  • Light Rail Down Under: Three Strikes and You're Not out !
    CLOSING GENERAL SESSION Light Rail Down Under Three Strikes and You’re Not Out ! PETER TURNER Parsons Brinckerhoff ueensland, Australia’s “sunshine state,” is typical of many sunbelts—it relies on tourism and Qhas rapid population growth, continuing urban sprawl, falling transit modal shares, and a general community concern for the environmental consequences. These are trends familiar to many U.S. cities. Light rail transit has been considered as a solution to these concerns, and has been the subject of a comprehensive planning and justification effort on a number of occasions for a Brisbane-based system. However, despite the many benefits offered by the light rail mode, none of the previous schemes have been able to garner sufficient support to allow implementation. State government is now preparing a planning and project justification for a light rail scheme in the region for the fourth time in a decade. This time, the proposed corridor is along Australia’s premier tourist destination—Gold Coast City. INTRODUCTION The city of Brisbane is the administrative and commercial heart of Queensland. It forms part of a conurbation of some 1.5 million residents that includes four cities and two shires. From the turn of the century until 1969, the city was served by a network of tram lines which, in their heyday, operated a fleet of 425 trams and carried 170 million passengers per year. As in other cities in Australia and overseas, 1960s Brisbane saw the demise of its local tram networks as community leaders sought to modernize municipal public transport systems. From the late 1950s until the mid 1980s, Brisbane experienced massive urban expansion as the municipal program of expanding the (then) limited sewer and water reticulation network to new development sites allowed developments to expand rapidly.

A number of points were discussed at the meeting, with officers needing to seek further information before responding in writing. Wayne has requested this response be sent to you on his behalf. Please find below responses to the outstanding matters raised during the meeting. What is the level of owner's consent required for a short term accommodation application in a building with body corporate? If this scenario is in relation to an existing building with an apartment approval, owner's consent would be required for a Material Change of Use development application to the premises. Even though particular rooms could be located within specif[c exclusive area, users of that room would need to utilise common area such as lifts, waste collection services, recreation services and car parking. Therefore, the body corporate approval would be required for such an application. What are the changes in the Material Change of Use requirements under City Plan? There is a significant change in the definitions from the 2003 Our Living City Planning Scheme to the City Plan, which commenced on 2 February 2016. Prior to the City Plan, there was no stipulation on whether an apartment use was limited to short term or long term accommodation.

  • And Everything Else for the City of Gold Coast
    Case Study City of Gold Coast 2017 'Internet of Things' and Everything Else for the City of Gold Coast The City of Gold Coast is the local government area spanning the Gold Coast, Queensland, and surrounding areas. Major expansion over the last 50 years has seen the Gold Coast become the largest non-capital city in Australia, and the City Council is the second largest local government in the country behind Brisbane City. As a result, City of Gold Coast (the City) has constantly planned and pushed forward to provide the infrastructure development required in this rapidly expanding city, that also attracts over 11 million visitors a year. To support the ongoing growth of the city, and deliver high quality services to residents and visitors, the City is investing in a high fibre count Wide Area Network (WAN). The WAN will enable upgrades of the City’s CCTV network in preparation Above from left to right: Roger McArthur (UCG), for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, as well as supporting a range of Russell Henricksen (Council), Ian Hatton (Council) and other service upgrades. Peter Zeegers (UCG). The network deployment project managers, Universal Communications Group (UCG) are one of the leading suppliers in the ANZ region, of a range of broadband design, cabling and construction services, particularly for next generation cable networks. For over 20 years, they have provided innovative fulfilment solutions to the telecommunications sector. For this project UCG were successful in winning the City’s tender and have since strengthened ties with AFL, who will be supplying over 20km of 864-core Spider Web Ribbon fibre to the project.
