PlanningxChange Episode 89, features Peter Malley. Peter is a traffic and transport engineer with over 17 years' experience consulting to numerous private and government clients in Victoria and NSW. Peter has a passion for master planning and large-scale developments where he applies a holistic transport planning approach. He has contributed expert advice to a range of significant projects including town centres, residential subdivisions, mixed-use developments, healthcare and educational facilities. Peter works closely with clients, applying a proactive and personal touch to achieve successful and innovative responses. When designing a transport system, Peter believes it’s important to consider not only private vehicle use, but public transport options, bicycle accessibility and pedestrian amenity to cater to user diversity. Peter was involved in a serious bicycle accident in 2020 that left him a paraplegic and his disability has offered him a unique understanding of the way transport planning affects the movement of people. He looks forward to recommencing his career after a twelve-month recovery period, applying his insights to future projects, and he has already started training to get back on some sort of bicycle. When Peter had his cycling accident and began rehabilitation at the Spinal Injury Unit at the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre, he realised there was limited rehabilitation opportunities to help patients get back on a bike. Spinal injury patients who are able to regain some use of their legs require customised equipment, like a recumbent trike, but unfortunately this equipment is highly customised and expensive. To raise funds to allow the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre to provide this rehabilitation program Peter organised a fund raising bike ride and GoFundMe campaign where he has raised a total of over $6,000.
