Movement and Place is a cross-cutting planning principal that that recognises streets and roads as both transport corridors and public spaces; supporting the flow of people and goods while also shaping the activity, built form and identity of places.

This webinar introduces the findings of the Austroads research project NEG6384 Movement and Place Guidance, which provides the foundation for updated and more unified Movement and Place content across the Austroads Guide to Traffic Management and related resources.

Through extensive stakeholder consultation and a review of leading national and international frameworks, the project identified gaps in current Austroads guidance. It also revealed the varied maturity levels of implementation across transport agencies in Australia and New Zealand, highlighting a critical opportunity to strengthen consistency, collaboration and innovation.

The report sets out a series of recommendations designed to update and streamline Movement and Place guidance, focusing on:

- Consistency: A shared language and core concepts across Austroads publications.
- Best Practice: Identification of proven tools and frameworks already in use.
- Clarity: Practical direction through case studies and real-world examples.

Whether you’re new to Movement and Place or working to embed it within policy, planning or project delivery, this webinar will help you understand how updated guidance can support more balanced, people-focused transport networks across the region.
