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. However, in order to achieve the urban renewal project objectives, a land use strategy must support a preferred mass transit solution o Implementation of road demand management strategies and major upgrades to road network potential initiatives would also not in themselves be sufficient to meet key land use objectives, in particular urbanCouncil renewal outcomes in the coastal corridor. o A range of infrastructure based potential initiatives were comparatively assessed and subjected to a strategic merit test to determine the potential transport outcomes eachRELEASE initiative could deliver, and the performance of each initiative against the project objectives.Coast The infrastructure initiatives that provide coverage along the coastal areas of the Sunshine Coast region from Maroochydore toRTI Caloundra, as well as inland connections through greenfield developments and connecting to the existing passenger rail network perform best against the project objectives. Given the number of key activity centres and current traffic movements, the coastal corridor between Kawana and Maroochydore has the highest requirement for urban renewal and increased transit amenity.Sunshine • The Sunshine Coast Mass Transit Preliminary Business Case (PBC) should focus on a mass transit solution (either light rail or bus rapid transit2) in the Maroochydore to Kawana coastal corridor, with safeguarding for network extensions and/or connections to potential future mass transit solutions in the southern coastal corridor between Kawana to Caloundra, as well as the inland corridors between Beerwah and the Sunshine Coast Airport. 1 These initiatives will form the ‘without project’ case against which a ‘with project’ case can be measured. 2 Based on previous analysis completed by Council, a range of mass transit technologies such as heavy rail, elevated rail and monorail are considered to be unfeasible for the coastal corridor. CHAPTER 1 – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 4 RTI18/028 page 4 Sunshine Coast Mass Transit Project Strategic Business Case 1.2 Background The Sunshine Coast region is approximately 100 kilometres north of Brisbane and covers an area from Beerburrum, the Glass House Mountains and Caloundra in the south, Kenilworth and the Connondale National Park to the west, and Eumundi and Peregian and in the north. During the past 30 years, the Sunshine Coast region has experienced significant population growth and urban development, and now represents a regional economy worth more than $15 billion3. The region has a number of major economic centres including Maroochydore, Kawana and Caloundra. The current region’s population of 303,000 in 2016 is projected to grow to 518,000 by 2041. In the same period, employment is projected to grow from 118,000 to 195,0004. In order to support this growth, the 2017 South East Queensland Regional Plan (ShapingSEQ) forecasts dwellings to grow by 87,000 by 2041, and this plan requires that 63 per cent of future development in the Sunshine Coast region is to be consolidation/infill development. The Bruce Highway runs through the western side of Sunshine Coast region, with a number of highly utilised Queensland Government-controlled roads providing access from the Bruce Highway to the coastal areas of the Sunshine Coast, namely Caloundra Road, Sunshine Motorway and Maroochydore Road. Other key routes providing connections throughout the coastal region between Caloundra and Maroochydore include Nicklin Way, Kawana Way, Aerodrome Road and Alexandra Parade. They are supported by approximately 30 bus routes, taxi, Home and Community Care/Aged Care transport services, Council Link services, school buses and tourist shuttle/bus services. Inter-Councilregional connectivity is provided by the Bruce Highway and the North Coast rail line. Currently, approximately 90 per cent of trips that originate within the Sunshine Coast region will finish at a location within the region.RELEASE 5 per cent of trips will travel south towards Brisbane and the Moreton Bay region and the remaining Coast5 per cent of trips will travel north and west of the region5. Table 1.1 provides a snapshotRTI of the key demographics, economic and employment statistics and transport elements of the Sunshine Coast region.

These service needs, benefits sought, strategic responses and initiatives are discussed in the following sections. 1.4 Service need andSunshine urgency Service needs identified in the ILM include: • lack of a mass transit system to support integrated regional outcomes to drive greater sustainability, accessibility and productivity • limited appetite for urban renewal within the region, likely driven by high levels of greenfield development and take-up • growing levels of road congestion on key arterial roads within the Sunshine Coast region, resulting in increasing costs of congestion • low levels of public transport mode share, with current public transport options considered uncompetitive compared to private vehicles. As these problems are currently occurring and are forecast to be further exacerbated, early intervention will be critical, particularly in relation to driving alternative land use outcomes. The demand for accessibility to jobs and other economic centres in the Sunshine Coast CHAPTER 1 – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 6 RTI18/028 page 6 Sunshine Coast Mass Transit Project Strategic Business Case Enterprise Corridor will increase, driving the urgency for a solution that can move people within this corridor, as well as induce housing demand and take-up

  • 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%.

  • RAIL Back on Track 2016 Public Transport Passenger Survey – Unedited Comments
    RAIL Back On Track 2016 Public Transport Passenger Survey – Unedited Comments Are there any comments you would like to make (optional)? Thanks! Answer Thank you for the opportunity to have a say! Platforms need to be raised for better accessibility for disabled. Buses and trains need a larger more open area for wheelchair access and bike storage. Overall I support public transport but would love to see cycling added to this, as cycling infrastructure should be part of public transport planning. Also would love to see use of hire bikes at each station to encourage more people to commute on bike to work. Trams should be reintroduced in all major cities to encourage short distance travel. Gold Coast trams are always clean, I have my ticket checked nearly every time I travel, the staff are friendly and I genuinely feel like 'they care'. In 40years in QLD its the best public transport experience I have had. If the tram system was a 10 - QR would be a 3. Everything the tram system is, the QR system is not. Time for a massive cleanout and rebuild of QR I think. Brisbane needs a light rail also the go card should be the same as the opal card in sydney it has alot easier fare system better than go card QR sucks TransLink sucks Buses suck Light rail is the only thing that works Public transport reform is required in SEQ - buses - trains - ferries all working together to deliver the best possible outcome for the community. The current silos and decision making is not leveraging the current and continued investment made by those who pay taxes to support public transport and this is a travesty which needs to be corrected.

Queensland Rail should be privatised by worldwide Expression of Interest and then competitive contracting. Nobody has explained why $1.8 billion of taxpayer money is just handed to this operator and its contract renewed, come what may. There are now plenty of private operators that could run the SEQ rail network like Metro Trains, Deutsche Bahn, Keolis etc. The current model is NOT working, because the minister keeps renewing the QR contract no matter what! Private contractors already run buses, ferries and light rail in Queensland, so this is not new at all. People need to ride the privatised CityCat or privatised Gold Coast Light Rail that we have already have to see that their fears that this will trigger the apocalypse are unfounded. 2. Brisbane City Council needs to review the ENTIRE BCC bus network. Many suburbs could get BUZ frequency buses from the simple amalgamation of existing bus routes, with little or no new expense or infrastructure. Usually after BUZ upgrades the patronage doubles. The current administration should realise this and do it because their political opponents are already on to this, and already came out with plans last BCC elections for more BUZ routes.

  • 5.3.4 Planning Approval Process
    Maroochydore Station Corridor Study: Findings and Recommendations Report Draft report for public consultation The Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2006 and Management Program 2006-2016 At the time of writing, the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2006 and Management Program 2006-2016 (KCP) (EPA, 2006) which came into effect on 2 October 2006, were applicable. The koala plan addresses the key threats facing koalas and sets out strategies to stop the decline of koala numbers and help the species’ recovery. Issues addressed in the KCP include: habitat protection and vegetation clearing; development; State Government infrastructure; vehicle mortality; dog attacks; translocation; research; zoos; public education; and, the rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned koalas. Under the KCP, Maroochy Shire Council is one of 18 local government areas contained in “Koala District A”. District A includes areas where koala habitat have been identified and population densities are the highest but the long term viability of some koala populations has been undermined by threats such as habitat destruction. Koalas are listed as “vulnerable” in District A areas. Koala habitat areas are statutory areas identified by the SEQRP under the IP Act, and are referred to as: Koala Conservation Areas Koala Sustainability Areas Urban Koala Areas. The proposed corridor is not included in any of the koala habitat areas as mentioned above. Therefore the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2006 and Management Program 2006-2016 (KCP) will not be triggered for the future development of the public transport corridor. 5.3.4 Planning approval process In Queensland, the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IP Act) is the principal legislation regulating development and the effects of development Development of the proposed Maroochydore Station corridor is likely to involve all facets of ‘development’ as defined by the IP Act.
