2. Objectives

The objectives of these guidelines are as follows:

  • Ensuring alignment with DTP public transport and infrastructure priorities – to ensure the proposals support DTP’s core objective of managing land and infrastructure for transport-related purposes, ensuring the land and infrastructure continue to serve public needs effectively.
  • Promoting commercial use – to encourage proposals that align with the State’s economic growth and job creation goals, while ensuring the sustainable and responsible use of land and infrastructure.
  • Maximising Value-for-Money: To ensure that the proposals represent value-for-money for the government, the community, and other stakeholders through sustainable business models, innovative technologies, and efficient delivery.
  • Protecting public access and integrity – to safeguard the public’s right to access and use of the land and infrastructure, ensuring that commercial activities do not impede their primary function or degrade their environmental and social value.
  • Compliance with legislative and policy frameworks: To ensure that all proposals meet the requirements of relevant legislation and State policies, particularly those related to environmental sustainability, climate action, public safety, and accessibility.
