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.

    Kennedy Highway TRARR Analysis PROJECT No: PRJ18092 AUTHOR: Kenneth Lewis, Ian Espada & Long Truong PREPARED FOR: Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads 12 October 2018 FINAL VERSION 1 Released under RTI - DTMR Kennedy Highway TRARR Analysis - Final 12 Oct 2018 (002).pdf - Page Number: 1 of 20 Released under RTI - DTMR ARRB – YOUR NATIONAL TRANSPORT RESEARCH ORGANISATION ABN 68 004 620 651 With offices in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth. National Transport Research Centre and Head Office: 80a Turner St, Port Melbourne, 3207 VIC, Australia arrb.com.au Contract Report: Version 1| Commercial in confidence | Kennedy Highway TRARR Analysis ii Kennedy Highway TRARR Analysis - Final 12 Oct 2018 (002).pdf - Page Number: 2 of 20 SUMMARY This report is a performance analysis of Kennedy Highway using TRARR. TRARR is a simulation tool to assess operation level-of-service (LOS) of two-lane highways. The analysis examined Kennedy Highway in its current configuration and at various future demand scenarios. The analysis showed that Kennedy Highway is operating at LOS D under current demands and will potentially reach LOS E by 2040, or by 2032 if traffic is higher than the historical median trend. The approximate AADT per direction at which this occurs is at 7,000 vehicles, currently the approximate AADT per direction is 4,440. Released under RTI - DTMR Although the Report is believed to be correct at the time of publication, the Australian Road Research Board, to the extent lawful, excludes all liability for loss (whether arising under contract, tort, statute or otherwise) arising from the contents of the Report or from its use.

  • 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).
