Thursday, 14 July 2011 14 Jul 2011 Estimates—Main Roads and Marine Infrastructure 1 THURSDAY, 14 JULY 2011 Legislative Assembly ESTIMATES—TRANSPORT, LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE—MAIN ROADS AND MARINE INFRASTRUCTURE Estimates Committee Members Estimates—Main Roads and Marine Infrastructure Mr ER Moorhead (Chair) Mr SA Emerson Mr DF Gibson Ms M O’Neill Dr MA Robinson Ms ECM van Litsenburg In Attendance Hon. CA Wallace, Minister for Main Roads, Fisheries and Marine Infrastructure Ms C Meshios, Principal Adviser Department of Transport and Main Roads Mr D Stewart, Director-General Mr M Cridland, Associate Director-General Maritime Safety Queensland Capt. P Quirk, General Manager Gladstone Ports Corporation Mr L Zussino, Chief Executive Officer Far North Queensland Ports Corporation Mr C Boland, Chief Executive Officer North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation Mr J Stewart-Harris, Chief Executive Officer (Acting) Port of Townsville Limited Ms R Crosby, Chief Executive Officer (Acting) Committee met at 9.03 am CHAIR: Good morning. I call the meeting to order. I declare the estimates hearing of the Transport, Local Government and Infrastructure Committee now open. On behalf of the committee, I welcome to the hearing the minister, the officers of the department and related entities, and members of the public. My name is Evan Moorhead and I am the member for Waterford and chair of the committee. Mr David Gibson, the member for Gympie, is the deputy chair. The other members of the committee are: Mr Scott Emerson, the member for Indooroopilly; Ms Mary-Anne O’Neill, the member for Kallangur; Dr Mark Robinson, the member for Cleveland; and Ms Lillian van Litsenburg, the member for Redcliffe. The committee will examine the Appropriation Bill 2011 and the portfolio estimates within the committee’s areas of responsibility—namely, Transport, Main Roads, Marine Infrastructure, Infrastructure, Local Government and the Building Industry. The committee will examine the estimates in the order set out in the published hearing schedule. 2 Estimates—Main Roads and Marine Infrastructure 14 Jul 2011 The committee will suspend proceedings for the following breaks: 11.00 am to 11.30 am, 1.00 pm to 2.00 pm and 4.15 pm to 4.45 pm. The proceedings today are lawful proceedings and are subject to the standing rules and orders of the Queensland parliament. As such, I remind all visitors that any person admitted to this hearing may be excluded in accordance with standing order 208. In relation to the media coverage of the hearing, the committee has resolved to allow television film coverage and photography at all times during the hearing in accordance with the media broadcasting rules to the extent that they apply to estimates proceedings. The committee has also resolved that non-committee members be given leave to attend and ask questions during the hearing. Before we begin, I ask that mobile phones and pagers be switched off. Also, I should remind you that food and drink is not permitted in the chamber. I also remind people sitting near microphones to please not play with lolly wrappers as that ruins the audio coverage by the ABC. Changes to the standing orders and rules of the Legislative Assembly have removed the strict time limits for questions and answers during an estimates hearing. This will ensure that exploration of relevant issues is not artificially curtailed by time limits and that questions on a particular issue can continue if appropriate. However, it is important that questions and answers remain relevant and succinct. I intend to guide proceedings today so that relevant issues can be explored without imposing artificial time limits and to ensure there is adequate opportunity to address questions from government and non-government members of the committee. Where necessary, I will remind ministers and their departmental advisers that their answer to a question should be finalised so that other issues can be examined. The first item for consideration is the estimates for the Main Roads organisational unit within the portfolio of the Minister for Main Roads, Fisheries and Marine Infrastructure. We will examine the estimates in relation to Main Roads until 11.00 am. Following a break, we will resume at 11.30 am to examine the Marine Infrastructure organisational unit within the portfolio of the minister. This will conclude at 12.15 pm. For the benefit of Hansard, I ask departmental officers, if you are called to give an answer, to please state your name before speaking. I now declare the proposed expenditure for the organisational unit of Main Roads open for examination. The time allocated is two hours. The question before the committee is— That the proposed expenditure be agreed to. Minister, can you please provide the committee with some highlights of the operation of your portfolio in the state budget? Mr GIBSON: A point of order. CHAIR: Do you dissent from that? Mr GIBSON: There is a standing resolution of the committee which was passed. The vote was that no minister would be given the opportunity to make an open ministerial statement. CHAIR: We can adjourn in private to discuss this matter. I am not asking the minister to make a ministerial statement. I am asking a question. Mr EMERSON: Mr Chair, I indicate that I would have thought that your question is really just an example of a way to give the minister a chance to make an opening statement. The committee has voted not to allow the ministers to make opening statements. Clearly, in my view, your question is really masquerading to allow those ministers to make a statement. CHAIR: If you are calling into question whether my question is in order we will have to deliberate in private. We will adjourn to deliberate in private. Proceedings suspended from 9.08 am to 9.23 am CHAIR: I call the meeting to order. The committee has had some deliberations, and I will ask that question in a different way. Minister, I refer to page 2-117 of the SDS for Main Roads and the strategic issues and highlights that are reported in the portfolio statements. Is there any supplementary information you can provide on the strategic issues and highlights in terms of the committee’s deliberations of the Appropriations Bill before it? Mr WALLACE: Thank you, Mr Chair. I thank the committee members for their attendance this morning. I can bring the committee up to date with that. The statistics speak for themselves. We had a summer of natural disasters. During the height of it, a total of 9,170 kilometres of roads, or 28 per cent of our road network, were damaged or underwater. To put that in perspective, it would be a distance from here to Beijing and back that was affected by that weather event. Eighty-nine bridges and culverts were washed away or broken, 11 ports were closed, 161 maritime aids were damaged, and almost one-third of our rail network was hit. But, being Queenslanders, just like the State of Origin last week, once we get knocked down we get up again. We have estimated that 80 per cent of the state’s rebuilding effort will be spent on roads, making them safer, stronger and more resilient than before. Importantly, $1.4 billion has been budgeted for this year’s reconstruction works, showing the big budget we have ahead for all of us at Main Roads to get our roads up and running again. Projects are being funded under the joint NDRRA funding through the federal government, which is providing 75 per 14 Jul 2011 Estimates—Main Roads and Marine Infrastructure 3 cent of the funding and of course 25 per cent from the state. State-wide, importantly, these NDRRA works will sustain about 14,000 jobs, with many projects sourced from local workers. That is important, especially in regional Queensland, where a lot of our roadworks help sustain workforces right across the state. There is good news today. I can announce that around 1,200 jobs will be created through the $370 million for NDRRA roadworks that will be spent between Cairns and Rockhampton on the Bruce Highway alone. This is good news for the Bruce Highway, good news for those sections of that road that were affected by those rainfall events. Over the next three years we will be repairing about 116 sites on the Bruce between Cairns and Rockhampton. That is really good news for anyone driving that section of road. On top of this we are upgrading the state’s highways, with $3.3 billion in state-federal funding for our highways, including the Warrego, Bruce and New England highways and the Ipswich and Pacific motorways. Of course, safety remains our priority with a welcome addition of $66 million for 92 projects under the our Safer Roads Sooner program. So, just to sum up, we have a big program ahead for Main Roads. We were very badly hit during the summer. There was not a time during that period when I did not look at our roads and did not inspect those roads and see the tremendous damage that occurred. I want to thank my department. I want to thank my director-general and my senior staff especially who worked very, very hard during that summer rainfall event, that summer of woe, to keep our roads open as best we could and, more importantly, to keep them as safe as we could. I look forward to the hearing today. CHAIR: Thank you, Minister. I call the member for Cleveland. Dr ROBINSON: I have a series of questions that I want to ask the main roads minister around the area of the state controlled road network funding cuts in real terms.

  • Connecting SEQ 2031 an Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland
    Connecting SEQ 2031 An Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland Tomorrow’s Queensland: strong, green, smart, healthy and fair Queensland AUSTRALIA south-east Queensland 1 Foreword Vision for a sustainable transport system As south-east Queensland's population continues to grow, we need a transport system that will foster our economic prosperity, sustainability and quality of life into the future. It is clear that road traffic cannot continue to grow at current rates without significant environmental and economic impacts on our communities. Connecting SEQ 2031 – An Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland is the Queensland Government's vision for meeting the transport challenge over the next 20 years. Its purpose is to provide a coherent guide to all levels of government in making transport policy and investment decisions. Land use planning and transport planning go hand in hand, so Connecting SEQ 2031 is designed to work in partnership with the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009–2031 and the Queensland Government's new Queensland Infrastructure Plan. By planning for and managing growth within the existing urban footprint, we can create higher density communities and move people around more easily – whether by car, bus, train, ferry or by walking and cycling. To achieve this, our travel patterns need to fundamentally change by: • doubling the share of active transport (such as walking and cycling) from 10% to 20% of all trips • doubling the share of public transport from 7% to 14% of all trips • reducing the share of trips taken in private motor vehicles from 83% to 66%.

The research has been funded by the CIBE project under the CRC for Construction Innovation. As a student and as a person I have always had a very broad interest, sometimes finding it difficult to make choices. In the thesis this part of my personality is reflected in the broad focus on infrastructure. Of course writing a thesis without making choices is impossible; one would end up with an encyclopedia. The choices I have made for my thesis, from delineating the scope of the project, to specifying the important concepts from the thesis and the people to interview, have coincided with important choices on where I want to take my life in the future.

  • Transport Justice in the Suburbs: Leveraging Social Capital to Reduce Transport Disadvantage
    Transport Justice in the Suburbs: Leveraging social capital to reduce transport disadvantage Laurel Marie Johnson Master of Built Environment (City and Regional Planning) QUT https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9928-0246 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences i Transport Justice in the Suburbs, 2020 Abstract Transport infrastructure and transport services are vital to a city’s function. Transport connects citizens with employment, goods, services and each other. Despite this shared understanding of the central role of transport in urban life, for some city residents, the cost, availability, reliability, convenience and/or quality of transport constrains their access to the city’s assets. These individuals experience transport disadvantage. Transport disadvantage is strongly associated with locational and social disadvantage, though causality is complex. In this study I use a longitudinal research method to investigate transport disadvantage at a single urban location. The purpose of the research is to understand the factors that reduce transport disadvantage. The research method is qualitatively-dominant mixed methods and the theoretical interest is the roles of social capital in reducing transport disadvantage. The investigation presents policy, theoretical and methodological findings and recommendations. The research highlights a model of governance that delivered new transport infrastructure and services designed by residents in a transport- disadvantaged place. A significant policy recommendation is that linking social capital in the form of authentic power with and enduring local governance arrangements in transport disadvantaged places can be potent in reducing transport disadvantage. Theoretical recommendations include expanding social capital theory to inquire into the role of kindness in enabling mobility in transport disadvantaged places and extending transport poverty theory to consider locational disadvantage as a factor in transport poverty.
