  • RACQ Ipswich Motorway Policy Analysis
    Policy Analysis 9/05 Economic & Public Policy Ipswich Motorway Introduction The Ipswich Motorway is a vital link between Brisbane and Ipswich. It connects Ipswich and Granard Roads at Rocklea to the Warrego and Cunningham Highways and Brisbane Road at Dinmore. For many years, it formed part of the National Highway System (NHS), which was a Commonwealth Government funding responsibility. Since the release of the Commonwealth’s AusLink land transport policy in June 2004, the Ipswich Motorway has been part of a broader National Network. The AusLink policy decreed that the states must share costs of the National Network, particularly in urban areas. The Ipswich Motorway is one of Queensland’s most congested roads, with stop-start conditions during morning and afternoon peak periods. It also has one of the highest vehicle accident rates in Queensland. Yet, the upgrading of this hopelessly inadequate and dangerous road has been subjected to extraordinary delays because of political bickering and dithering. This document summarises the history of recent proposals to upgrade the Ipswich Motorway, analyses Commonwealth and State Government policies regarding the road, and outlines RACQ’s position. Background The Ipswich Motorway upgrade project has been dogged by delays, conflict between governments, and political manoeuvring. In the meantime, road trauma and congestion continue to worsen on this very sub-standard stretch of the National Network. The following brief chronology highlights key events in this sad, sorry saga. 1997 The Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland, which was released in 1997, proposed commencement in 1997-98 of a major investigation in respect of an Ipswich Motorway upgrade.

  • Mt Lindesay/Beaudesert Strategic Transport Network Investigation Draft Report for Consultation, 2009 138
    13.0 NETWORK STAGING The purpose of the network staging modelling is to establish priorities for the Department of Transport and Main Roads in terms of future corridor presentation. The 2036 time frame was selected as it is 10 years after the current timeframe of committed infrastructure projects (i.e. projects in South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Program) to provide an indication of the next round of priority projects in the region. 13.1 2036 Land Use The 2036 population for the South East Queensland region was based on a linear extrapolation between 2026 and 2056. This resulted in an additional 470,000 people across the region at 2036, and a total of 4.4 million. Locality population growth in areas, besides the Study Focus Area and Ipswich City area, were also distributed based on this linear extrapolation. In the Study Focus Area and Ipswich City area, the linear extrapolation was used as an overall total however locality population growths have been adjusted. Additional population, based on linear extrapolation, at 2036 for the former Beaudesert Shire is 79,600 and for Ipswich City 103,800 people. The South East Queensland Strategic Transport Model and 2005 Regional Plan predicts a 2026 population for the former Beaudesert Shire of approximately 116,600 people. More recent investigations by the former Beaudesert Shire Council indicate this may be closer to 140,000 people at 2026. As a result the 2036 demographics were adjusted for this additional 24,000 persons to 2026 plus the amount added from the linear extrapolation process. A total of an additional 103,600 people was therefore utilised for the 2036 population growth Staging Scenario.
