Program 2 – Moving Brisbane
Moving Brisbane
Program Goal
Brisbane’s transport network enables efficient and sustainable movement of people, freight and services.
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 2008-2026 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 n etworks. From this planning, a rolling
program of projects will be developed and budgeted for. Also $120 million will be invested between 201 3
and 2016 to upgrade and expand the city’s bikeways and associated services.
Council's infrastructure investment has upgraded a significant number of the city's highest priority road
network links in recent years. Completion of the Telegraph Road and Robinson Road Open Level Crossing
Replacement projects will significantly improve transport connectivity in the northe rn suburbs. 2014-15 will
see progress on projects such as the Telegraph Road Corridor Upgrade, Wynnum Road Corridor Stage 1
upgrade and the Kingsford Smith Drive upgrade.
The TransApex vision is nearing completion with construction of Legacy Way to be completed in 2014 -15.
The Airport Link project as well as CLEM7 and the Go Between Bridge have already been completed.
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 11 additional CityCats
•
the rollout of Bus Upgrade Zones (BUZ), the Blue CityGlider and the Maroon CityGlider.
Major initiatives in 2014-15 include:
•
delivering 60 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
•
continuing the Better Bikeways 4 Brisbane program to provide $120 million in new bikeway infrastructure
over four years to improve bikeway links and connections to Brisbane's top employment areas
•
continued funding of the free CityHopper service, Brisbane's first free inner city ferry service
•
construction of a new ferry terminal in Milton
•
upgrading of the Bulimba ferry terminal
•
upgrading of existing terminals following the 2011 Brisbane floods
•
continuing operation of the Blue CityGlider and the Maroon CityGlider Bus Rapid Transit Routes
•
continuing the upgrade of bus stops and ferry terminals to provide a more accessible public transport
network and to meet requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA)
•
completion of the Telegraph Road and Robinson Road Open Level Crossing Replacement projects
•

Outcome 2.1 Promoting Active Transport
Outcome description
Reducing congestion on roads 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 a re 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 and
the current $120 million investment between 2012 and 2016, 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.
Council also launched the Cycling Brisbane program in March 2014 which aims to encourage people of all
ages and abilities to cycle more often and utilise the extensive bikeway network which Council has
developed.
Provision and take up of active transport alternatives contribute to achieving the Brisbane Vision.
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 cycling and walking facilities.
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.
- 52 -
Program 2 – Moving Brisbane
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 12 new schools participating in the AST program in 2014, the program will continue to
support 37 schools that have previously participated in the program by assisting them to embed active travel
behaviour.
Both the Brisbane Active Transport Strategy and Brisbane Bikeway Network Plan were updated in 2011 -12.
The Network Plan is currently being further updated to support the Brisbane City Plan 2014. The Brisbane
Active Transport Strategy 2012-2026 provides the strategic framework for encouraging increased community
uptake of active transport options.
Cycling Brisbane, Council’s new travel behaviour change program is designed to increase the number of
people who cycle, by providing them with information, support and incentives.
Cycling Brisbane will continue to provide a membership-based initiative designed to promote cycling
facilities, infrastructure and encourage people of all ages and abilities to cycle more often.
To complement the online element, the Active Communities program will provide a localised approach to
encourage walking and cycling. Following community engagement, improvements are being made in ten
suburbs to make walking and cycling easier and safer. The focus is on improving and then promoting access
to schools, public transport, shops and community facilities.
Across Brisbane, the Bike Skills Training program is providing courses to give people the confidence to get
back on their bike or to cycle in traffic. This program will be expanded in 2014 - 15 to provide combined bike
skills training courses for parents and their children.

Program 2 – Moving Brisbane
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 Aus tralian council to provide funding for and
operate 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 Mai n Roads, Council continues to
work collaboratively with the Queensland Government to plan, fund and operate Brisbane's bus and ferry
services and 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 Brisbane floods 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 Council term.
This outcome contributes to the achievement of the following goals of the Brisbane Vision :
•
Our accessible, connected city
•
Our clean, green city
•
Our well-designed, subtropical city.
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. Brisbane bus, rail and ferry public transport services are integrated and provide a high level of
service to the community.
Services meet the needs of the community, encourage increased use of public transport and are capable of
accommodating patronage growth.
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 the
requirements for public transport in the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA), Disability Standards for
Accessible Transport 2002 (DSAPT) 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 CityHopper,
Brisbane's first free inner-city ferry service. The CityHopper is designed to make Brisbane a tourist friendly
destination and complements the free City Loop bus service.
Council's passenger ferries and CityCats 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.
- 55 -
Program 2 – Moving Brisbane
Service 2.2.1.1 Enhancing the Network through New Infrastructure
Council maintains a fleet of monohull City Ferries. These ferries provide cross river services at selected
locations as well as the CityHopper 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. The University of Queensland St Lucia, QUT Gardens
Point, Sydney Street, Holman Street, Regatta, North Quay and Maritime Museum ferry terminals will be
upgraded with permanent structures featuring greater flood resilience, DDA com pliance and improve the
efficiency of the terminals.
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, Hawthorne and Bretts Wharf ferry te rminals.
To improve safety and security, Council is progressively installing CCTV at ferry terminals. The activities in
this service are funded by projects.

Outcome 2.3 Transport Network
Outcome description
Brisbane is developing a quality transport network that supports safe and efficient movement of people and
freight.
Where we are now
Brisbane's road transport network is extensive and Council is responsible for the vast majority of this
network. Council controls more than 5600 kilometres of road within the Brisbane Local Government Area,
compared to the Queensland Government’s control of 170 kilometres.
The strong and continuous economic and population growth of Brisbane places pres sure on the need for
Council to maintain and upgrade the transport network to meet community needs.
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 futur e population on traffic growth. Failure to
invest in the road network has severe economic and accessibility impacts.
Whilst funding contributions are received from the Federal and Queensland governments for some transport
projects, Council funds the major components of upgrading our city’s road network. This means that our
road and transport networks are substantially funded from general rates revenue.
Where we want to be
Continued investment in Brisbane's road and transport network is made through co -operation 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.
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.
- 59 -
Program 2 – Moving Brisbane
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, value for money and sound asset and financial management.
In delivering a quality transport network, the key activities under this service include:
•
monitoring and updating the road and freight network plans
•
integrated transport network planning and city development activity
•
prioritisation and detailed planning and design of transport projects
•
developing plans for designated transport corridors
•
reviewing and updating traffic and transport models
•
undertaking concept planning and design for future network upgrades.
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 Queensland and Federal transport networks.

Strategy 2.3.2 Build the Transport Network
Build a transport network that is 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, are delivering 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 West End and South Brisbane. It has also
become an important inner city pedestrian, cyclist and public transport link.
- 60 -
Program 2 – Moving Brisbane
Legacy Way 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.
Another key component of this service is the replacement of two open level crossings with overpass es in

Service 2.3.2.2 Improve Local Transport Networks
To improve access to major transport networks throughout Brisbane, minimise traffic congestion, 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 Ward Footpat h 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 funding sourced from infringement notices and parking meter
revenue.
The performance of the network will be enhanced through a project to modernise, improve the reliability and
safety of the ageing traffic signals network hardware and communication equipment.
Corridor upgrades, such as Telegraph Road Corridor, will support growth particularly in the outer suburbs of
our city, improving access, reducing congestion and travel times for road users, and enhancing pedestrian
and cycle facilities.
The activities of this service are funded by projects.

Program 2 – Moving Brisbane
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 these assets are managed appropriately and that maintenance
and renewal activities are prioritised utilising the most optimised approach. A best value approach is used to
ensure the most cost effective delivery of the program.
The key activities under this service include:
•
renewal, maintenance and improvements to roads, kerb and channel, bridges, culverts, footpaths,
linemarkings, signs, bikeways and public lighting
•
strategic management of assets
•
systematic condition and risk assessment of assets.
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 continue to benefit from infringement notices and parking meter revenue.
Enhanced expenditure continues to improve the appearance of Brisbane's roadsides with:
•
additional grass cutting on major arterial and minor roads
•
additional roadside and Brisbane Improvement Projects and Suburban Centre Improvement Projects
landscaping.
2014-15 funding will maintain the Lord Mayor's commitment to $60 million of road resurfacing per annum
through continuing investment in the road network across the city and suburbs to help deliver smoother,
safer roads.
Council is committed to innovation in management of its asset base and works with peak Australian and
international bodies in researching and trialling cost effective and high -performance products, materials and
construction methodologies.
