  • 1 Approach and Highlights
    Capital Statement 2020-21 1 Approach and highlights Features • The Queensland Government’s ongoing commitment to delivering and facilitating productivity-enhancing and catalytic infrastructure will continue to support economic recovery, resilience and future prosperity, as well as more broadly drive sustainable economic growth, increased employment opportunities and higher living standards. • The substantial capital program outlined in this Budget supports the Palaszczuk Government’s infrastructure commitment to invest $56.031 billion over four years throughout Queensland. This investment is critical to enhance business productivity, connectivity and overall long-term competitiveness, while ensuring that essential services, such as health care and education, are accessible to all Queensland communities and regions. • In 2020-21, the government will invest $14.835 billion on capital across the state. The capital program is important in directly supporting construction-related jobs in the short to medium term, with the capital program in 2020-21 estimated to support around 46,000 jobs, including 28,700 jobs outside of Greater Brisbane. • In 2020-21, the government will deliver a $6.267 billion investment in transformative transport infrastructure. Highlights of the 2020-21 transport capital program include $1.514 billion to continue construction work on Cross River Rail and substantial ongoing investment to fund major upgrades to the M1 Pacific Motorway and the Bruce Highway. • Capital expenditure to support the delivery of health services is $1.625 billion in 2020-21. The government is providing $265 million to build seven satellite hospitals to enable our acute hospitals to continue safely managing patients via alternative models of care across South East Queensland.

  • Queensland's Experience with Speed Limit Reductions
    Queensland’s experience with speed limit reductions on ‘Black Links’ Neil A Edgar, Santosh Tripathi Safer Roads Unit Department of Transport and Main Roads, Queensland Contact: Phone: (07) 32534968 Fax: (07) 32534110 Email: [email protected] Abstract: A high priority action in the 2008-09 Queensland Road Safety Action Plan was to "Identify high-risk roads or road sections for speed limit reductions where road improvements are not feasible in the short term." The premise for this action was that speed limit reductions, in combination with signage advising of crash history and increased police enforcement, would provide a significant low cost mass action opportunity to reduce the number and severity of crashes. The former Departments of Main Roads and Queensland Transport collaborated with the Queensland Police Service to identify poorly performing corridors, which were termed ―black links‖. A report to the Queensland Cabinet recommended that approximately 60 km of roads be reduced to 90 km/h (from 100 km/h). The majority of the identified corridors formed part of the heavily trafficked federally funded highway network. This paper outlines early experiences with the reduction of speed limits, which were implemented in December 2008. It encompasses site selection details, before and after speed surveys, crash history, high visual impact sign design and enforcement and media considerations. KEYWORDS Black Links, Safe System, Speed Management, Speed Limits 2011 Australasian Road Safety, Research, Policing and Education Conference 1 6 – 9 November 2011, Perth Convention Exhibition Centre, Perth, Western Australia Queensland’s experience with speed limit reductions on ‘Black Links’ Background Through many research studies, vehicle speed has been proven to be a consistent and major contributory factor in the occurrence and severity of road crashes.
