Our key artifacts are the suite of Victoria's Modal Plans. Our division drives the planning for the network from the long term through to handover into delivery for all transport users. We use evidence to underpin our decisions and to provide robust, expert advice to our colleagues in Network Design and Integration and Policy, Precincts and Innovation, as well as our partners across DTP - principally Transport Services and to our Ministers. We support the Big Build by delivering specifications for service that enable projects to design and deliver infrastructure that's fit for purpose and delivers simple, safe, connected journeys.

Victoria is excited to be confirmed as hosts of the 2026 Commonwealth Games. In a Commonwealth Games first, Victoria 2026 will introduce a new multi-city model, bringing global sport to five regional hubs: Geelong, Bendigo, Ballarat, Gippsland, and Shepparton. Each hub will have its own athlete and technical official village, and together they will deliver a multi-sport programme in world-class regional sporting venues.

Hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games will create a legacy for Victoria that extends well beyond the competition period. This will include significant investment in community infrastructure in regional Victoria, including transport and world-class sporting facilities.

**About the Role**

Each Games venue will need a transport plan for each event. The Commonwealth Games Transport Planner will support the development of a Games Transport Operations Plan in collaboration with stakeholders across DTP.
