Connecting SEQ 2031 an Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland Connecting SEQ 2031 An Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland Tomorrow’s Queensland: strong, green, smart, healthy and fair Queensland AUSTRALIA south-east Queensland 1 Foreword Vision for a sustainable transport system As south-east Queensland's population continues to grow, we need a transport system that will foster our economic prosperity, sustainability and quality of life into the future. It is clear that road traffic cannot continue to grow at current rates without significant environmental and economic impacts on our communities. Connecting SEQ 2031 – An Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland is the Queensland Government's vision for meeting the transport challenge over the next 20 years. Its purpose is to provide a coherent guide to all levels of government in making transport policy and investment decisions. Land use planning and transport planning go hand in hand, so Connecting SEQ 2031 is designed to work in partnership with the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009–2031 and the Queensland Government's new Queensland Infrastructure Plan. By planning for and managing growth within the existing urban footprint, we can create higher density communities and move people around more easily – whether by car, bus, train, ferry or by walking and cycling. To achieve this, our travel patterns need to fundamentally change by: • doubling the share of active transport (such as walking and cycling) from 10% to 20% of all trips • doubling the share of public transport from 7% to 14% of all trips • reducing the share of trips taken in private motor vehicles from 83% to 66%. These targets are ambitious, but will be met if the average south-east Queenslander changes just three of their 17 weekday trips each week from car to public or active transport. The community has already shown support for the goals in Connecting SEQ 2031, with the feedback received during three months of public consultation on the draft plan in late 2010, endorsing its direction. Rail remains the backbone of the future transport network, with its ability to efficiently move large numbers of people. The rail network will be expanded with new rail lines, including Cross River Rail and extensions to north-west Brisbane, Kippa-Ring, Maroochydore, Redbank Plains, Ripley, Flagstone and Gold Coast Airport. In the interim, other initiatives have been proposed to improve the rail network's capacity, such as high frequency services over extended peak periods, and improved signalling and timetabling. The bus network will continue to provide crucial urban links and complement the rail network, with more bus priority on major roads. Walking and cycling will also be critical in reducing the number of car trips, and Connecting SEQ 2031 identifies the improvements needed to make active transport an appealing and safe alternative. Roads will continue to play a major role in moving traffic, freight, buses and cyclists. A key element of Connecting SEQ 2031 is to create a better functioning hierarchy of roads. New and upgraded intermodal freight terminals are proposed to accommodate future growth in freight in the region, as well as encourage more freight to be transported by rail. Connecting SEQ 2031 is the most comprehensive and far-reaching transport document produced by the Queensland Government in more than a decade. It has been developed with input from local councils, key stakeholders and the broader community, and draws on the best available Australian and international research. It is planned to be updated every five years, in conjunction with reviews to the SEQ Regional Plan. Connecting SEQ 2031 is not intended to be backed by full government funding. It is a vision to inspire action, prioritise investment and guard against complacency. The projects and actions contained in the plan will be used to assess funding needs, develop proposals for private sector interest and underpin bids for funding from all levels of government. We look forward to governments, stakeholders and the community working together to implement this plan and transform the way we move around our region over the next 20 years.

  • Eastern Transitway Stage 1—Consultation Summary
    BUS L A N E END LANE BUS BUS LANE END LANE BUS Eastern Transitway Stage 1 Stage Transitway Eastern BUS LANE Consultation Summary Consultation BUS LANE August 2020 August BUS LANE Introduction The Queensland Government is investing in the delivery of the Eastern Transitway. This cost-effective solution will improve priority for public transport along Old Cleveland Road, from Coorparoo to Carindale, and aims to extend the benefits of the existing Eastern Busway. Targeted bus priority measures will improve bus service reliability and bus travel times in peak periods, which will assist in managing congestion along the corridor. These measures will not reduce the number of general traffic lanes. The Eastern Transitway project will be delivered using a staged approach to minimise the impact to the community. Stage 1 will focus on the Creek Road intersection and extend along Old Cleveland Road to Narracott Street. Community participation Community feedback was received through our online survey, via email, phone and at meetings. This included feedback from: 18 emails 176 online surveys completed 5 phone enquiries 6 group meetings 18 individual meetings Consultation feedback summary The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) would like to thank the community for their feedback and input into the Eastern Transitway Stage 1 design. Community consultation was completed between 29 June 2020 and 12 July 2020. Feedback was received through our online 'Get Involved' survey, via email, phone and at meetings. Overall, the feedback received from consultation demonstrated the majority (60 per cent) of the community who responded to the survey supported the proposed Eastern Transitway Stage 1 design.
