    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.

    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.

Thanks! Answer Count Percentage Answer 144 50.17% No answer 110 38.33% Not completed or Not displayed 33 11.50% ID Response 927 1. 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.
