The GIRTP Study Team acknowledges the fi nancial support provided by Queensland Transport, Department of Main Roads, Gladstone Port Authority, Calliope Shire Council, Gladstone City Council and QR. The GIRTP Study Team expresses, too, its appreciation of the assistance and support provided by the members of the GIRTP Steering Committee and GIRTP Technical Committee. foreword forewordGladstone is a significant, growing regional and industrial centre. The sustainable growth of the Gladstone area is vital to both the Central Queensland region and the State, due to its employment generation capacity and contribution to the nation’s trade position and transport is critical to achieving this. The Queensland Government and Gladstone City and Calliope Shire Councils are committed to generating jobs and prosperity in the region. The development of the Gladstone Integrated Regional Transport Plan (GIRTP) is a practical example of this commitment to regional economic development. Given the significance of Gladstone as a major industrial centre in Queensland, an important emphasis of the GIRTP is on freight and commodity movements. However, the GIRTP also considers other transport issues such as passenger transport in and through the region and walking and cycling, and recognises that the region’s transport system must be developed in an ecologically sustainable manner and in a way which contributes to an attractive lifestyle for residents.
