Ipswich to Springfield Public Transport Corridor Study
The Queensland Government is studying future public transport options, infrastructure and services between Ipswich and Springfield.The study was undertaken by Parsons Brinckerhoff on behalf of Queensland Transport to determine the best future public transport options to:
- provide public transport networks and services ahead of major population growth to encourage preferred types of development
- support employment and industry growth in the Western Corridor
- improve transport connections with the rest of the south east Queensland region by providing good public transport.
Environmental Impact Study
The Environmental Impact Study has been finalised and submitted to government. A decision whether or not to preserve the corridor will be made and the final document will be available for viewing shortly.

Review of environmental factors
Phase 1 of this study involved a Review of Environmental Factors to assess a number of public transport corridor options between Ipswich and Springfield via Ripley.
Public consultation was undertaken between October and December 2006 and incorporated into the review.
The reviews findings have assisted the Queensland Government in selecting Option 1A—Yamanto and Option 2A—Redbank Plains South, as the preferred public transport corridor from Ipswich to Springfield.

The review examined environmental issues, technical aspects and community views in relation to four possible corridor options. This assessment assisted the Queensland Government in determining the most efficient and effective public transport corridor for the western region of south east Queensland.
A public transport mode is yet to be determined and will be further investigated in the next phase of the study.
