The fundamental purpose of this Transport Asset Management Plan (TAMP) is to improve the City’s long- term strategic management of its transport network in order to cater for the community’s desired levels of service in the future.

The City controls a significant number of roads with traffic volumes in excess of 20,000 vehicles per day.
