It identifies and addresses current and future transport challenges and includes a plan to help meet emerging transport needs for the Mackay area. It is the first comprehensive, integrated plan for Mackay that considers all modes of transport.
Nautilus: Connecting Noosa, Nambour and Maroochydore
Nautilus is a Public Transport Corridor study on the northern part of the Sunshine Coast. The South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan 2005-2026 (SEQIP) has allocated six million dollars funding for the Nautilus study over a four year period 2005 to 2009. Queensland Transport will investigate options for public transport corridors and modes that will provide efficient infrastructure to link Noosa, Nambour and Maroochydore.
Principal Cycle Network Plan for Far North Queensland
A draft cycle network has been identified through meetings local governments and community workshops. Draft maps of the Principal Cycle Network Plan for Far North Queensland are being finalised and will be included in the draft Far North Queensland Regional Plan when it is released for public consultation.
Queensland Transport's Interests in Planning Schemes
Queensland Transport, as a state agency, has areas of interest in the preparation and review of planning schemes. In order to guide local governments, and other stakeholders, Queensland Transport is preparing policies clarifying Queensland Transport's Interests in Planning Schemes (QTIPS).
The primary purpose of the Rail Network Strategy is to sustain the rail network and its continuing contribution to the government's desired transport outcomes. The strategy outlines Queensland Government priorities, such as jobs growth and the promotion of Queensland. Above all, it reinforces the importance of appropriate infrastructure development for the success of the state.
Regional Airport Development Scheme (RADS)
The Queensland Government's Regional Airport Development Scheme has been developed to assist local governments to upgrade aviation infrastructure in regional and remote areas of Queensland.
