About us

JMT Consulting

JMT Consulting was formed in 2019 to provide high quality transport planning advice to clients working in the built environment, across both the public and private sectors. We pride ourselves on providing practical and reliable advice to our clients that meet their specific requirements. Our vast experience across the transport planning industry delivers strong outcomes and shapes better places for people.

Josh Milston is responsible for all transport planning services delivered by JMT Consulting – maintaining the quality of transport and traffic solutions on major infrastructure projects in New South Wales. With more than 14 years of experience, Josh provides transport solutions that enable better connectivity and fluidity of movement of people. Josh works with planners and designers to consider the holistic transport environment, improving amenity and accessibility in and around cities, and strategically to connect town centres.

Josh has managed some of NSW’s most significant city-shaping projects over the past 10 years. Key projects where Josh has been responsible for the delivery of the transport strategy include:

  • The $1 billion (combined) redevelopment of both the Sydney Football Stadium and Stadium Australia on behalf of Infrastructure NSW.
  • The Barangaroo South precinct on behalf of Lendlease and the Barangaroo Delivery Authority – one of the largest urban renewal precincts ever undertaken in NSW with an estimated value of over $8 billion.
  • The new Sydney Fish Market site and the wider Bays Market district on behalf of Infrastructure NSW.
  • The future Powerhouse Museum in the Parramatta CBD.

In addition to project delivery, Josh is often sought out by Government and other bodies to undertake specialist peer reviews of projects to ensure that the best outcome to the people of NSW is being proposed. Examples of peer reviews undertaken by Josh include the Darling Harbour Live precinct and Ivanhoe Estate development in Macquarie Park.

Our collaborative approach and holistic thinking across all areas of planning results in solutions that prioritise the safe and efficient movement of people. We specialise in partnering with both the public and private sector to take projects from early concept/feasibility all the way through to delivery.

Key Projects


 

Waterloo Road Active Streets Master Plan

Waterloo Road Active Streets Master Plan

JMT Consulting worked with the City of Ryde Council to provide transport advice to inform the development of an active street master plan for the Waterloo Road corridor. The aspiration of the Active Street Master Plan is to facilitate the creation of a ‘vibrant street’ by providing for an environment that encourages active transport as a safe, convenient and attractive alternative to private vehicle, while also supporting access to bus stops and the two metro stations. JMT worked closely with Hassell to develop a suite of recommendations to improve access both along and across Waterloo Road, with a focus on enhancing crossing opportunities and providing for a more coherent and legible corridor.

Powerhouse Parramatta

The new Powerhouse Museum at Parramatta will be a distinctive architectural statement and is intended to become a global landmark. JMT Consulting is assisting Infrastructure NSW with the design of the building, including the preparation of a transport assessment to support the development application. This considered access for different user groups including staff, visitors, school groups and domestic/international tourists. JMT Consulting also assisted Create NSW and the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences in the development of the project brief. The study focused on defining the key transport requirements and considerations as part of the winning competition design for the new facility.

Sydney Harbour Bridge Cycleway Northern Access Project

Sydney Harbour Bridge Cycleway Northern Access Project

Working alongside Transport for NSW, Josh was part of the design team that were ultimately successful in the design competition for a bike ramp at the northern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge Cycleway.

Walsh Bay Arts Precinct

Walsh Bay Arts Precinct

JMT Consulting provided assistance to Create NSW, Sydney Theatre Company and Infrastructure NSW on the Walsh Bay Arts precinct through the preparation of an operational transport management plan.

Sydney Football Stadium Redevelopment

JMT Consulting is working with Infrastructure NSW and Venues NSW to deliver a new 45,000 seated stadium at Moore Park. JMT Consulting is leading the transport strategy for the proposal.

Former Manly Hospital Site Master Plan

Former Manly Hospital Site Master Plan

JMT Consulting is currently working with Property NSW on the development of a Planning Proposal for the former Manly Hospital site. The study is considering the traffic and transport implications of a number of uses for the site, particularly recommendations around parking and site access points. JMT is working closely with the appointed urban designer to facilitate a more legible internal road network that provides for improved connections to existing pedestrian pathways as well as bus stops on Darley Road.

Balmain Leagues Club

Balmain Leagues Club

Josh Milston has been involved in the Balmain Leagues Club site since 2007, reviewing all development proposals that have been put forward for the site. In 2020 JMT Consulting was engaged by Heworth Holdings Group to undertake a peer review of the transport assessment undertaken for the site. A key component of this engagement included facilitating discussions with Inner West Council and Transport for NSW (TfNSW) in relation to the proposed site access arrangements and parking provision. Josh also made representations to the Sydney Eastern Planning Panel on behalf of the client.

South West Sydney Communities and Justice Precinct

South West Sydney Communities and Justice Precinct

University of New South Wales Health Translation Hub

University of New South Wales Health Translation Hub

JMT Consulting prepared a transport impact assessment to support the development of the UNSW Health Translation Hub (HTH) building. The HTH building sits within the broader Randwick Health and Innovation Precinct and as such a key aspect of the work undertaken by JMT was to consider the interdependencies between the various uses within the vicinity of the site. JMT worked closely with the appointed architects to develop an access strategy that prioritised the movement of pedestrians whilst also facilitating efficient access to the buildings for drop off and servicing.
