PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                           11 JULY 2017


1.           Primary Considerations of Review
The primary considerations made in undertaking the review of the Transport network for the LGIP
were discussed at the LGIP workshop held on 19 January 2017 and detailed in the report to
Council on 7 February 2017 and adopted on 16 February 2017 on the Desired Standards of
Service (DSS). This provided information, details and outcomes for progressing the Transport
network component of the LGIP as follows:
i.          The current Statutory Guideline 03/04 advocates:
               a single “transport” network containing road, pathway & public transport infrastructure
                 components rather than 3 individual networks; and
               “trunk” infrastructure is now generally contained in the “trunk” road corridors (or to a
                 specific destination/facility) as contained in Appendix B of the Guideline detailing
                 indicative trunk infrastructure.
ii.         The resulting DSS amendments adopted by Council for the Transport network:
               updated references to current design and construction standards & specifications;
               clarified that “trunk” infrastructure for the Transport network is generally considered:
                 o to align within (or adjacent to) “trunk” road corridors;
                  o       provides main through linkage connections; and
                  o  to specific high use destinations and facilities.
     iii.    The PFTI future works to be primarily based on:
                any 2014-2016 trunk type projects completed;
                Road “trunk” future works based on:
                  o Noosa Traffic Study to 2036 recommendations;
                  o major proposed upgrades in capital works program; and
                      o    to identify Main Roads controlled roads issues.
                    Pathway “trunk” future works based on:
                      o identified missing links; and
                      o major “trunk” path upgrades in capital works program.
                    Bus stop “trunk” future works based on:
                      o Council’s Passenger Transport Accessible Infrastructure Program (PTAIP).
The following sections provide information on the statutory guideline requirements and the
proposed Plans for Trunk Infrastructure for the existing network and the future trunk infrastructure
land and works in relation to Transport.


2.           Plans for Trunk Infrastructure (PFTI)
The Plans for Trunk Infrastructure (PFTI) must identify the trunk infrastructure that the local
government considers necessary to service at least the projected urban development inside the
Priority Infrastructure Area (PIA) at the DSS. This does not prevent planning beyond the time
horizon of the PIA and identifying trunk infrastructure outside the PIA.
The PFTI section of the LGIP comprises PFTI maps and Schedules of Works (SOW) table for
each trunk infrastructure network. It also consists of a SOW model being an excel based
spreadsheet prepared in accordance with SOW User Manual included in Appendix C of the
Statutory Guideline.
