  • 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%.

The Investment Logic Map (ILM) has demonstrated the importance of taking an integrated land and use and transport planning approach to develop the Project to address problems and service needs, realise benefits and enable strategic responses. • Seventeen current and potential initiatives were identified and assessed in the SBC. The assessment of the initiatives showed that: o Whilst the eight current initiatives identified will not meet service needs in themselves, they should continue to be developed as part of current planning and project development processes1. o A land use only potential initiative will not adequately address the problems nor fully realise identified benefits.

We received a record 160 abstracts of which 145 have been accepted for inclusion in the scientific programme, and have 184 registered delegates and 11 accompanying persons, making this meeting the largest ever in the history of the ANZ Division. We are proud of this achievement and thankful to you for your support of the meeting and the Division activities. We trust the program will be a scientific and social success, and hope that you enjoy your stay in Brisbane. The scientific programme is packed with national and international speakers, in a rejuvenated format that accommodates plenary, symposia and open oral sessions in addition to poster presentations. I am particularly indebted to the numerous invited guest speakers who have contributed generously to the programme. I’m sure this has been a key attraction for delegates. Rarely have we seen so many esteemed colleagues gathered in one location delivering cutting edge research findings. The theme for this year’s meeting is “Inequalities to Personalized Medicine: A Tale of Disparities”.
