comfort. In order to achieve this, local public transport services must travel between activity nodes without delays from traffic. They must also have well-lit and sheltered stops, and comfortable vehicles. The scale of the growth area offers the opportunity to plan a comprehensive local public transport system from the outset of development. This system should incorporate or be integrated with routes into central and North Geelong. Street Network Streets perform many functions. They do not merely carry traffic and provide vehicular access to adjoining properties, but also provide for most walking and cycling, and form the setting for a wide range of active and passive social interaction. These ‘other’ functions are fundamental to the health of the community and of its individuals.. Therefore, it is critical that the street network is designed to provide an appropriate balance between these various uses. The key principles for designing pedestrian-friendly streets are: ensure they are addressed by building fronts, rather than back fences, to provide an attractive edge and natural surveillance; avoid very wide roads, dominated by traffic; minimise the speed of traffic, to lessen the likelihood of pedestrians feeling unsafe when walking along them; provide frequent opportunities for pedestrians to cross; provide generous footpaths; incorporate kerbside parking, to provide a buffer between pedestrians and moving traffic; and provide large street trees, to soften the ‘hard’ appearance of the road. The width of streets can be reduced by dispersing traffic into a large number of roads, spaced evenly across the development, rather than concentrating it in a small number of very busy roads. Arterial roads There is a need for three arterial roads within the growth area: Torquay Road, Barwon Heads Road and a new road providing an east-west link between the planned Geelong Ring Road and the Bellarine Peninsula.

The primary purpose of the “east-west link” is to provide a linkage between the Geelong Ring Road and Bellarine Peninsula, thus reducing traffic in the Geelong CAA. In addition, it is intended to provide improved access into the growth area from the north (via Geelong Ring Road).
