Answer -

I am advised:

(1) Newcastle Transport proactively invited community input into the new network via the Voice of Newcastle engagement program, Social Pinpoint, social media (Facebook), direct mail and face-to-face at the Newcastle Transport Hub from 1 July 2017 to 11 September 2017.

(a) The community consultation program was designed to engage with as many people in the community as possible.

More than 600 submissions were received during this consultation process.

(2) A citizen panel was also involved in detailed planning to help refine the network and to help Newcastle Transport meet and respond to the community's needs and views.

This feedback was reviewed by the Newcastle Transport network planning team to help shape the Newcastle Transport network.
