Public invited to have their say on SA’s transport strategy
The South Australian government is mapping a bold vision for three decades of transport evolution and is inviting the public to share their ideas and feedback.
The future of how South Australians move across the state is taking shape, with the state government launching a public consultation on SA’s Transport Strategy to help chart the next 30 years of transport development.
As part of this transformative process, South Australians are being invited to share their ideas through innovative virtual reality experiences and a survey, ensuring the state’s Transport Strategy reflects the real needs and aspirations of its communities.
This comprehensive initiative seeks to revolutionise the movement of both people and goods throughout South Australia, touching everything from daily commutes to essential supply chains.
The government has set a deadline of December 16 for survey submissions, emphasising the importance of community input in shaping a transport network that serves everyone’s needs.
At the heart of this initiative lies a recognition that transport systems form the backbone of daily life in South Australia.
From ensuring fresh food reaches local supermarkets to connecting families during holiday seasons, the transport network influences every aspect of residents’ lives.

South Australia is currently navigating through significant transitions, shaped by global trends, state-level priorities and evolving community preferences.
These changes are reshaping the state’s economic landscape, community structures and environmental considerations, making the development of a robust transport strategy particularly timely.
The strategy’s significance extends beyond infrastructure planning.
It represents a blueprint for fostering social connectivity, driving economic growth and ensuring environmental sustainability across South Australia.
By enhancing mobility throughout cities and regions, the strategy aims to expand access to essential services and opportunities, ultimately allowing residents to make better use of their time and resources.
Looking ahead to 2054, SA’s Transport Strategy seeks to create a legacy that will benefit not only current residents but also future generations of South Australians.
This forward-thinking approach acknowledges that decisions made today will shape the state’s prosperity and liveability for decades to come.
The consultation process includes cutting-edge virtual reality experiences, allowing South Australians to visualise potential transport futures firsthand.
These live VR installations, stationed at various locations across the state, offer immediate opportunities for public feedback and interaction.
The inclusive approach seeks input from a diverse range of stakeholders, including local councils, businesses and community groups, ensuring the final strategy represents a collective vision for the state’s transport future.
The consultation process acknowledges that those who use the transport system daily are best positioned to identify its current challenges and future needs.
This participatory approach recognises that effective transport planning must balance various competing priorities: economic growth, environmental sustainability, social inclusion and technological advancement.
By involving the community in these crucial discussions, the government aims to develop a strategy that not only meets current needs but also anticipates future challenges and opportunities.
Members of the public who would like to have their say in this vital planning process can complete the survey or participate in VR experiences at locations across Adelaide.
Importantly, the VR experience will also be available in the regions, which are key to the state’s green future, agricultural and primary industries, and population growth.
This public consultation will help shape a transport future that serves all South Australians, creating a legacy of mobility, accessibility and prosperity that extends well into the middle of this century.
