Transport Plan for Brisbane Released
Brisbane City Council has released the Transport Plan for Brisbane – Strategic Directions, developed to guide Brisbane’s transport network over the next 25 years.
The Plan addresses the challenges and opportunities expected to emerge as Brisbane’s population increases over the next 25 years – particularly in regards to the importance of infrastructure and the need to support a connected city.
The Plan is underpinned by a series of desired outcomes:
• A clean, green, sustainable city
• Community health and wellbeing
• Meeting people’s needs
• Better journey experience
• Sustained growth of business and industry
• Convenient commuting
• Safe and efficient freight movement
• Supporting the tourism and visitor economy
• Innovative transport systems
• Technology-enabled solutions
• Robust organisations and partnerships
• Integrated land use and transport
• Well planned, designed and managed networks
• Travel demand management and behaviour change
• Safe transport networks.
Across these 15 outcomes, the Plan identifies 80 transport ‘directions’.
The 25-year Plan is supported by an Implementation Plan, which sets out the Council’s role with regard to planning, delivery and operation. The Implementation Plan also emphasises the importance of strategic partnerships and governance partnerships, community engagement and private sector innovation.
Acknowledging the importance of the private sector in the delivery of transport innovation, the Plan outlines a commitment from Council to work with the private sector to manage future transport demands for the city.
The Property Council provided feedback to previous consultation on the Plan, and is represented as a member of the Lord Mayor’s External Reference Group.
The Property Council has been supportive of actions to improve the link between land use planning and infrastructure, particularly ones with measurable implementation actions. The Property Council continues to highlight the need for collaboration between the public and private sector, ensuring that infrastructure is delivered in the right locations, relative to assets and community needs.
