The event is an invitation only meeting not an invitation to all members of the public, anyone that is a member of a transport advocacy group is invited within Blacktown Local Government Area.
I am still a member of Mount Druitt Commuters Improvement Group Inc. and from next year I will ask if I can be representing whyilovemountdruitt.blogspot.com? I have asked Council to invite the Secretary of the group, who can give a report of the group within the last year.
The Blacktown Public Transport Forum is important for Local Government Area's to have as it discusses the issues and improvements required current and for the future. I will report back to you in relation to this vital and important Forum.
I thank Council for showing keen interest in Public Transport.
Public Transport Forum 2014
This Forum was
established in response to the need to have an ongoing structure
through which public transport improvements in the Blacktown City Local
Government Area can be co-operatively and effectively
achieved.
The Forum has the following key objectives:
·
Act
as a forum for exchange of information on local and state public
transport matters between transport operators, community groups and
relevant agencies.
·
Identify and consider the needs of the community with regard to public transport services and facilities.
·
Facilitate and encourage improvements to the level of public transport services.
·
Provide information and encourage input on Council's forward planning and activities in relation to public transport issues.
·
Initiate
and facilitate projects as recommended by the forum and approved by
Council. Sub groups be formed to deal with more complex issues that will
require
additional research and investigation.
·
With
the assistance of Council, WSROC and any other supporting transport
advocate group, lobby relevant authorities for alterations or amendments
to Policy,
Guidelines and Legislation. (Federal Government, State Government,
Local Government Association).
