DOCS and FILES-O-Bahn City Access Project The O-Bahn City Access Project – Project Impact Report 4 State Strategic Policy Context The SASP articulates South Australia’s aspirations and contains 100 specific targets grouped under the six pillars of Our Community, Our Prosperity, Our Environment, Our Health, Our Education and Our Ideas. Specifically, ‘Target 63’ is significant in forming the strategic rationale for the O-Bahn City Access Project through its focus on public transport. Table 2 below outlines the contribution of the project to Target 63 as well as additional SASP targets relevant to the project. Table 2: O-Bahn City Access Project contribution to South Australia’s Strategic Plan Objectives Objective SASP target Project Contribution Our prosperity Target 39 – Competitive Business Climate: Reduce operating costs for transport (i.e. maintain Adelaide’s rating as the least reduced travel delay at intersections) costly place to set up and do business in Provide efficient and reliable movement and Australia and continue to improve our access to key industry and business hubs position internationally. along within Adelaide, specifically the CBD.

KNet#: 9641541 Page 30 of 275 The O-Bahn City Access Project – Project Impact Report 4 State Strategic Policy Context 4.2 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide An extension of the O-Bahn corridor is identified in the 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide as one of the key public transport investments for this major transit corridor. Figure 8: 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide: Major transit corridors and structure planning priorities, including the O-Bahn corridor. The O-Bahn City Access Project will contribute to encourage broader mixed use development in the City through its contribution to connecting the north-eastern region of metro Adelaide to the CBD. Key transport improvements such as the O-Bahn City Access Project and CityLINK, in combination with the recent Capital City Development Plan Amendment (DPA) are intended to unlock development potential of the CBD for mixed use, including significant residential uplift. KNet#: 9641541 Page 31 of 275 The O-Bahn City Access Project – Project Impact Report 4 State Strategic Policy Context The rezoning through the Capital City DPA has encouraged a growing residential market offering in the City, while other initiatives as part of the Vibrant City agenda will improve the attractiveness of a City based lifestyle for prospective residents. The update to the 30-Year Plan will build upon these initiatives and re-emphasise the importance of the City to meeting our population and dwelling targets. Future planned residential development along the mass transit corridors, particularly at major interchanges, will be supported by an improved performance of the O-Bahn corridor. The planned development of a higher density mixed use hub around Modbury Interchange will be facilitated by improved O-Bahn public transport services as people choose to locate in the North East Region close to the O-Bahn corridor encouraging a more compact, transit-focused City. 4.3 ITLUP The ITLUP guides private, federal, state and local government investment in the transport system for the next 30 years, with a focus on integrating land-use, strategic infrastructure and transport investment planning. It focuses on connecting people between places of residence, work and recreation, and connecting business to markets to support economic growth. Of particular note, the ITLUP identifies the need to “Improve O-Bahn access to the Adelaide City Centre” as one of the short term priorities (i.e. within the next 5 years). The Plan identifies a comprehensive suite of solutions to address the current and future transport challenges facing the state, with particular focus on: • Growing the role of public transport in servicing our City and urban and regional centres; • Providing efficient connections to export/import gateways; • Prioritising transport infrastructure and services to encourage mixed use development in central and inner Adelaide; • Supporting vibrant communities by encouraging active travel modes in Greater Adelaide and regional centres; • Fine-tuning, maintaining and making better use of existing assets; and • Developing and maintaining a planning system that ensures integrated transport and land use. The Plan aims to support and assist an emerging trend that more people now want to live in or near the City by continuing with strategic investments into public transport that will create a lively, creative, dynamic and safe district that appeals to residents and businesses. To do this, the transport system needs to not only support medium density, vibrant communities and business growth across inner- Adelaide but to actively encourage and drive these developments. An expanded network of trams in the inner areas and the CBD, combined with a redesigned bus network, and greater investment into our cycling and walking routes, integrated with land development, will greatly increase choice of travel. The Plan provides a strong vision to improve public transport into and within the City in line with corridor growth. It also proposes to address the problems associated with Adelaide’s Inner Ring Route around the outer-edge of the Park Lands and supports more cycling, buses and trams into the City. The Plan recognises that the bus network is the core of the public transport system carrying approximately 80% of passengers in Adelaide. Buses, through their inherent flexibility, have a unique role in the future that other public transport modes cannot meet. KNet#: 9641541 Page 32 of 275 The O-Bahn City Access Project – Project Impact Report 4 State Strategic Policy Context The Plan proposes a future public transport network that builds upon the previous and proposed investment in rail, tram and the O-Bahn bus infrastructure and services, to create an integrated network that is more stable, easy to use for all times of the day and with a focus on transit connections to major activity centres, employment and residential growth areas. The long term stability of a public transport network of high quality, high capacity and more frequently connected services is likely to influence urban development and create more sustainable transport patterns in a growing and more compact urban area. Key improvements to the public transport system within the ITLUP include: • Improved O-Bahn access into the CBD; • Continued improvements to the train network, including electrification; • Bringing a network of trams, called AdeLINK, back to the CBD and inner Adelaide to the northwest, east, west, north, south and a loop in the CBD; and • A redesigned and modernised bus network. The ITLUP also highlights the need to improve the efficiency and safety of the Inner Ring Route, including intersection and mid-block upgrades. This will provide an alternative, efficient connection for traffic travelling around the central City, thereby removing traffic from the CBD, improved pedestrian amenity and connectivity, opportunities for improved cycling facilities, and improved travel times and reliability for public transport. KNet#: 9641541 Page 33 of 275 The O-Bahn City Access Project – Project Impact Report 4 State Strategic Policy Context Figure 9: ITLUP Public Transport corridors* *including O-Bahn extension works on Hackney Road linking to the East End (refer to the ITLUP http://www.transportplan.sa.gov.au/ for map and project details) Future investigations are required to determine the preferred route for the EastLINK - WestLINK and CityLINK tram routes through the CBD. This will consider a range of aspects, including interaction with bus services. The O-Bahn City Access Project is being planned to not preclude any tramline options. The contribution of the O-Bahn City Access Project to the ITLUP goals and objectives are listed in the table below.

  • The Financial Cost of Transport in Adelaide
    Australasian Transport Research Forum 2013 Proceedings 2 - 4 October 2013, Brisbane, Australia Publication website: http://www.patrec.org/atrf.aspx The financial cost of transport in Adelaide: estimation and interpretation Dr David Bray1 1Adjunct Associate Professor, University of Queensland Email for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract An estimate is made of the total financial cost of transport in Adelaide in around 2007 based on the value of depreciable transport assets at the time and taking account of their economic lives, the cost of capital and annual operating and maintenance costs. Costs are identified separately for each public transport mode, various classes of public roads, traffic policing and various categories of road vehicle. The results show that private investment in road vehicles is three times the value of depreciable public assets. Private expenditure on owning and operating vehicles accounts for an even greater 85% share of the total average annual $7.0 billion financial cost (in December 2006 prices) of sustaining road and public transport in Adelaide. Nonetheless, the total financial cost to the government of providing public transport and road assets and services was substantial, at $0.43 billion and $0.63 billion respectively per annum. An associated indicative analysis estimates the cost of providing public transport in Australian capital cities to be around $10 billion per annum. A little over half of this cost is for capital related costs and the remainder for operations. Average annual investment of $1.5 billion is needed to replace life expired public transport assets. 1. Introduction Considerable assets are involved in the provision of urban transport.

  • Submission to the Public Works Committee (Parliament of South
    SUBMISSION TO THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Parliament of South Australia ON THE PROPOSED SOUTHERN EXPRESSWAY Margaret Dingle Southern Transport Community Coalition c/- People for Public Transport 120 Wakefield Street ADELAIDE SA 5000 Ph (08) 31 2838 INTRODUCTION This submission will express opposition to the building of the Southern Expressway. Using the available terms of reference, we shall seek to show that the Expressway, not only will not achieve its stated aim of bringing business development to southern Adelaide, but is a misuse of government funds which could with greater social and economic benefit be put to other uses. Since some of our arguments apply to more than one of the terms of reference, we shall, from time to time refer back to previous material used earlier in the paper. Accordingly we are addressing each of the stated terms of reference, as set out in the advertisement on page 17 of the Southern Times Messenger of 1 November 1995, which was the first information we had to tell us the date when the proposed work would be reviewed by the Committee. THE STATED PURPOSE OF THE WORK The stated purposes of the work, as interpreted by us from the Premier's media release of 21 March 1995 include: (1) to provide a fast track road and take pressure off South Road and avoid the Morphett Vale area (2) to reduce congestion (3) to service the needs of north bound traffic in the morning and south bound traffic in the afternoon: In the morning it will service the heavy demands of a north-bound traffic and in the afternoon it will revert of a south-bound only expressway.
