  • Chapter 3 Adequacy and Extent of the National Highway System
    Chapter 3 Adequacy and extent of the national highway system Introduction 3.1 This chapter addresses the second item in the terms of reference: Assess the adequacy and extent of the National Highway as currently declared in meeting the objective of providing a national road system that meets the needs of industry and the community. 3.2 The national highway system was originally declared in 1974 and consisted of the links between mainland capital cities, plus links between Brisbane and Cairns, and Hobart and Burnie. The national highway system has since been extended on two occasions: firstly in 1992 to include important inland freight links between Sydney and Adelaide, and between Melbourne and Brisbane; and secondly in 1993–94 to include urban links between existing national highways within certain capital cities. The national highway system totals some 18 500 km and since 1974 the Commonwealth has spent some $11 billion on its upgrading and maintenance. The map at figure 3.1 shows the national highway system. 3.3 A significant amount of the evidence presented to the committee suggested deficiencies in the adequacy and extent of the national highway system, particularly in relation to a lack of high quality links to ports, airports, rail terminals and industrial facilities in major urban areas. 3.4 In considering the extent and the adequacy of the national highway system, this chapter discusses the objectives of the national highway system, industry and community expectations, the need for effective integration with other forms of transport, and the need to integrate the national highway and roads of national importance into a national road system.
