Reseal and asphalt overlays ‐ $5.4 million; Pavement rehabilitaon ‐ $4 million; Reseal program: Resealing a road involves spraying the old stone Suburban enhancement program (eg. road shoulder sealing / sealed surface with hot bitumen and rolling in loose stones, of kerb and channel replacement) ‐ $4.5 million; between 7mm to 14mm in diameter, over the top.

  • Queensland Parliament
    Queensland Government Hon. Paul Lucas MP Minister for Ourref: MC17946 Transport and Main Roads Your ref: 588-05 1 5 DEC 2005 Mr Neil Laurie The Clerk of the Parliament Parliament House George Street Brisbane Qld 4000 Re: Petition No 588-05 Proposed upgrade of the Kennedy Highway, between SmithHeld and Kuranda (locally known as the Kuranda Range Road) I refer to the petition number 588-05 lodged with the Legislative Assembly on 23 November 2005 by Ms Rosa Lee Long MP, Member for Tablelands, regarding the proposed upgrade of the Kennedy Highway, between Smithfield and Kuranda, which is locally known as the Kuranda Range Road. In September 2001, Cabinet endorsed the preferred, long-term option for the Kuranda Range corridor to be progressively upgraded to four-lane capacity over a 10 to 15 year period using a road surface route. Since that time, the Department of Main Roads has carried out the extensive planning required for this option. Regarding the petition's call for the upgrade to be "fast tracked as a matter of urgency", the state government is already progressing the upgrade as quickly as possible, due to legislative obligations. The project has triggered federal environmental legislation - the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1998 (EPBC) - and also requires approvals under the Wet Tropics Management Plan. The Department of Main Roads has developed a preliminary design for the upgraded road which minimises environmental and visual impacts, as much as possible, and in many cases provides substantial benefits. In September 2004, Main Roads submitted the project to the federal Department of Environment and Heritage (DEH) and Wet Tropics Management Authority (WTMA) for environmental approvals.

TRARR is a simulation tool to assess operation level-of-service (LOS) of two-lane highways. The analysis examined Kennedy Highway in its current configuration and at various future demand scenarios. The analysis showed that Kennedy Highway is operating at LOS D under current demands and will potentially reach LOS E by 2040, or by 2032 if traffic is higher than the historical median trend. The approximate AADT per direction at which this occurs is at 7,000 vehicles, currently the approximate AADT per direction is 4,440. Released under RTI - DTMR Although the Report is believed to be correct at the time of publication, the Australian Road Research Board, to the extent lawful, excludes all liability for loss (whether arising under contract, tort, statute or otherwise) arising from the contents of the Report or from its use.

  • 5.2. Support for the Port Douglas Grand Fondo Festival Report Author
    32 of 183 5.2. SUPPORT FOR THE PORT DOUGLAS GRAND FONDO FESTIVAL REPORT AUTHOR Amy Mail, Tourism and Economic Development Officer MANAGER Terry Farrelly, Manager People and Community Services DEPARTMENT People and Community Services RECOMMENDATION The Council resolves to: 1. Provide a letter of support to Connect Sport Australia to accompany their funding application for the Port Douglas Grand Fondo Festival to regional and state tourism bodies. 2. Delegates authority under section 257 of the Local Government Act 2009 to the Chief Executive Officer to finalise any minor amendments in relation to the letter of support for the Port Douglas Grand Fondo Festival. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Connect Sport Australia is a Far North Queensland-based company that runs cycling tours in Australia and Japan. They’re also the leading charity cycling event company in Australia, managing charity cycling tours for various charities since 2011. Connect Sport Australia are proposing a landmark event for the Douglas Shire entitled the Port Douglas Grand Fondo Festival, with proposed dates of the inaugural event to be 10 – 12 September 2021. These dates will capitalise on a seasonal lull that traditionally occurs in the first two weeks of September before school holidays. Their vision is to create an iconic, annual event that will become synonymous with Port Douglas, helping to establish the Douglas Shire as the ultimate Australian destination for people looking to combine event participation with an adventure holiday. The festival format of the Port Douglas Grand Fondo encourages multiple entries into events throughout the weekend and encompasses a viewing experience at all events for spectators and locals.
