Connecting SEQ 2031
An Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland
What Connecting SEQ 2031 will deliver
� Primary transport plan bringing together various modal and geographic-based transport plans and studies and linking to broader government policy and planning (Regional Plan, Toward Q2)
� Specified under SEQ Regional Plan (2009 draft SEQ RP states at DRO 12.1.6 that Connecting SEQ 2031 be developed)
� A master plan which provides the policy framework to guide transport investment and assist SEQIPP prioritisation
� Meet requirements of the Transport Planning and Coordination Act 1994 (Part A, s22) to deliver integrated regional transport plans to complement regional plans
But put SIMPLY:
“A long term plan to fix transport in SEQ”

Congestion on Freight Priority Routes Causes for concern - Greenhouse emissions
� Qld is a world leader in per capita greenhouse emissions
� Transport emissions 12% of total but increasing the fastest
� 58% increase 1990 to 2005
� 100% increase the trend for 1990 to 2015; doubling in 25 years
� Target is a 5-15% reduction between 2000 and 2020

Cause for concern – rising energy costs Cause for concern - pollution
the state lacks public transport, draft cabinet documents show.”
Sydney Morning Herald 25 March 2009
Looking aheadH
• Key SEQ transport challenges due to:
– projected population growth
– forecast increase in travel (both on road and rail with competing space for passengers and freight)
– continued expansion of urban form and poor job/housing balance
– addressing emissions and responding to climate change agenda
– vulnerability to peak oil
– increasing costs to provide transport infrastructure and services
– Diminishing liveability

WHERE THESE TRENDS WILL
TAKE US
An undesirable path:
� Each new resident creates 3 new person trips by car /day averaging 10-12 km in length
� Modelling suggests even with planned major investments in roads, rail and busways, congestion will increase
� Continued urban expansion will lead to increased exposure to risks of energy vulnerability; stranded suburbs
� Climate change goals cannot be achieved without reducing growth in consumption of transport services
� Deteriorating air quality
� Funding may be increasingly difficult to get
When major change is needed.....
To achieve sustained social change here must be:
1.A reason to change......
• Economic
• Pragmatic
• Conscientious
• To meet an accepted challenge
2.An ability to change.......
• Alternative transport option can fulfil that need
• Trip need can be replaced or combined
SEQ water example...
WHERE DO WE WANT TO BE?
Desired outcomes for Transport in SEQ
1. Amenity and liveability: making the region a better place to be
2. Equity and accessibility: people can access goods, services, facilities and jobs, without the need to rely on a car
3. Economic prosperity and employment growth: freight and business traffic can move efficiently and reliably
4. Efficient transport : investment and land use patterns maximise the efficiency of the system
5. Managed congestion: travel times are re i b n the cost of congestion is stabilised or reduced
6. Environmentally responsible: protects environment and supports climate change and energy efficiency goals
7. Individual physical activity for health: active transport is a convenient and safe option for many trips
8. System is resilient: network has alternative routes when major incidents or events occur and the vulnerability to reduced supply of oil is minimised
9. Safety and security: people are safe and secure with low threat levels and a reduction in the occurrence of accidents on the road and rail network
FIXED
FIXED
But problems are complex and inter-related:
FOR EXAMPLE, For outcome 5 :- “Managed Congestion ”
Five key response areas:
1. Land use & planning - land use to make journeys shorter and easier
2. Travel demand management - reducing demand, spreading peaks
3. Travel options - better and more PT, cycling & pedestrian facilities
4. Efficiency - optimising existing network
5. Capacity - Support growth: new road infrastructure

WE NEED A STRATEGY
Strategy options to achieve the outcomes
1. Base case; SEQIPP 2018 and current policy settings
2. Road traffic investment focus; invest in roads so traffic growth to be accommodated on road system
3. Public transport infrastructure and services focus; invest majority of resources in transit and its supporting modes
4. Building blocks; “conservative”; balanced transport investment in addition to SEQIPP with low impact policy framework
5. Comprehensive; “transformational”; high level policy intervention with marginal cost of motoring increased
6. Staged comprehensive;
• work on “Building blocks” in first 10 years
• Congestion charging in major centres
• move to “Comprehensive” after 2020;

Total passenger task by growth rate:•SUNTRAN target of 10% would mean 190 000 boardings/day in 2026•The task of growing from 20 000 boardings/day to 190 000 is massive
� Mode shift to rail; includes short haul from port
� Coordination across modes; New intermodal terminals
� Segregation of freight from passenger on rail
� Advancing commercial vehicles through congestion
� Impact on communities – right vehicles on the right roads
Clear policy on freight is needed to pursue:
� 82% trips by car
� 67% ‘school trips’ by car
� 1% cycle to work
� 5% cycle to school
� 46% homes own a bike
� 79% cycle trips by males
� Each week 2.5 million cars do ‘school run’ or 500,000 car trips per day
But
� 50% of car trips are less than 5km
� Mountain Creek High School 14.5% cycle (600 cycle trips/day)
� RBWH average cycle to work trip 6 2km
Active transport: can it work in a low density community?
Changing travel behavior� If everyone in SEQ substituted 2 private
car trips per week for travel by bicycle:
10% of all trips by bike
� If each person substituted 2 trips by bike& 4 trips by walking
Up to 30% active transport mode share
LAND USE AND TRANSPORT
Affordable housing:
� Takes account of the cost of buying and living
� Not just a narrow view at time of purchase
� Maintains lifestyle quality and affordability
� without undermining congestion, energy efficiency,
climate change goals ;and
� can be efficiently serviced by public and non motorised
transport....
Generational change to a transit oriented city?
living:
CBD
TOD residential or commercial
major activity centre
Greenfield community
urban footprint (7+ du/ha)
Trans t devel. cor. (25+ du/ha)
High dens ty (50 + du/ ha)
HFP public transport corridor
1 = high density transit oriented
2 = transit development corridor3 = transit supportive fringe
3 categories of smart urban growth
Public Transport needs consolidated demands to be effective:
Sequencing of Greenfield areas so
PT goes in early
DIALOGUE: AN ESSENTIAL
INGREDIENT
Within and across governments
With the community
Dialogue is not something we do well1

I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it. Thomas Jefferson 3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)
A newspaper consists of just the same number of words, whether there be any news in it or not. Henry FieldingEnglish dramatist & novelist (1707 - 1754)
The one function TV news performs very well is that when there is no news we give it to you with the same emphasis as if there were. David Brinkley
US television newscaster (1920-2003)
Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right. H. L. Mencken
US editor (1880 - 1956)
Some simple questions about the big issues
� Growth; is it good? Can we stop it? Up or out?
� Taxes; do we pay enough tax to provide what we need?
� Lifestyles; should we need a car to do the things we need to do?
� Motoring; do you enjoy driving? Would you rather stroll than drive?
� Should we build roads to fight congestion, or should we be able to rely on public transport for much more of our travel?
� Community: should we share travel or travel alone?
� Shared responsibility; Are we constructive, concerned citizens or whingers?
� Collective action: Your city your say; or OUR city?

� Developing a Road �etwork to support:
� Population Growth
� Traffic Growth
� State and Local Government Planning Policy
� Effective maintenance to ensure safe and
efficient traffic operations.
Main Roads Planning Philosophy
� Previous
1. Improve transport network connectivity
2. Address traffic safety and economic drivers
3. Provide additional capacity on major road links
� Current
1. Make best use of existing resources
2. Support/facilitate Public Transport and active
modes
3. Work towards completion of ‘master plan’
