Department of Transport and Planning - Strategic Plan

Thriving places and connected communities

Our Strategic Plan brings together the Department of Transport and Planning’s vision, purpose and mission across six focus areas, consistent with Government objectives, priorities and budget decisions. Our vision of thriving places and connected communities will help us better realise local economic and community opportunities for more liveable communities across Victoria.

We enable Victorian communities to better connect with one another and the services that are expected of contemporary metropolitan and regional cities. We bring together transport, planning, land, precinct and policy functions within a single department to create thriving places and connected communities.

Together with our portfolio agencies, we are responsible for planning, building, operating, and maintaining Victoria’s transport, planning and land services for use by all.

We’re planning, building, operating, and maintaining systems that achieve safe, sustainable and integrated transport and land use outcomes for Victorians, both now and into the future.

Our priorities

We are here to:

Integrate Victoria’s transport, land and planning system to create an inclusive, successful, and sustainable state.
Plan, build and operate a transport network that keeps people and freight moving now and into the future.
Manage precinct and policy, land, planning, building and heritage systems to shape places and communities.
Understand the social, economic, and physical needs of communities so that we can develop meaningful connections and thriving local places.
Oversee the delivery of the major transport infrastructure program to build a better transport future for Victoria.
