This bikeway is one of the most highly utilised pedestrian and cyclist (both recreational and commuter) routes in south east Queensland. Due to sustained growth in usage since its construction in 1988, the Bicentennial Bikeway is now operating at full capacity. The proposed diversion works project is critical to the completion of the Bicentennial Bikeway which is being progressively widened from Toowong to the CBD. This upgrade aims to meet the future demand for both pedestrians and cyclists and provides improved access to the Go Between Bridge Bikeway. The diversion works will see improvement to the city cycle network through pathway upgrades and widening, improved lighting and on-road cycling facilities. To enable the Bicentennial Bikeway section east of the Go Between Bridge to be upgraded, a diversion path is required on the southern side of the Brisbane River. The proposed diversion works project, provides an alternative travel route to the CBD during the construction of the main bikeway providing access from the Bicentennial Bikeway to GOMA and Southbank and from West End to the CBD. The path allows cyclists to avoid the use of Coronation Drive which is a six lane arterial road. The total project cost for the diversion works (Kurilpa Park to South Bank) is $1.45 million. This project also includes the Go Between Bridge to Kurilpa Bridge pathways, a pathway realignment and upgrades underneath the Victoria Bridge and intersection upgrades to Grey Street. The diversion works for Hale Street East includes a 250m long 4.0m wide concrete bike path and 2.0m wide concrete pedestrian path on the south side of the Brisbane River, between the Go Between Bridge and Kurilpa Bridge. This project is part of the cycle network identified in the South East Queensland Principal Cycle Network Plan. Trip Attractors • Major CBD Transport Nodes • Brisbane CBD • GOMA • Southbank • West End Funding The project estimate is $1,595,000. Brisbane City Council has committed $797,500 to this project and is requesting: • $797,500 as a 2010-11 Capital Grant from the Cycle Network Program.

This bikeway is one of the most highly utilised pedestrian and cyclist (both recreational and commuter) routes in south east Queensland. Due to sustained growth in usage since its construction in 1988, the Bicentennial Bikeway is now operating at full capacity. It is for user safety and capacity reasons that the Bicentennial Bikeway needs to be widened and upgraded from a shared pathway to a separated pathway. Stage 3 works include the upgrade of 565 metres of off-road pathway from Lang Parade to Park Road. Hale Street Missing Link West Stage 2 works include the upgrade of 246 metres of off road pathway from Hale Street to Cribb Street. Hale Street Missing Link East works include the upgrade of 550 metres of off road pathway from Hale Street to to the existing elevated bikeway under the William Jolly Bridge. All projects will upgrade the current facilities to 5.5 metre wide separated concrete pathways (3.5 metre for cycling, 2.0 metre for walking). In 2006-07, Cycle Network Program provided $100,000 funding to Council for the Design and Feasibility of the progressive widening of Bicentennial Bikeway. In 2008-09, Cycle Network Program provided $1 million funding to council for the construction of Bicentennial Bikeway - Stage 1 upgrade. In 2009-10, Cycle Network Program provided $2,062,500 funding to council for the construction of Bicentennial Bikeway – Stage 2 upgrade. Currently in 2010-11, the Cycle Network Program are providing $1,375,000 for Hale Street Missing Link West Stage 1. This project is part of the cycle network identified in the South East Queensland Principal Cycle Network Plan. Trip Attractors • Major CBD Transport Nodes • Brisbane CBD • Brisbane Cultural Centre Funding The total cost for these projects is $19,520,000 (Excl. GST). Brisbane City Council has committed $11,260,000 (Excl. GST) to these projects and is requesting the following in 2010-11 Capital Grant Funding: • $2,305,000 (Excl. GST) for Bicentennial Bikeway Stage 3, • $1,125,000 (Excl. GST) for Hale Street Missing Link West Stage 2 and; • $2,830,000 (Excl. GST) for Hale Street Missing Link East.

The Schulz Canal Crossing project is a key component of this bikeway, linking the Kedron Brook Bikeway to the Brisbane Airport Corporation cycle network and the Gateway Bikeway network connecting to Sir Leo Hielscher Bridge. Project works include the construction of a 1140 metre long, 3 metre wide off-road shared path from Kedron Brook Bikeway at Nudgee Road south to the Brisbane Airport Corporation boundary. Also included in the project is a 140 metre long bridge structure over Schulz Canal adjacent to Nudgee Road. The Brisbane Airport Corporation proposes to construct the link from its boundary to the Airport Commercial Centre via the Circuit Road Bikeway. There is Airport Link construction work that might affect the crossing over Nudgee Road. If this occurs, Brisbane City Council will provide an interim at-grade crossing of Nudgee Road under the elevated train line. This project is part of the cycle network identified in the South East Queensland Principal Cycle Network Plan.

  • An Investigation of the Causes of Over-Optimistic Patronage Forecasts for Selected Recent Toll Road Projects 8 December 2011
    Revised Final Report Department of Infrastructure and Transport An investigation of the causes of over-optimistic patronage forecasts for selected recent toll road projects 8 December 2011 Executive Summary The Australian Government Department of Infrastructure and Transport is investigating the causes of over-optimistic patronage forecasts with the purpose of identifying potential remedies. This report contributes to that investigation via case studies of selected toll road projects to identify challenges in processes and opportunities for improvements, so that lessons from the past may guide practice in the future. Two major cases CityLink (Melbourne) and Lane Cove Tunnel (Sydney) with two supporting cases Westlink M7 (Sydney) and the Go Between Bridge (Brisbane) were chosen for coverage of geography, timing, physical characteristic and forms of funding. Desktop research supported by interviews with stakeholders covering the spectrum of stakeholders in the road procurement process found: PPP bidding processes for toll roads lead to selection of the most optimistic of optimistic forecasts: Government forecasts, erring on the high side to avoid under-estimating environmental impacts, may set a forecast ‘floor’ Traffic modellers in bid teams produce a ‘low’ forecast above this floor for debt lenders and a ‘high’ estimate of possible returns for those taking equity Equity forecasts are submitted with bids and the highest forecast almost always wins. Four-step models used in most toll road forecasts: Have some intrinsic positive biases when modelling toll road patronage More importantly they provide many opportunities for optimistic selection of parameters Optimism can more easily occur in the absence of data for example about values of time or traffic flow by day of week and month of year; and Estimates of ramp up in traffic after opening may be especially subject to optimism; and/or Deliberate selections to raise forecasts, such has high growth rates for population or the economy, may be applied.

  • 4. Future Transport Conditions Without the Project
    4. Future transport conditions without the Project This chapter outlines the forecast changes in transport conditions and performance between the base year of 2012 and the future modelled years – 2021 and 2031. 4.1 Modelled transport network and operation assumptions Key assumptions incorporated into the BaT Project Model include growth in public transport fares, parking charges and road tolls, growth in the value of time as well as strategic transport network improvements. Details of these assumptions are contained in section 2.2. The rail, bus and road network infrastructure for future years is based on current TMR and local government project commitments. A full description on key project inclusions and exclusions is shown in section 2.2 but in summary, includes infrastructure projects currently under construction; infrastructure projects programmed in QTRIP; Queensland Rail (Transport Services Contract) funded projects and committed Brisbane City Council strategic road projects. For this assessment, assumptions on key future rail transport projects include: • by 2021, track duplication from Coomera to Helensvale; and rail stabling improvements • by 2031, third track from Kuraby to Loganlea; track duplication from Beerburrum to Landsborough; and Clapham Yard stabling improvements. Other key transport network planning projects within the Brisbane Statistical Division assumed to be completed: • a range of new busways/ transitways by 2021, including the Old Cleveland Road transitway, Gympie Road transitway to Chermside and an extension
