Last kilometre freight refers to the last leg of a product’s journey – from the supplier into a shop, cafe, office, home or other destination.
Informed by the outcomes of community consultation, the Last Kilometre Freight Plan identifies actions, to be taken by the City of Melbourne to ensure last kilometre freight is considered as our city grows and changes.
Some of the key directions in the plan include:
- Establishing current and future freight needs in local area plans.
- Considering the impact of public transport infrastructure and network changes on the function of freight.
- Encouraging freight innovations amongst local businesses and delivery industry.
- Supporting and adapting to new innovations, sharing information and maintaining clear lines of communication with our stakeholders.
- Regulating building and street design to support efficient servicing and delivery.
The plan was endorsed by the Future Melbourne Committee on 21 June 2016.
