South east Queensland’s mayors want to see 47 road and rail projects across the region completed to prevent total gridlock by 2041 at a local cost of $63 billion.
The plan was announced on Thursday morning with the release of a SEQ People Mass Movement Study, investigating the impact population growth was likely to have on transport issues.
Brisbane, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley, Logan, Moreton Bay, Redland, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba councils all participated in the study, wishing to see all urban commutes under half-an-hour and all city-to-city public transport commutes under 45 minutes.
