Transport

How we move, and how efficiently we can do it, is key to ensuring productivity, sustainability and quality of life. Queensland’s transport network is vast and supports expansive regions and cities. Maintaining our transport infrastructure assets is a challenge, particularly given its scale and diversity, along with increasing user demands and disruptive weather impacts across the state. Investing in the maintenance of our existing transport infrastructure is essential, not only to provide safe and efficient travel today, but to ensure future economic sustainability.

Twenty-four transport priority actions are now underway to support Queensland’s transport network. Highlights include:

• delivering the Queensland Electric Super Highway Phase 3, providing 23 new sites in Western Queensland, increasing the network to 54 fast-charging locations
• release of the 10-year Inland Freight Investment Strategy with early works announced for Queensland’s Inland Freight Route to help connect manufacturers and business with their customers
• delivery of a new $21.9 million multi-use conveyor at Port of Bundaberg by Gladstone Ports Corporation Limited
• investing $14 billion to add 57 km of new track, connecting the SEQ spine from the Gold Coast to Caloundra, including Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3, Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail, Cross River Rail, and the Sunshine Coast Direct Rail to Caloundra
• investing $315 million over the next four years to expand cycling and walking paths throughout Queensland.
