The PIP will be subject to reviews in accordance with the requirements of IPA and will also be reviewed after the adoption of the Local Growth Management Strategy, which is required under the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2005-2026 (SEQRP). 1.1. Purpose The purpose of the PIP is to define the scale, type, timing and location of growth in the Gold Coast in order to plan future trunk infrastructure and to determine the charges required to fund it in a timely fashion. IPA requires integration of land use and infrastructure planning to allow infrastructure to be supplied in a coordinated, efficient and orderly manner. This enables sustainable development and encourages urban growth in areas where adequate infrastructure exists or can be provided efficiently. 1.2. PIP Terms, Acronyms and Definitions Definitions are provided to assist the reader’s understanding of the PIP. Where appropriate, reference should be made to the relevant legislation for statutory definitions. Term Acronym Definition Additional Trunk (a) the costs of supplying infrastructure to development that is: Infrastructure Costs (i) inconsistent with the assumptions about the type, scale, location or timing of future development stated in the PIP, or , (ii) is located wholly or partially outside the PIA, and (b) would impose additional trunk infrastructure costs on the infrastructure provider taking into account: (i) infrastructure charges or regulated infrastructure charges levied on the development, and (ii) trunk infrastructure supplied or to be supplied by the applicant in respect of the development.

    Gold Coast Transport Strategy 2031

    GOLD COAST CITY TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2031 MID-LIFE REVIEW SUMMARY MAY 2019 STRATEGY Mayor’s Foreword Just as it was in 2013 when I released the Gold Coast City Transport Strategy 2031, improving our transport system remains one of my top priorities. That’s why we have undertaken a mid-life review of the strategy to ensure we are on track to deliver our transport vision for the city and protect our Gold Coast lifestyle. This mid-life review, with input from across our organisation as well as key industry and government stakeholders, has shown that we are on track with delivering our 2031 transport commitments and are adapting well to changes in the transport landscape by considering emerging technologies. We have achieved much in the last five years, and are well prepared to deliver even more in the next five years. The Transport Strategy priorities remain highly relevant and an enhanced focus on congestion management is necessary to consolidate and prioritise actions that address both the cause and effects of congestion. We all know we can’t build our way out of congestion and building more roads in isolation is not the solution. Our integrated approach delivers supporting measures to reduce the growth in traffic and provide alternative, sustainable modes of transport that will deliver our transport vision. Given there are many causes of congestion, there needs to be a mix of solutions to combat it. That is why the City’s Transport Strategy has an integrated plan in place to manage congestion and protect our unique lifestyle. This includes critical road projects, ‘pinch points’ and active transport projects for maximum benefit to the city.

  • Draft Gold Coast City Transport Strategy 2031 Foreword

    Draft Gold Coast City Transport Strategy 2031 Foreword

    DRAFT Draft Gold Coast City Transport Strategy 2031 Foreword As Mayor, improving our transport system is one of my top priorities. Getting transport right is essential for economic growth and to protect our Gold Coast lifestyle. We have to stop playing catch-up and build the transport network our great city needs. That means a network where people and goods can move around easily, safely and efficiently; where public transport is attractive and reliable; and where people love to walk and ride bikes because we have a safe and connected network of paths. While the car will continue to play an important role in the way we move around the Gold Coast, all growing cities reach a point where relying solely on the car is not the best option to meet the growing transport task. The Gold Coast has reached that point. We are no longer a small, regional city. We are growing into a mature, world-class city and our transport system needs to grow and change accordingly. Put simply, we need to reduce traffic congestion or we risk choking our city and jeopardising the great lifestyle we all love and enjoy. This strategy outlines the things Council can do to improve the city’s transport network. It also highlights how we will work together with the state and federal governments to improve walking, cycling, public transport facilities and the road network, providing more choices for all. Implementing this strategy will make it quick and easy to get around the Gold Coast. And it will keep the Gold Coast moving in the face of DRAFThigher energy costs, increasing traffic congestion and the need for responsible financial management.
