11 Integration of transport and land use (1) The transport system should provide for the effective integration of transport and land use and facilitate access to social and economic opportunities. (2) Without limiting the generality of subsection (1), transport and land use should be effectively integrated so as to improve accessibility and transport efficiency with a focus on— (a) maximising access to residences, employment, markets, services and recreation; (b) planning and developing the transport system more effectively; (c) reducing the need for private motor vehicle transport and the extent of travel; (d) facilitating better access to, and greater mobility within, local communities. (3) Without limiting the generality of subsection (1), the transport system and land use should be aligned, complementary and supportive and ensure that— (a) transport decisions are made having regard to the current and future impact on land use; (b) land use decisions are made having regard for the current and future development and operation of the transport system; (c) transport infrastructure and services are provided in a timely manner to support changing land use and associated transport demand. (4) Without limiting the generality of subsection (1), the transport system should improve the amenity of communities and minimise impacts of the transport system on adjacent land uses.
