All Aboard Auburn is an initiative of the town of Auburn which will heavily restrict the operation and storage of private automobiles within the town. It was introduced on 10th February 2024.
Under the scheme, only vehicles required for individuals with mobility needs as well as those making intercity deliveries and service vehicles will be permitted. Transport within the town will be facilitated by Auburn Underground services, with intercity transport provided by third-party rail, ferry, and air services. Upon the completion of Auburn's connection to the New World Highway System, the nearby Auburn Airport car parks will close and reopen with new functions. The central car parks located inside the Airport Way loop will serve commuters needing to travel to Auburn by car from another town or city while the accessible car park near the airport tube station will provide car share services for travel out of Auburn.
Phases
Phase I
Phase I, which is effective beginning 1st March 2024, will ban the operation and storage of private automobiles in the Bascule, Civic Centre, and Observatory districts. These districts have completed connections to the Auburn Underground, which will allow for travel within and between these districts.
Phase II
Phase II will go into effect once Delta Park station on the District line is completed. Under this phase, automobiles will additionally be restricted in the Aviation district.
Phase III
After Auburn's highway connection opens, phase III will allow the selective operation of automobiles in the Aviation district. Automobiles will be restricted to travelling between the highway connection and the commuter car parks or car share facility at Auburn Airport.
Phase IV
Phase IV will guide the development of the Peninsula district to be the first and only district of Auburn constructed to be car-free from its establishment. Auburn Underground Metropolitan line services will be extended to serve the district as it is constructed.
