Annual Plan and Budget 2017-18 Including Forward Estimates 2018-19 to 2020-21 Presented and submitted to the Council on Wednesday, 14 June 2017 by the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor of Brisbane (Councillor Graham Quirk) Program 1 – Transport for Brisbane Transport for Brisbane Program goal Transport for Brisbane will deliver Australia’s most modern public transport including the Brisbane Metro. This will enable efficient and sustainable movement of people. Program description Council is focused on developing and maintaining Brisbane as a liveable and easy city to get around. Effective alternative transport options provide lifestyle choices for the community, opportunities to reduce congestion and deliver economic, social and environmental benefits. Council aims to achieve the provision of these alternative travel options through investment in public and active transport and by adopting and encouraging use of new technologies. Between 2012 and 2016, a record $120 million was invested to upgrade and expand the city’s bikeways and associated services. A further $100 million will be invested between 2016 and 2020 to deliver continued improvements to Brisbane’s active transport network. Continued investment in modern, environmentally friendly, air-conditioned and accessible buses as well as the continued success of the popular Bus Upgrade Zones (BUZ), the Blue CityGlider and the Maroon CityGlider has ensured Transport for Brisbane carries significantly more passengers than the entire SEQ City train network. Council invests in bus, CityCat and ferry networks to deliver quality services. Planning is well underway for the Brisbane Metro to ease Brisbane’s busway and inner city network congestion and increase suburban service offerings. Council will continue to invest in growing Brisbane’s transport networks and services into the future. Major initiatives in 2017-18 include: • • • • • • • • • providing a Council public transport operating subsidy of $123.9 million delivering 60 new air-conditioned and accessible rigid equivalent buses, including 10 new 18 metre articulated buses continuing the $100 million program for bikeway infrastructure over four years to create connections in Brisbane's top employment areas and improve bikeway links between Kangaroo Point to Indooroopilly and Toowong to Woolloongabba sustaining the growth of the Cycling Brisbane program delivering detailed planning for the construction of future Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) compliant ferry terminals ongoing upgrades of Council’s bus stops to provide a more accessible public transport network continuing refurbishment and full overhaul of two Generation 1 CityCats design and procure a new CityCat investigate and test refurbishment options associated with the end of operational life of the Generation 2 CityCats.

This helps to reduce traffic congestion and contributes to a healthier, sustainable and more accessible city. Where we are now The Brisbane Active Transport Strategy 2012-2026 encourages active transport as part of Council’s balanced approach to reducing Brisbane’s traffic congestion by promoting an active and healthy lifestyle. The strategy provides a targeted approach to promoting cycling and walking as healthy, sustainable and attractive means of transport and recreation. The strategy is supported by the Brisbane Bikeway Network Plan, which caters for future population and employment growth as identified in Brisbane City Plan 2014. Brisbane’s active transport network has been expanded as a result of Council’s record $220 million investment in bikeway infrastructure between 2008 and 2016. Through the Better Bikeways 4 Brisbane program, Council is investing a further $100 million between 2016 and 2020 to deliver five major corridors and more than 35 suburban bikeways. In addition to these significant investments in active transport infrastructure, Council delivers a range of lighting, bike parking, signage and other projects to improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians across the city. Council will continue to review and improve our active transport network to ensure the needs of our growing city are met and future investment is aligned with Council’s policy directions and goals. Council delivers two targeted behaviour change programs, Cycling Brisbane and Active School Travel; working closely with schools and the community to provide the tools and resources needed to actively travel easily and more often. Council continues to work with the Queensland Government in planning, delivering and maintaining active transport infrastructure. Council provides a public bike hire scheme within the inner city to encourage short trips by bicycle. CityCycle is part of Council's plan to get people riding, reduce traffic congestion and relieve parking pressure in the inner city. With up to 2000 bikes and 150 convenient locations, CityCycle is an affordable, healthy and convenient way to connect people to the places they live, work, play and study. Stations are conveniently located near key bus, train and ferry stations in the inner city so people can leave the car at home. Since the scheme’s establishment, more than 1.8 million trips have been taken on CityCycle. Recent years have seen double-digit growth in ridership of the scheme. Where we want to be Council will continue to deliver an interconnected network of pathways and bikeways, associated facilities and a range of initiatives to encourage people of all ages and abilities to travel actively as part of an active, healthy and sustainable lifestyle. Council will continue to grow CityCycle patronage and customer satisfaction with the scheme as a cost-effective, enjoyable way to commute to work and education. Council will encourage the community to discover Brisbane as a New World City along with its attractions by bike as part of an active and healthy lifestyle. Strategy 1.1.1 Promote Sustainable Travel Choices 3 Program 1 – Transport for Brisbane Encourage people to travel actively in order to reduce congestion and support a clean, healthy and sustainable city. Service 1.1.1.1 Promote Sustainable Travel Choices This service will continue to promote active travel and provide schools and the community with the resources needed to change travel behaviours and help reduce traffic congestion. The Active School Travel (AST) program encourages children and their carers to walk, ride, scooter, take public transport and car-pool to or from school. Benefits include: • • • • reducing traffic around schools, making the road environment cleaner and safer for students and residents encouraging healthier and more active school communities contributing to cleaner neighbourhoods with reduced carbon emissions increasing the road safety knowledge of children by giving them the practical skills and confidence to actively travel more often. In 2016, the Active School Travel program successfully reduced the number of single-family car journeys to participating schools by 25% and increased walking rates by 20%. In 2017, the program will work with 47 schools across the city to embed active travel behaviour. Cycling Brisbane is Council’s program to encourage people of all ages and abilities to cycle more often. Whether for transport, leisure or sport, Cycling Brisbane provides the tools, incentives and information to encourage residents to get on their bike and enjoy Brisbane’s bikeway infrastructure. Cycling Brisbane is a free membership-based initiative providing discounts and incentives to promote and overcome barriers to riding. The program works in partnership with over 50 supporting businesses and organisations. Since the program launched in early 2014, Cycling Brisbane’s membership numbers have grown to more than 14,800. Through a dedicated website, e-newsletter, social media presence and attendance at events, members and the wider community are becoming more aware of Brisbane’s bikeways. Cycling Brisbane will continue to provide engagement opportunities for residents and visitors to provide feedback and find out about riding in and around Brisbane. This initiative also contributes towards a number of objectives outlined in the Brisbane Active Transport Strategy 2012-2026.

Operating Expense Revenue Anticipated 2016-17 $000 Proposed 2017-18 $000 3,830 9,347 3,581 9,185 Outcome 1.2 Public Transport Outcome description High quality public transport services are delivered through the provision of a modern bus and ferry fleet, and accessible public transport infrastructure with a focus on customer service. Public transport helps to reduce road congestion, contribute to the city’s environmental goals, a nd make it easier and more enjoyable to travel around Brisbane. Where we are now Council maintains a unique position among Australian councils by providing funding for and operating its own public transport fleet. Council operates one of the largest and most modern bus fleets in Australia, along with the city’s iconic ferry fleet. Council’s CityFerries, CityHopper and CityCats service 22 kilometres along the Brisbane River from Northshore Hamilton to St Lucia. With 25 ferry terminals throughout the network, the service provides an enjoyable and unique experience for commuters, tourists and recreational travellers. The free CityHopper service is designed to make inner-city Brisbane a tourist-friendly destination and complements the free City Loop bus service. During the previous four-year term, 300 rigid equivalent air-conditioned and wheelchair accessible buses were added to the fleet, making Council’s bus fleet 100% DDA compliant and one of the youngest in the country. A further 60 rigid equivalent buses have been delivered during 2016-17, in addition to the substantial investment in planning for the Brisbane Metro to assist in combating traffic congestion. Although the funding of public transport is a Queensland Government responsibility, undertaken by the TransLink Division of the Department of Transport and Main Roads, Council is committed to collaborate with the Queensland Government to plan, fund and operate Brisbane's bus and ferry services. Council also makes a significant investment to maintain an efficient and effective bus and ferry network. 6 Program 1 – Transport for Brisbane Council is undertaking a rolling program of works across Brisbane to upgrade bus stops to provide improved accessibility. It is part of Council’s Brisbane Vision 2031 to provide a safe, accessible and wellconnected city for everyone. By the end of 2016-17, Council anticipates that more than 1800 bus stops will have been upgraded under the Bus Stop Accessibility Improvement Program. Where we want to be Public transport services provide viable, attractive and sustainable alternatives to using private vehicles. Brisbane’s public transport will be frequent, convenient, reliable, safe and easy to use while continuing to increase the level of access to facilities and services in Brisbane. Accessible bus and ferry services continue to enhance Brisbane’s liveability. Council remains committed to upgrading the city's bus and ferry network to provide improved access for everyone. Future upgrades and new public transport assets aim to meet the requirements for public transport outlined in the DDA and associated disability standards. Council will continue to work with the Queensland Government to plan and deliver an extensive, connected and integrated public transport network, as well as invest in infrastructure, where appropriate, to improve levels of service and encourage greater public transport use. There will be a continuation to leverage partnership opportunities from bus stop infrastructure to assist in funding improvements. In 2017-18, Council will continue to support the cost of providing bus CityCat and ferry services. Strategy 1.2.1 Providing High Quality Ferry Services Council will continue to subsidise and operate CityCat, CityFerry and the free inner-city, CityHopper ferry services to provide high frequency, high quality public transport services on the Brisbane River.
