- Project Users Group- Consult with stakeholders
- Communication Plan- Engage and inform the broader
community- Travel Demand Management
- Influence and drive change in travel behaviour
- Infrastructure- Identify opportunities to enhance/
optimise local infrastructure- Operations
- Adaptive use of infrastructure
Strategic Toolbox

Impact Assessment Framework
Develop an Impact Assessment Framework to:- Identify all users and their needs; and- Determine which travel paths must be retained and which can be adjusted during construction

Case Study – William Street Watermain Renewal
“The project was delivered under budget, ahead of schedule and with very few complaints about the necessary disruption to traffic.”
City West Water, Annual Report 2011-2012
Project User Group – Representatives from key agencies (City of Melbourne, VicRoads and Yarra Trams)
Mitigation Measures – Developed a suite of treatments based on infrastructure changes and operational changes
City Wide Modelling – ability to test measures for suitability
Communication Plan– Social media, liaison officers
