Transport
Purpose
 To detail the transport provisions of Brisbane City Plan 2014

Part 3 – Strategic Framework
Theme 4: Brisbane’s highly effective transport
and infrastructure
Sets out the transport infrastructure to
support:
• the 2031 settlement pattern
• safe and efficient movement for all
modes
• mode share targets of the
Transport Plan for Brisbane
Part 4 – Priority Infrastructure Plan
(PIP)
•
•
•
•
Transport network planning provides basis for the PIP
road hierarchy
bicycle network
Projects identified are those required to accommodate expected
growth 15-20 years
• Plans for trunk infrastructure now include
• roads - intersection upgrades
• pathways - land contribution for ‘offset’
PIP – Long Term Corridor Plan
• Protects corridors along major
roads to enable road widening
• Applies to all major roads
• Does not secure land
• May seek that development is
set back (condition)
• Formalises Brisbane City
Council’s approach
Part 6 - Zones
New Transport infrastructure zone precinct
• Development to provide for the infrastructure that supports the functioning of the
transport system including:
•
railway infrastructure
•
busway infrastructure
•
ferry terminals, moorings and maintenance areas
•
major road and cycle infrastructure not included in the road reserve.
Part 7 – Neighbourhood Plans
• Transport components are now in:
• bicycle network overlay
• road hierarchy overlay
• streetscape hierarchy
• priority infrastructure plan
• Some detailed road planning remains
• Specific road design, including road widening
• Infrastructure that is not ‘trunk’ and not included
in the PIP
Transport Network
• Transport network and policy outcomes are set out in the:
• Road hierarchy overlay code and map
• Bicycle network overlay code and map
• Design requirements for transport network set out in:
• Infrastructure design code and PSP
• Subdivision code and PSP
Part 8 – Bicycle Network Overlay
• Protects the network and
seeks contributions
where appropriate
• Includes RiverWalk
Bicycle network classification
Definition
Primary cycle route
A high capacity cycle route that:
(a) provides for all cyclists, including high speed commuters;
(b) links residential areas to major employment centres, regional activity centres and other key destinations,
including public transport, educational, cultural and recreation facilities.
Secondary cycle route
A bicycle route that provides linkages between:
(a) residential areas and primary routes;
(b) suburban destinations such as schools, suburban centres, cultural activity areas and recreational
facilities.
Local cycle route
A bicycle route that provides a link from individual properties or destinations to primary and secondary route
networks
Part 8 – Road Hierarchy Overlay
 Provide for the safe and efficient operation of the
road network
 Road hierarchy is linked:
 streetscape hierarchy
 critical infrastructure movement network
 air and noise quality corridors
What’s new?
 Roads are multi modal corridors that provide for all users
 Includes freight network
 New definition for district roads
Road Hierarchy Overlay Map
Freight network
classification
Definition
Primary freight
route
a direct road connections for non-standard vehicles
between regionally significant industrial areas and
inter-regional destinations
Primary freight
access routes
the connection between primary freight routes and
freight dependant development
Road classification
Definition
Motorway
as defined by the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994
Arterial roads
provide intra-city connections between the major
designations within Brisbane and surrounding areas
include the principal regional activity centres and major
employment areas
Suburban roads
connect arterial roads through and around suburbs
District roads
carry through traffic between suburbs and provide
access between minor roads, local centres and
suburban and arterial roads
Neighbourhood
roads
cater for local traffic and provides for connections
between individual properties and local destinations
Local roads
provide for access to individual properties and
connections to neighbourhood and district roads
Part 9 - Infrastructure Design Code
• Ensures that development provides transport infrastructure that is designed
and constructed to:
• be consistent with and links to existing transport networks
• be safe
• accommodate utilities
• reduce impacts of traffic
• meet Brisbane City Council’s standard
• Infrastructure design PSP provides the design detail for transport
infrastructure
Infrastructure Design PSP
 Provides clear guidance on design and construction standards for:
 road corridors
 pathways
 Design standards integrate all requirements in one place
 Standards have been reviewed to be consistent with Austroads and DTMR
standards
Part 9 – Subdivision Code
 Ensures that new lots:
 have appropriate transport infrastructure
 links to existing transport networks
 Transport infrastructure is built to Council standards
 Design standards for transport infrastructure
 Infrastructure design PSP
 Design standards for property access, circulations serving and parking:
 Transport, access, parking and servicing PSP
Part 9 – TAPS Code
• Requirements - dependent on scale of development, traffic
generated and development location for:
• property access
• bicycle parking and end of trip facilities
• car parking
• servicing
• freight dependent development
• connections to other transport networks
• Detailed design requirements and parking rates in TAPS PSP
Schedule 6 – TAPS PSP
 Traffic impact assessment provides clearer direction – scale of TIA linked
to traffic generated
 Change in parking requirements - different approaches dependent on
location, e.g.:
 reductions City core, City frame and close to major transport
 reduced for other uses (e.g. shop, offices)
 increase in visitor parking for units in suburbs
 Bicycles – storage and trip facilities, requires greater rates than QDC
 Waste removal requirements now in Refuse PSP
Summary
• Transport requirements included at a high level in the Strategic
Framework
• Includes mode share targets for Transport Plan for Brisbane
• Requirements for trunk infrastructure included in Priority
infrastructure plan
• Two new overlays to address transport network and policy
outcomes
• Infrastructure design code, Transport, access, parking and
servicing code and PSP include design requirements and
provisions developments need to address
