  • Clem Jones Tunnel
    NORTH-SOUTH BYPASS TUNNEL PROJECT TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT i Project and Process Information Project Proponent The proponent for the North-South Bypass Tunnel (NSBT) is the Brisbane City Council. Brisbane City Council is Australia’s largest local authority with a population of approximately 930,000 residents. Project Summary The North-South Bypass Tunnel Project (the Project) is part of an overall strategy to improve the efficiency of Brisbane’s road network, consistent with long-established and accepted regional and city-wide transport planning objectives. The Project had its genesis as one part of the implementation of the Transport Plan for Brisbane 2002 – 2016 which is public policy of the Brisbane City Council and is an outcome of the integrated transport planning process. More recently, the North-South Bypass Tunnel is encompassed by the TransApex transportation strategy. The North-South Bypass Tunnel is intended to connect the South-east Arterial Road (Pacific Motorway) and Ipswich Road (at Woolloongabba) to the south with the Inner City Bypass and Lutwyche Road to the north. The proposed route will generally follow the alignment of Ipswich Road/Main Street, cross under the Brisbane River adjacent to the Storey Bridge, and then proceed through Fortitude Valley to emerge at Bowen Hills north-east of the RNA Showgrounds. It is intended that the NSBT connect with the Inner City Bypass and other local roads, such as Lutwyche Road. There would also be connections in the vicinity of Shafston Avenue to provide for traffic to and from the eastern suburbs. The study corridor for the EIS is shown in Figure 1.

  • 6. Strategic Transport Impacts and Benefits of the Project
    6. Strategic transport impacts and benefits of the Project The Project would provide inner city rail and bus network capacity improvements to accommodate future public transport patronage to and from the Brisbane CBD. It would allow increased public transport accessibility to the CBD from new or improved railway stations and from the busway network. This improved transport accessibility would support planned CBD population and employment growth by providing more effective and efficient transport services compared with not investing in the Project. The forecast transport benefits of the Project would have three main beneficiaries groups: • transport users of all modes of transport • public transport operators – TransLink Division of TMR, Queensland Rail and Brisbane Transport • Government – in terms of the Project contributing to wider transport objectives. The key transport benefits, which are described following this introduction, would include: • an increase in rail and bus passenger capacity • an increase in rail and bus patronage • an increase in public transport mode share especially to the CBD • faster rail and bus trip speeds and reduced wait times that would lead to shorter rail and bus trip times • improved rail and bus passenger LoS through reduced passenger crowding • improved travel time reliability for both modes • improved network resilience by providing an alternative corridor through the inner city for bus and rail when the network is interrupted by unexpected incidents or maintenance. • improved public transport accessibility to the CBD • a reduction in the number of buses operating on CBD streets and the Captain Cook Bridge and Victoria Bridge • a small reduction in road trips to the CBD.

Local people identify the Noonucal, Gorenpul and Nughi as the traditional owners of what is now known as Redlands Coast and its adjoining areas. Food supplies were plentiful. Fishing, hunting and gathering were part of the communal economy, with people collecting food according to their carrying capacity, and food shared according to families’ needs. Dugong as well as fish such as mullet and tailor were caught with nets, sometimes aided by dolphins. Turtle and shellfish were also collected. Oysters, mullet, crabs, cowrie, prawns, cockles, eugaries (pipis), mussels and turtle were common foods at different times of the year. Other foods hunted and collected at different times of the year included kangaroo, wallaby, goannas, flying foxes, birds, possum, and bandicoots, native fruits and berries, honey, and drinks made from flowers. Bungwal/dingowa the rhizome of a fern, was pounded into flour, to make a type of damper or bread (later known as Johnny cakes) and once a year a journey was made to the Bunya Mountains to gather bunya nuts, which could also be used the same way, or eaten roasted or fresh.
