Neighbourhood plans
Transport Position Paper
- Reviewing existing road network, AT, PT, freight networks
- Travel demand patterns - engaing DR to do JTW analysis, gis visualisation and teaching me how to do so
- Network opportunities/needs
- Related State projects
- Review of budgeted items
- JTW data analysis to identify current trends and inform vision outcomes
Program partner
Comment on strategies, review concepts, public domain, plans feasiblity
-
Site visits, repping and discussing TPO matters, workshops
Projects:
- Eight Mile Plains
- Nathan, Salisbury Marooka
- Bridgeman Downs
- Sandgate (water front location)
Infrastructure identified
- Roundabout park access improvements
- Intersection upgrades to Improved access to residential/commercial areas
- structure planning road network for new sub divisions that align with best neighbourhood precicnt design - wakable, permeable, good active transport infrastructure that provides access to destinations and connecting public transport
- identifying need for potential road corridor upgradea based on increased intensity of land use (res, employment, visitors) - modal priority to first enable more sustainable transport
- green corridor, precinct improvements
Stakeholder Consultation
- Research report development - internal
- Working group meetings with cross divsions - NEWS, CPED, Parks, Community groups
- Developing transport responses to community consultation feedback on draft strategies, vision, actions, potential projects - make sure suggestions are well principled, feasible, work with existing planned services/infrastructure. Careful to communicate feedback, not committing as political risk but showing appreciation for their input
- Attending workshops with community groups in process of developing neighbourhood plan
Planning briefs - firm strategic requirements to delivery office , gathering stakeholder input from different teams including modelling, network operations, public and active transport
-
-
-
Correspondance

Feasibility studies (Corridor/intersection)
- Brookes St - bike lane and network re-routing
- Nudgee Rd
- Dawson Rd
- Lytton Rd
- Hamilton/Webster - signal roundabout

Participate at workshops to in options development, project strategy, design review, risk identification
Review planning report, design reports and layouts, modelling reports, cost estimates, staging plans

State projects
Development Tia's. EDQ, DE
- EDQ: Carseldine village, Bowen HIlls development, North shore development over industrial sight
- DE; new schools, wanting to put new safe pedestrian infrastructure in but with lax road investigation e.g. raised interseciton but without adjust surrounding road environment
Translink studies comment
- bus-rail interchanges
- feedback to improve solution, advise on other opportunities/constraints, raiuse issue with negative impacts to council community and assets

Federal
- Inland rail alignment inmpacts + intermodal terminal impacts to road network
Cross River Rail construction impacts
- PA hospital haulage route impact on intersetion safety, bicycleway safety and usage

TV6
- IAC in PAM team - finance tracking, asset management
- Policy Officer - NWTN PM
- Stakeholders: Development assessment in City Planning division - adivising of future land requirements for strategic road network - need to understand city plan rules to know what is possible
- Public and active transport teams, transport modelling unit, traffic network operations
- External state agencies such as TMR, EDQ, Education Queensland when they are a stakeholder
- Other local counciles when projects/road infrastructure iis at border between councils
-
Design and planning projects
- District corridor projects
- Congestion busting projects
- MRNID intersection upgrades
- Road safety audits
- Scope includes:
- scope needs assessment considering network planning,
- review of design elements:
- parking,
- cross-section review,
- pedestrian and cyclist safety and access,
- options development,
- staging review,
- transport modelling review/management
BSD Development
- PAT cycle protected intersection
-
Grant management
HVAP project, directing grants to bridge assessments
Hairy situations
- VPP:
- Balancing parking loss/ slower speeds to improve place based outcomes / active transport infrastructure at deteriment to car speeds and parking. Able to provide voice to CPED branch that yes we support these outcomes embedded inour TP4B, despite what TEG/TNO say about not accepting any negative impacts to their priorities (manly, raised int, ped crossings, lower traffic speeds)
- accepting narrower lanes that force slower speeds despite claims that this will increase crashes by other TNO teams (Ashrove) - risk based design approach rather than design by standard to achieve social outcome not just traffic
- advocating for additional safe mid-block crossings despite impact (ashgrove)
- Congestion funding grant changing feasibiility study concept designs to remove bicycle lanes and provide extra traffic lanes to reach higher "BCR" despite the limited scope for benefits realisation. Made case for why changing design is a poor outcome for our goals, consequences of providing infr that does not contribute to sustainable or inclusive/accessible policy. Was able to change approach and retain bike lanes.
- Change led by CPO = delivery team, who manage the grants and the concept designs but don't manage the strategic planning which was the responsibility of my team as represntive of asset owner and realisiing future vision. > Able to reference that key objective was to enable AT (sustainable, inclusive, health outcomes)
- NP
- Sandgate: Improvindg ped access to roundabout park, conflict with it being part of the major road network historically,despite actually having low volumes and a clear place function. Charated way forward to test options that would increase access despite protest from TEG, support goals of CPED branch and strategic goals of TPO branch. managing stakeholder expectations when teams have different priorities (TEG for example only know the predict and provide approach so trying other strategies is not appealing to them - make case through case studies locally and abroad e.g. FUTURES methodology from UK, decide and provide approach in NSW and Movement and Place concepts which aren't in QLD guidance yet)
- novel solution include raised crossings on major road, informed by evidence base of low traffic and conflict, opportuntiies to improve environment with lowered speeds and road environment changes e.g. narrowing, buildouts, more trees
NBB
- improving pedestrian crossings by refiniing designs, additional entry/exit ramps, approach storage space + landscaping to make more attractive
- advising on out of the box thinking such as closing local roads to reduce conflict with new bicyycle way and associated rat-running while trying to avoid signalised itnersecitons. Considered area traffic study to demonstrate how network could function from capacity and parking persepctive while improving access for locals and bicycle way users
- Requesting parking mitigation strategy at the Park N Ride and potential impact to local road network parking
- reviewing and providing support to road network changes including road closues, changes to signal timing. Reviewing and finding issues with assessment and raising with external agency's contracted traffic engineer to provide responses. Site visit to find potential defects for Council as asset owner, need to accept project in good condition
- CPO/delivery office not accepting deviations from standards to achieve improved sustainable transport outcomes
- Design efforts that seek to improve PAT/decrease car level of service not supported due to 'risk' of novel treatments e.g. pavemene decorative markings, narrower lanes, raised crossings due to 'engineering constraints', standard drawings for improved bicycle protection at intersections. Strict design by standard rather than risk based design, failing in duties to do better in their position. seek external consultant design through seek funding from mgmt**
