A 73-year-old woman with a history of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung was referred for a follow-up metastatic bone survey. Focal extraosseous accumulation of Tc-99m MDP was identified in the right, paraspinal region, along the radiation therapy port.

The integration of land use planning and transport planning to achieve sustainable travel behaviour has been espoused as a desirable outcome for many years. Development and establishment of appropriate institutional arrangements coupled with effective policy and planning processes is a crucial component in the achievement of this desirable outcome. The merging of the Western Australian Government's planning and transport agencies in 2001 provided the catalyst for the development of this institutional model with the aim to achieve desired land use and transport integration outcomes. The model draws together principles of transport planning, land use planning, public policy and organisational behaviour. A local case study illustrates the potential for the model's application in practice. An organisational structure is suggested that employs a matrix style approach, akin to a project-based approach, drawing on the multidisciplinary skills within the planning and infrastructure portfolio, and using the full range of non-traditional resources.

The Western Australia Department for Planning and Infrastructure has initiated a unique information provision program to decrease the use of cars and increase nonmotorized transport. The program contains a component in South Perth that uses individualized marketing techniques to inform travelers about alternatives to the private automobile. Data about this program have been collected in the past 3 years, offering the opportunity to assess the program’s success. Regression analysis has been used to estimate the effect of information provision on program participants’ travel behavior for mobility and, more specifically, mode choice. Program participants, persons who agree to receive and use information, when compared with a variety of other groups consistently use the car as driver the least and appear to have increased their nonmotorized trip making. The findings here are extremely encouraging, and programs like this should be considered in other urban settings.
