Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) - Regional Victoria

Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) is a measure used in transport planning to assess how well a specific location is connected to the public transport network. The Car Parking Requirement Maps were developed using the Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) methodology. The PTAL model for Victoria is a modified version of the methodology used interstate and internationally. Developed in the United Kingdom and adapted for Victorian conditions, datasets for both the Melbourne metrpolitan region and Regional Victoria are available.

The Victorian Government’s existing interactive mapping tool VicPlan will be updated to include a ‘Car Parking Requirement Maps’ layer which can be selected to view which Category applies to a site. This tool can be used alongside the CPR maps to determine applicable car parking requirements.
