Leichhardt’s Integrated Transport Strategy

Leichhardt Council is developing a new Transport Strategy to set the framework for integrating Transport, Land Use and our Community over the next 10 years.

We’re starting with 3 Community Workshops where you’ll be asked to tell us about your experiences and to suggest how we could work together to improve things. Each of these workshop will run from 6.30pm until 8.00pm:
• Tuesday 12th October: Annandale Town Hall [Neighbourhood Centre], 79 Johnston Street Annandale
• Wednesday 13th October: Balmain Town Hall
• Tuesday 9 November: Leichhardt Town Hall
