Asked on Tuesday, 25 October 2011

MR ELMES ASKED THE MINISTER FOR MAIN ROADS, FISHERIES AND MARINE INFRASTRUCTURE (MR WALLACE)—

QUESTION:

With reference to signage erected alongside safety improvement works on Cooroy- Noosa Road near the intersection with Sunrise Road, and as the signage bears the Government logo and reads ‘A Safer Roads Sooner Project…Another Project Funded from Camera Detected Offences’— Will the Minister advise (a) how much revenue was collected in 2010-11 from this source, (b) what projects the funds were allocated to and (c) what criteria are used to decide which projects are funded by this program?

ANSWER:

I thank the Member for Noosa for the question.

(a) The total revenue collected from the Camera Detected Offence Program for the 2010-11 financial year was $69.578 million.

(b) The Safer Roads Sooner program invests funding into projects to improve road safety, particularly at high crash locations. Each year, the state government provides $17 million from revenue collected under the Camera Detected Offence program to the Safer Roads Sooner program. The funding is allocated for projects to address known or potential safety concerns on the state-controlled road network. In the 2010-11 financial year, the state government allocated revenue to 98 projects under the Camera Detected Offences program. (table below)

(c) For the Safer Roads Sooner program, the Department of Transport and Main Roads’ technical committee carries out an extensive analysis of candidate projects using eligibility guidelines, a crash history-based benefit/cost ratio and proactive risk assessment methodologies. The technical committee recommends a priority list of projects to be reviewed by an advisory committee for funding and approval by the Minister for Main Roads.

The advisory committee membership consists of senior representatives of the Department of Transport and Main Roads, Queensland Police Service, Emergency Management Queensland, Local Government Association of Queensland, RACQ, Queensland University of Technology Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety, Queensland Trucking Association and Bicycle Queensland.
