EPBC Act Referral
EPBC Act referral Note: PDF may contain fields not relevant to your application. These fields will appear blank or unticked. Please disregard these fields. Title of proposal 2020/8646 - Stage 1 Coomera Connector Section 1 Summary of your proposed action 1.1 Project industry type Transport - Land 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities The Australian and Queensland Government are committed to ensuring the efficiency and safety of the M1 Pacific Motorway (M1) as a key component of the National Land Transport Network. The M1 is the highest-trafficked road in Queensland and is an enabling link for long distance traffic (freight, tourism, commercial and commuter) between economic hubs on the east coast of Queensland and New South Wales. The lack of capacity on the road network between Brisbane and the Gold Coast was highlighted as a problem in the Infrastructure Australia Audit. The 2015 Audit identified the M3/M1 Pacific Motorway in the top ten road corridors with the highest projected delay cost by 2031 nationally, and the section from Beenleigh to Helensvale as the third largest projected delay cost in the corridor in Queensland in 2031. The 2019 Audit projected the cost of congestion for the Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast area to increase to over $9 billion by 2031. The Brisbane to Gold Coast corridor has been, and will continue to be, one of the fastest growing areas in Australia. The cities of Logan and Gold Coast will continue to experience high rates of residential growth, while the city of Brisbane will have the highest growth in employment in Queensland – thereby being an important source of employment for commuting residents in Logan and on the Gold Coast.

Schedule of Classified Roads and State and Regional Roads
Schedule of Classified Roads and Unclassified Regional Roads Changes to this document are captured in ‘Recently Gazetted Changes’: http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/business-industry/partners-suppliers/lgr/arrangements-councils/road-classification.html Summary Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is required under the Roads Act 1993 s163 (4) to keep a record of all classified roads. To satisfy this commitment, this document contains a record of the roads classified under sections 46, 47, 50 or 51 of the Roads Act 1993 that have a Legal Class of Highway, Main Road, Secondary Road or Tourist Road - as legally described by Declaration Order in the Government Gazette. To manage the extensive network of roads for which council is responsible under the Roads Act 1993, RMS in partnership with local government established an administrative framework of State, Regional, and Local Road categories. State Roads are managed and financed by RMS and Regional and Local Roads are managed and financed by councils. Regional Roads perform an intermediate function between the main arterial network of State Roads and council controlled Local Roads. Due to their network significance RMS provides financial assistance to councils for the management of their Regional Roads. The Regional Road category comprises two sub- categories: those Regional Roads that are classified pursuant to the Roads Act 1993, and those Regional Roads that are unclassified. For completeness, the Schedule includes unclassified Regional Roads. Local Roads are unclassified roads and therefore are not included in the Schedule. The recently introduced alpha-numeric route numbering (MAB) system used for wayfinding purposes in NSW does not directly relate to the legal classification of roads and has not been incorporated into this Schedule.
