expectations.

The aim of Moving Mitcham includes the following key components:

  • A practical plan with objectives, strategies and actions
  • A plan with actions across six focus areas
  • Integrated, accessible and safe transport systems for all modes
  • A balance between economic, social and environmental outcomes

Moving Mitcham contributes to the achievement of the ‘Accessible, Healthy & Connected Community’ goal of Mitcham 2030, however, it will also play an important role in achieving the objectives of the ‘Sustainable City’ and ‘Dynamic & Prosperous Places’ goals. Mitcham 2030 aims to minimise the Council’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and maximise the uptake of clean and renewable energy technologies.

Given transport is the second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in South Australia (and accounts for approximately 19% of SA’s GHG emissions), the actions and strategies within this Integrated Transport Plan will have an important role in achieving this objective and actively aim to achieve a reduction in GHG emissions.
