Snapshot: Public Transport in Brisbane
Transport Planning

• New growth has been built upon the principles
of Transit Oriented Development – leveraging
off public and active transport
• Aligning growth with the transport network
allows more efficient movement of people and
goods
• Active transport features heavily in meeting
future transport demand.
• Mode share targets in the Transport Plan for
Brisbane 2008-2026 aim to see:
1 in 5 trips made by walking and cycling
13% by public transport (up from 8%)
70% of trips will be made by Private Motor Vehicle
(down from 81%)
24 Hour Mode Share Targets
Transport Planning & Investment

Funding Challenges
• Limited funding available at all levels of government
– Council controls 95% of the Brisbane Road network (5,600km) but only
receives around 2% of the charges collected by State and Federal
Governments on users of the network
– Current cost recovery mechanisms from developers recovers only a small
proportion of the total cost of infrastructure
– Burden of infrastructure costs on ratepayers
• Competing areas of focus from other levels of government
– BCC taking leadership on the projects that the city needs
• Public Private Partnerships: private investors willing to take on
less risk
– Government must be prepared to take on more risk
– More innovative PPP structures
• Brisbane leading the way in “Capital Recycling”
– BCC transfer of operation and tolling rights on Legacy Way and Go Between
Bridge to QIC for upfront fees (and possible portion of tolling revenue) would
save $650 million in order to progress Kingsford Smith Drive Upgrade.
