This is a list of our initiatives, plans and projects for north Queensland. If the initiative, plan or project you are seeking is not listed, contact us for further information.
Atherton Tablelands Rail Trail Feasibility Study
The Atherton Tablelands Rail Trail Feasibility Study evaluates the economic feasibility of developing disused rail corridors as recreational 'rail trails' for walking, bicycling and/or horse riding.
The Cairns Bus Priority Study was conducted by the Department of Transport and Main Roads and Cairns City Council. The study provides the agencies with a ten-year program of works to improve the efficiency of bus services. Bus priority measures along busy road corridors ensure that buses are able to bypass congestion to stay on schedule.
Cairns Integrated Public Transport Plan
The Cairns Integrated Public Transport Plan was a priority action of the Far North Queensland Regional Plan, which identified the need for convenient, reliable and effective public transport.
The Queensland Government has commenced planning for a new transit network for Cairns. This planning includes building a network to deliver dedicated public transport spines that will connect the length and breadth of Cairns. The network will be an attractive, fast, frequent and reliable transit network that will be custom-built to fit in with the Cairns lifestyle and climate.

Integrated Transport Planning Framework
The Integrated Transport Planning Framework is a guide for transport planning in Queensland. It sets out a collaborative, consistent and sustainable approach to transport planning.
Principal Cycle Network Plan for Far North Queensland
In March 2007, the Department of Transport and Main Roads began developing a Principal Cycle Network Plan for far northern Queensland. As part of developing the plan, the Project Team consulted with Local Governments and the community to establish a draft principal cycle network for Far North Queensland.

Maps of the Principal Cycle Network Plan for far north Queensland were open for comment from the public until Friday, 1 August 2008.
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.
Torres Strait Transport Infrastructure Plan
The Torres Strait Transport Infrastructure Plan was undertaken by the Department of Transport and Main Roads in close consultation with Torres Shire Council and the Torres Strait Regional Authority. It recommends strategies for ensuring safe, efficient and sustainable access to freight and passenger transport services throughout the Torres Strait Islands and includes an implementation plan.
Townsville Port Access Impact Assessment Study
The Townsville Port Access Impact Assessment Study was undertaken by Townsville City Council, the Department of Transport and Main Roads, Queensland Rail and Townsville Port Authority. It considered the impacts of future land side access options to the Port of Townsville. It was completed in December 2000.
Townsville Thuringowa Integrated Regional Transport Plan
The Townsville Thuringowa Integrated Regional Transport Plan (the plan) is the result of collaboration between Queensland Transport, the Queensland Department of Main Roads, Townsville City Council and Thuringowa City Council. The plan is a signature project of the broader regional planning exercise which produced the Townsville–Thuringowa Strategy Plan.
