  • Mt Lindesay/Beaudesert Strategic Transport Network Investigation Draft Report for Consultation, 2009 138
    13.0 NETWORK STAGING The purpose of the network staging modelling is to establish priorities for the Department of Transport and Main Roads in terms of future corridor presentation. The 2036 time frame was selected as it is 10 years after the current timeframe of committed infrastructure projects (i.e. projects in South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Program) to provide an indication of the next round of priority projects in the region. 13.1 2036 Land Use The 2036 population for the South East Queensland region was based on a linear extrapolation between 2026 and 2056. This resulted in an additional 470,000 people across the region at 2036, and a total of 4.4 million. Locality population growth in areas, besides the Study Focus Area and Ipswich City area, were also distributed based on this linear extrapolation. In the Study Focus Area and Ipswich City area, the linear extrapolation was used as an overall total however locality population growths have been adjusted. Additional population, based on linear extrapolation, at 2036 for the former Beaudesert Shire is 79,600 and for Ipswich City 103,800 people. The South East Queensland Strategic Transport Model and 2005 Regional Plan predicts a 2026 population for the former Beaudesert Shire of approximately 116,600 people. More recent investigations by the former Beaudesert Shire Council indicate this may be closer to 140,000 people at 2026. As a result the 2036 demographics were adjusted for this additional 24,000 persons to 2026 plus the amount added from the linear extrapolation process. A total of an additional 103,600 people was therefore utilised for the 2036 population growth Staging Scenario.

  • Freedom of Information 2004-05 Annual Report
    Minister’s introduction This is the 13th annual report to the Queensland Parliament on the operation of the Freedom of Information Act 1992 (Qld) (the Act). The reporting period ushered in some signifi cant amendments to the Act with the passing of the Freedom of Information and Other Legislation Amendment Bill on 26 May 2005. Information on these amendments are summarised in this report. Agencies faced signifi cant challenges in ensuring the smooth integration of these legislative changes, but I believe they have risen to the challenge admirably. Since early 2005, the Department of Justice and Attorney-General has revitalised its lead agency role for the whole-of-Government co- ordination of freedom of information in Queensland. The Department’s Freedom of Information and Privacy Unit was established in part to increase community access to, and awareness of, the FOI process, and to facilitate inter-agency training and communication to ensure a consistent approach to FOI administration. In 2001, the Legal, Constitutional and Administrative Review Committee’s Report No. 32, Freedom of Information in Queensland, was tabled in Parliament. The Department’s Freedom of Information and Privacy Unit plays an important role in ensuring that many of the recommendations made in that report continue to be implemented. The 2004–05 FOI Annual Report gives an overview of FOI across both the State and local government in Queensland. A total of 12,554 FOI applications were received by State and local government agencies during the 2004–05 year, which is an increase of 2% from the previous year. The rate of access to documents in 2004–05 is generally consistent with access rates across Australia with full or partial access granted to nearly 90% of documents.

  • G Etting O Ut and a Bout in Beaudesert S Hire
    Gettin g Out a n d A bout In Beaudesert S h ire Access and Mobility Plan for Beaudesert Shire 2005 Background The Beaudesert Shire Community – Transport Network (BSCTN) formed in 2004 in response to the lack of action occurring on addressing transport, access and mobility issues in the Beaudesert Shire. ( Appendix A is a listing of the BSCTN participants.) Centacare and CADDIES convened a meeting that bought together key community agencies and members to discuss this issue and determine what process would be used to begin working on an issue that impacts and underpins EVERYTHING in our life. Each person’s quality of life and access to goods and services is affected by his/her ability to get out of home - ‘do something’ and then return home. It is also acknowledged that solutions to these problems are not 1 person’s or agencies responsibility – it is a shared responsibility. This Access and Mobility Plan is the community’s attempt to bring together the various issues and determine an agreed course of action that arises through collaboration and is owned by the community. Access and Mobility is used in preference to ‘transport’ as this word instantly limits every person’s thinking to vehicles – in reality the barriers and solutions are not always about having a vehicle. This plan also excludes the Canungra / Tambourine village and Mt Tambourine areas of the Beaudesert Shire as these communities tend to access the Gold Coast. Access and Mobility in Beaudesert Shire Beaudesert Shire is situated approximately 65klm south of Brisbane and approximately 70klmwest of the Gold Coast.

  • Development of a Road Safety Plan for Scenic Rim Regional Council
    University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences DEVELOPMENT OF A ROAD SAFETY PLAN FOR SCENIC RIM REGIONAL COUNCIL A dissertation submitted by Seren McKenzie In fulfilment of the requirements of Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) October 2014 Abstract Every day on Australian roads, more than three lives are lost. The number of injuries related to road accidents is closer to one hundred per day. The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that approximately 90 percent of passenger travel and 20 percent of freight travel is by road. The Australian road network consists of over 800,000 kilometres of roads, from major arterial roads to rural property access lanes (unformed roads). Scenic Rim Regional Council is responsible for the construction and maintenance of a road network of 1,810 kilometres, of which 956 kilometres are sealed roads, 847 kilometres of unsealed roads, and a small amount of unpaved roads (Scenic Rim Regional Council Road Strategy, 2013). The intent of this dissertation was to research and review Australian and international guidelines, standards, existing strategies and other relevant literature in order to develop an appropriate Road Safety Plan for Scenic Rim Regional Council. In order to achieve this, an appropriate approach to road safety was identified, which included a review of the legislative obligations of Council in ensuring a safe transport network, determining an appropriate framework in the form of the Austroads Guide to Road Safety (Austroads Ltd, 2013) which follows the internationally endorsed approach of the Safe System approach, analysing available crash data from WebCrash which had a number of limitations, and reviewing the Scenic Rim Regional Council corporate documents and relevant strategies to determine how a Road Safety Plan could be assimilated.

  • Mt Lindsey/Beaudesert Strategic Transport Network Investigation
    East-west Freight Route A number of submissions objected to an investigation of an east-west freight corridor, particularly a link using Crowson Road and Chambers Flat Road. Opposed submissions generally stated that a freight corridor would ruin the rural lifestyle, devalue properties and make the roads more dangerous for children. Many of the received submissions stated that existing roads should be upgraded rather than a new corridor created. It is noted however that a number of submissions were also received that supported the proposed link. Southern Infrastructure Corridor (road) A number of submissions objected to a major highway along Camp Cable Road. Submissions generally stated that a highway would result in increased noise and pollution. In addition it was stated that a highway would affect the beauty and semi-rural lifestyle of the surrounding area. A number of submissions opposed to the Southern Infrastructure Corridor (road) argued that it would impact on surrounding wildlife corridors. Submissions were also received which stated support for the Southern Infrastructure Corridor (road). These submissions stated that it would relieve congestion along existing roads and provide service to the proposed communities of Yarrabilba, Jimboomba and Flagstone. Public Transport Submissions received stated that better public transport is required in the area claiming that there are currently limited public transport provisions. In addition it was identified that planning should focus on the provision of and preservation of public transport corridors as a priority rather than road corridors. Submissions were also received which stated public transport was not required as people choose to live rural lifestyles and do not want services.
