PROGRESS REPORT - 23 JULY, 2020 Funding of Priorities Identified and Advocated Through the Inland Queensland Roads Action Project (IQ-RAP) PROGRESS REPORT - 23 JULY, 2020 Funding of Priorities Identified and Advocated through the Inland Queensland Roads Action Project (IQ-RAP) Page 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE INLAND QUEENSLAND ROADS ACTION PROJECT (IQ-RAP) The IQ-RAP was developed through consultation and engagement with local governments and industry peak bodies. Regional Roads Forums were convened in December 2013 in Longreach and in August 2014 in Mount Isa with participants coming from across inland Queensland. Regional Development Australia Townsville and North West Queensland (RDA) was requested and agreed to be the Secretariat and raised funds from partners in 2015. Funding support was forthcoming from 33 local governments that covered 82% of Queensland’s area, RACQ and 5 Regional Development Australia Committees. A Project Steering Committee was formed and consultants the Harrison Infrastructure Group (HIG) were engaged. In February, 2016 the Inland Queensland Roads Action Plan was launched. This was followed by extensive advocacy to the Australian and Queensland Governments and peak industry bodies through to mid-2018. In mid-2017 IQ-RAP partners agreed to extend the project and update the Plan into a new Inland Queensland Road Network Strategy, taking into account the funding commitments that had been made to priorities identified in 2016, carrying over the priorities that still required funding and updating the Multi- Criteria Analysis with new information. 28 local governments, 5 Regional Development Australia Committees and RACQ provided on-going funding support. Further extensive advocacy was undertaken. This document summarises the funding that has been secured for priorities identified and advocated through the Inland Queensland Roads Action Project (IQ-RAP) and the two major reports that were prepared by Harrison Infrastructure Group (HIG) and Regional Development Australia Townsville and North West Queensland (RDA). Disclaimer: This report has been prepared by Regional Development Australia Townsville and North West Queensland (RDA) in consultation with the Harrison Infrastructure Group. The Harrison Infrastructure Group and RDA accept no liability or responsibility whatsoever for or in respect of any use of or reliance upon this report by any third party.

  • Queensland Parliament
    Queensland Government Hon. Paul Lucas MP Minister for Ourref: MC17946 Transport and Main Roads Your ref: 588-05 1 5 DEC 2005 Mr Neil Laurie The Clerk of the Parliament Parliament House George Street Brisbane Qld 4000 Re: Petition No 588-05 Proposed upgrade of the Kennedy Highway, between SmithHeld and Kuranda (locally known as the Kuranda Range Road) I refer to the petition number 588-05 lodged with the Legislative Assembly on 23 November 2005 by Ms Rosa Lee Long MP, Member for Tablelands, regarding the proposed upgrade of the Kennedy Highway, between Smithfield and Kuranda, which is locally known as the Kuranda Range Road. In September 2001, Cabinet endorsed the preferred, long-term option for the Kuranda Range corridor to be progressively upgraded to four-lane capacity over a 10 to 15 year period using a road surface route. Since that time, the Department of Main Roads has carried out the extensive planning required for this option. Regarding the petition's call for the upgrade to be "fast tracked as a matter of urgency", the state government is already progressing the upgrade as quickly as possible, due to legislative obligations. The project has triggered federal environmental legislation - the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1998 (EPBC) - and also requires approvals under the Wet Tropics Management Plan. The Department of Main Roads has developed a preliminary design for the upgraded road which minimises environmental and visual impacts, as much as possible, and in many cases provides substantial benefits. In September 2004, Main Roads submitted the project to the federal Department of Environment and Heritage (DEH) and Wet Tropics Management Authority (WTMA) for environmental approvals.

  • RACQ Regional Road Inspection Tour 2009
    Regional Road Inspection Tour December 2009 <<Insert image here>> Document description South Western Queensland and North / North Western and Central Queensland RACQ Regional Road Inspection Tour 2009 Introduction In August/September 2009 the RACQ Traffic & Safety Department undertook a road inspection tour of major Queensland highways in the North, Central and Southern Queensland. The tour included meetings with representatives at Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) offices in the regions to gain a better understanding of issues and current condition of the National and State road network in these areas. It also provided the opportunity to better comprehend the difficulties of building and maintaining roads in harsh weather and inferior soil conditions. General measurements were taken of traffic lanes, shoulders and clear zones. Visual assessments of the roads such as pavement condition, delineation, ride comfort and presence of roadside hazards were recorded together with observational surveys of traffic mix. These were logged and are discussed in greater detail within the main report. The data collected, with the knowledge and understanding of relevant local issues gained, together with the fact that RACQ experts were „on-site‟, generated a great deal of media interest and community feedback throughout both tours. The two week-long trips are shown below: South-western Queensland (1750km) North, North Western and Central (August 31 – September 4) Queensland (2250km) (September 14-18) • Warrego Highway • Flinders Highway • Moonie Highway • Barkly Highway • Balonne Highway • Landsborough Highway • Mitchell Highway • Capricorn Highway 2 RACQ Regional Road Inspection Tour 2009 pavement including trees and exposed South Western culverts.
