  • 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%.

    Appendix D Social Impact Assessment 41/15762/09/339481 R0 Notional Seaway Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement Coordinator•General Report for Gold Coast Notional Seaway Project Social Impact Assessment August 2006 Important Notice – Disclaimer SIA on a Notional Project including a Concept Design The Social Impact Assessment (SIA) has been developed and conducted to address the Terms of Reference of the Notional Seaway Project Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EIS is based on a concept developed by GHD Pty Ltd (GHD). The concept design is based on a brief provided by the Queensland Government (Initial Advice Statement) and relevant design codes. Because this SIA has not been undertaken on a ‘real Project’ much of the information that is usually available to identify and assess social impacts is not present, therefore case studies and industry (both cruise ship and super yacht) information have been heavily relied upon. Participation of Notional Seaway Project Stakeholders Any participation in the SIA by Notional Seaway Project Stakeholders has been on a voluntary basis. Their participation in the SIA does not condemn nor advocate the development of the Project, rather it states the social impacts they have identified with the information they had at the time. 41/15762/343332 Gold Coast Notional Seaway Project Social Impact Assessment Contents Executive Summary xvi Introduction xvi Methodology xvi Community Profile xvi Community Services and Facilities xviii Existing Social Environment xviii Identification of Social Impacts xix Significance of Social Impacts xx Mitigation/Management and Enhancement Strategies xxiii Monitoring of Social Impacts xxiv Summary xxvi 1.
