Moving Brisbane

Program Goal

Brisbane's transport network enables efficient and sustainable movement of people and freight. The city's accessibility and liveability is maintained and all have access to a high quality road network, high quality public transport (bus and ferry) services and active travel alternatives, with an understanding that investment in each transport mode is required to cater for the differing needs of users.

Program Description

Council recognises the need to maintain Brisbane as an easy city to get around. The community pays the costs of traffic congestion in increased costs of goods and services, reduced amenity and inconvenience. Relief of traffic congestion through a balanced strategy of road upgrades and investment in public and active transport is therefore a high priority.

The Transport Plan for Brisbane outlines how increased public transport use, walking and cycling can assist a program of targeted road investment to manage travel demand and reduce congestion on Brisbane's road network. The Plan introduces corridor planning, a process of developing multi-modal management plans for main arterial corridors and their local transport networks. From this planning, a rolling program of projects will be developed and budgeted for. A $100 million program of investment in provision of cycling and pedestrian infrastructure was completed in 2012 and an additional $120 million will be invested between 2013 and 2016.

Council's Road Action Program has upgraded a significant number of the city's highest priority road network links in recent years.

The TransApex vision is nearing completion with construction of Legacy W ay continuing. The Airport Link project as well as Clem7 and the Go-Between Bridge have been completed.

Brisbane is the centre of the fastest growing region in Australia. Record investment over recent years in public transport has resulted in more than 66% growth in combined bus and ferry patronage since 2003-04. This was achieved by: • an unprecedented program of acquisition of environmentally friendly air conditioned and wheelchair

accessible buses • acquiring additional CityCats, bringing the total fleet to 19 • the rollout of Bus Upgrade Zones (BUZ), the Blue CityGlider and the Maroon CityGlider.

Major initiatives in 2013-14 include: • delivering 90 new air conditioned and wheelchair accessible rigid equivalent buses to continue the

acquisition of new buses to ensure that Council's fleet is one of the most modern in Australia • completing and opening the Eagle Farm Bus Depot • continuing the Better Bikeways 4 Suburbs program to provide $120 million in new bikeway

infrastructure over four years to improve bikeway links and connections to Brisbane's top employment areas

• replacement of CityCats consistent with an appropriate asset management plan • continued funding of the new free CityHopper, Brisbane's first free inner city ferry service • roll out of a new ferry terminal in Milton • upgrading the Bulimba ferry terminal • upgrading existing terminals following the January 2011 flood • continuing operation of the Blue CityGlider and the Maroon CityGlider Bus Rapid Transit Routes • continuing the upgrade of Disability Discrimination Act (2002) bus stops and ferry terminals.

Outcome 2.1 Promoting Active Transport

Outcome description

Reducing congestion and encouraging sustainable travel through the promotion of cycling and walking as healthy and environmentally sustainable alternatives to car travel.

Brisbane residents who embrace active travel alternatives are not only reducing congestion, they are also helping Brisbane to become a healthy, sustainable and accessible city.

Where we are now

As a result of the record $100 million investment in new bikeway infrastructure between 2008 and 2012, Council has provided missing links and expanded Brisbane's shared pathway network to ensure Brisbane residents have access to a world class and connected network to enable commuter and recreational active travel.

In addition, Council is working with schools and with the community to provide them with the information they need to adopt sustainable travel solutions in order to reduce traffic congestion and improve the sustainability of our city.

Provision and take up of active transport alternatives contribute to the following "Our Shared Vision: Living in Brisbane 2026" Citywide Outcomes:

• Green and active transport • Active and healthy communities • Cleaner sustainable energy use.

Where we want to be

The Brisbane Active Transport Strategy 2012-2026 sets out Council's vision for supporting active transport in Brisbane. The strategy provides a targeted approach to promoting cycling and walking as an attractive means of transport and recreation. It includes provision of an interconnected network of bikeways and shared paths to ensure that everyone has access to safe and convenient walking and cycling facilities.


- 55 -

Strategy 2.1.1 Promote Sustainable Transport

Encourage people to travel actively in order to reduce congestion and support a sustainable city.

Service 2.1.1.1 Promote Sustainable Travel Choices

This service will continue to promote the uptake of active travel and provide schools and the community with the information needed to change travel behaviours and help reduce traffic congestion.

The majority of family car trips to school are less than three kilometres. The Active School Travel Program (AST) encourages a shift towards walking, riding, public transport and car-pooling as ways for children to travel to and from school. The benefits are twofold. Firstly, the program relieves traffic congestion around schools making the road environment around schools safer for both commuters and students. Secondly, the program encourages healthier and more active school communities as well as increasing the amenity of neighbourhoods around schools.

In addition to the 20 schools participating in the Active School Travel program in 2013, the program will continue to support schools that have previously participated in the program by assisting them to embed active travel behaviour. In 2013-14, the AST program will be expanded to include secondary schools.

Both the Brisbane Active Transport Strategy and Brisbane Bikeway Network Plan were updated in 2011-12. The new Brisbane Active Transport Strategy 2012-2026 provides the strategic framework for encouraging increased community uptake of active transport options.

A new aspect is the Active Communities Program where improvements are being made in ten suburbs to make walking and cycling easier and safer. The focus is on improving access to schools, public transport, shops and community facilities.

Outcome 2.2 Public Transport

Outcome description

Providing high quality public transport services through the provision of a modern bus and ferry fleet, accessible public transport infrastructure and a focus on customer service. Contribute to the reduction of road congestion, increase options for sustainable and environmentally friendly transport and increase ease of travelling around Brisbane.

Where we are now

Brisbane City Council maintains its unique position as the only Australian council to providing funding for and operating its own public transport fleet. Having built more than 500 new air conditioned and wheelchair accessible buses in the previous four year term, Council operates a fleet of more than 1200 buses, the second largest bus fleet in Australia, along with the iconic CityCat and CityFerry fleets.

Although the planning and funding of public transport is a Queensland government responsibility, undertaken by the TransLink Division of the Department of Transport and Main Roads, Council continues to work collaboratively with the Queensland government to plan, fund and operate Brisbane's bus and ferry services.

Council's investment in public transport has enabled record fleet growth and more frequent services, with patronage of bus and ferry services in Brisbane growing by more than 66 percent since 2003-04. Council will continue to make significant investments in our bus and ferry networks in order to maintain an efficient and effective network.

As well as delivering new buses, Council will continue to work with TransLink to plan an integrated network, promote public transport initiatives such as the high frequency BUZ and CityGlider routes and facilitate the development of key public transport infrastructure.

The 2011 flood caused significant damage to ferry infrastructure. The terminal upgrade program will replace temporary structures installed after the flood. This program will be progressively rolled out over the next two years.

This Outcome contributes to the achievement of the following "Our Shared Vision: Living in Brisbane 2026"

Citywide Outcomes: • Green and active transport • Cleaner sustainable energy use • Effective growth management.

Where we want to be

Public transport is frequent, convenient, reliable, safe and easy to use while providing a high level of access to facilities and services in Brisbane, reducing the need to use a car and maintaining accessibility and liveability.

Services meet the needs of the community, encourage increased use of public transport and are capable of accommodating patronage growth.


- 58 -

Council is committed to upgrading the city's bus and ferry network to provide improved access for people with disabilities. All future upgrades and delivery of new public transport assets are to comply with or exceed the minimum requirements for public transport in the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA), Disability Standards for Accessible Transport (DSAPT) 2002 and the Disability Standards 2010 (Premises Standards).

Strategy 2.2.1 Providing a High Quality Ferry Service

Providing river travel along the Brisbane River including the iconic CityCat service and Brisbane's first free inner city ferry service, the CityHopper. The CityHopper is designed to make Brisbane a tourist friendly destination and complements the free City Loop service.

Council's passenger ferries are a city icon. They provide an enjoyable and unique service for commuter, tourist and recreational travel. They assist in reducing car travel and congestion and are an important part of the city's public transport network.

The CityCat fleet has grown from eight vessels when the service commenced in 1996 to 19 vessels, with the commencement of the Spirit of Brisbane in service in 2011. Funding has been allocated for two additional CityCat vessels to be delivered over the next three years in recognition that as the oldest vessels in the CityCat fleet reach retirement age an appropriate asset disposal program will be implemented.

Service 2.2.1.1 Enhancing the Network through New Infrastructure

Council maintains a fleet of monohull CityFerries. These ferries provide cross river services at selected locations as well as the Inner City ferry service.

The 2011 flood caused significant damage to infrastructure across the ferry network. Temporary structures were installed at seven terminals and the upgrade of the West End ferry terminal was fast tracked so services could recommence as quickly as possible. Council continues to work towards the upgrade of all ferry terminals damaged during the 2011 floods.

Having delivered new terminals at Northshore Hamilton and Teneriffe, Council will construct a new ferry terminal at Milton and complete a full upgrade of the Bulimba ferry terminal.

To improve safety and security, Council is progressively installing CCTV at ferry terminals. The activities in this service are funded by projects.

Service 2.2.2.2 Support Bus Services

Brisbane City Council is the major provider of bus services in Brisbane. Due to the investment made by Council, Brisbane Transport now operates the second largest fleet in Australia, with more than 1,200 buses.

A key objective is to continue to provide services to enable more Brisbane residents to utilise public transport thereby reducing congestion. To achieve this, Council will continue to provide a significant financial contribution through a Community Service Obligation towards the operating costs of Brisbane Transport. This funding is in addition to, and distinct from, the funding Brisbane Transport receives from TransLink for operating services.

Council will also continue to operate the very successful free CBD Loop and the Spring Hill Loop services. In addition, Council, in conjunction with the Queensland government, will continue to fund the operating cost of the Blue CityGlider, Brisbane's Bus Rapid Transit Service between W est End and Newstead. In addition, Council will fully fund the successful new Maroon CityGlider which also serves Brisbane's most popular sports, entertainment and food precincts including Caxton Street, Suncorp Stadium, South Bank and The Gabba, with a service between Ashgrove and Stones Corner. Since its introduction in February 2013 the service has already carried more than 215,000 passengers.

Outcome 2.3 Transport Network

Outcome description

Brisbane is developing a quality transport network that supports safe and efficient movement of people and freight.


- 62 -

Where we are now

Brisbane's transport network is extensive and Council is responsible for the vast majority of this network. Council controls more than 5,600 kilometres of road within the Brisbane Local Government Area, while the Queensland government controls just 170 kilometres of road.

This presents a unique funding challenge for our city. W hile the Federal and State governments collect a range of taxes and charges from Brisbane motorists, including fuel excise and GST on fuel and motor vehicle registration, this revenue does not flow to Brisbane City Council for the specific purpose of maintaining and upgrading our city's road network. This means that costly road and transport network improvements within Brisbane must ultimately be funded from general rates revenue or alternative financing arrangements.

Furthermore, as a capital city with a growing economy, Brisbane's road and transport network is used daily by residents of other local government areas who do not contribute financially to the cost of maintaining and upgrading the network.

This growth means the current transport system is under increasing pressure. The community has concerns about levels of congestion on the network and the impacts of future population on traffic growth. Failure to invest in the road network has severe economic and accessibility impacts.

Where we want to be

Continued investment in Brisbane's road and transport network is made through cooperation and partnerships, both with other levels of government and the private sector, to ensure that our city's key infrastructure meets future challenges.

The road network provides for safe and efficient movement of people and goods on the road network by the most appropriate modes and routes. The network has sufficient capacity to cope with the transport demands of the city, provides access to destinations and enhances the liveability of the city. The network is well managed and quickly adapts to traffic incidents. This keeps Brisbane moving. Projects and services are highly integrated and deliver best value for the city.

This outcome contributes to the "Our Shared Vision: Living in Brisbane 2026" Citywide Outcome 'Effective

Road Network' and delivers Corporate Plan objectives. Strategy 2.3.1 Plan and Design the Network

Plan and design the transport network using principles of transport planning and asset and financial management.

Service 2.3.1.1 Plan and Design the Network

The objective of this service is to plan and design a quality transport network using principles of transport planning as well as asset and financial management.

In delivering a quality transport network, the key activities under this service include: • monitoring and communicating the updated Transport Plan • integrated transport network planning and development • prioritisation and detailed planning and design of transport projects • developing corridor plans for designated transport corridors • integrating major developments and transport projects into the wider transport network.

Planning and design of the city's transport network will also include consideration of land use, economic, environmental and community lifestyle issues. The program will also integrate Brisbane's transport network with state and federal transport networks.

Strategy 2.3.2 Build the Transport Network

Build a transport network that is attractive, safe, enhances accessibility and reduces congestion.

Service 2.3.2.1 Build the Transport Network

This service aims to build an improved road and transport network across the city through a range of key projects, including: • TransApex • open level crossing replacements • major road construction • major intersection upgrades.

A quality transport network relies on the delivery of key physical transport assets in accordance with the needs of a capital city in a fast growing region.

TransApex includes a number of significant transport projects, which together, will deliver the biggest boost to Brisbane's accessibility in many decades. CLEM7 has delivered significant travel time savings and reduced congestion on surface routes such as the Story Bridge. The Go Between Bridge has reduced inner city traffic congestion and will cater for expected growth in W est End and South Brisbane. It has also become an important inner city pedestrian, cyclist and public transport link.


- 64 -

Legacy W ay is the 4.6km tolled road tunnel connecting the Centenary Motorway at Toowong with the Inner City Bypass (ICB) at Kelvin Grove. Opening in 2015, the tunnel will relieve congestion on Brisbane's arterial roads and improve cross city connectivity. The tunnel will cut travel times from the Centenary Motorway to the ICB by up to twenty minutes and reduce congestion on Milton Road and Coronation Drive and benefit local streets. The 2013-14 year will see further progress on the construction of Legacy W ay.

Another key component of this service is the replacement of two open level crossings with overpasses in partnership with the Queensland government. These major projects are being delivered on an accelerated timeframe and are funded on an equal cost sharing basis between Council and the State government.

Service 2.3.2.2 Improve Local Transport Networks

To improve access to major transport networks throughout Brisbane, and to improve safety in local areas, a quality transport network requires construction of local transport assets.

To achieve this objective, the key activities of this service include construction of: • footpaths • intersections • corridor upgrades • minor road projects • school safety projects • local area traffic management (LATM) projects.

Funding for footpaths will be distributed evenly between each ward through the W ard Footpath and Parks Trust Fund. Priorities for footpath construction will be determined by the local Councillor following consultation with property owners.

Provision of new footpaths will be enhanced by the additional funding sourced from infringement notices and parking meter revenue.

The performance of the network will be enhanced through a project to modernise and improve reliability of the ageing traffic signals network communication equipment.

The activities of this service are funded by projects.

Strategy 2.3.3 Maintain and Improve the Network

Maintain and improve the network using strategic asset management principles.

Service 2.3.3.1 Maintain and Improve the Network

The Moving Brisbane Program is responsible for a large portfolio of transport network assets. Strategic asset management principles are applied to ensure the most effective delivery and financial outcomes are achieved for Council. A best value approach is used to ensure the most cost effective delivery of the program.


- 67 -

The key activities under this service include: • rehabilitation, maintenance and improvements to roads, kerb and channel, bridges, culverts, footpaths,

line markings, signs, bikeways and public lighting • strategic management of assets • maintaining a database of duct and fibre network elements.

This budget will build upon the previous increases in road resurfacing and footpath and bikeway reconstruction so that our transport network continues to deliver a high quality experience for users. Rehabilitation of footpaths will be bolstered by additional funding sourced from infringement notices and parking meter revenue.

The Neighbourhood Plus Program continues to improve the appearance of Brisbane's roadsides with: • additional grass cutting on major arterial and minor roads • additional roadside and Brisbane Improvement and Suburban Centre Improvement Project

landscaping.

The commitment to providing additional grass cuts remains, with the frequency of grass cutting managed taking account of weather conditions.

2013-14 will see the Lord Mayor's commitment to $60 million of road resurfacing per annum met through continuing investment in road network resurfacing across the city and suburbs to help deliver smoother, safer roads.

During 2012-13 Council carried out a successful trial of 'green cement' (cement which makes use of recycled materials). This cement will now be used on bikeway and footpath projects.
