Queensland Transport &
Urban Development Conference
"Creating an integrated transport network"

The Queensland Transport & Urban Development Conference – “creating an integrated transport network”, will be held on 25 May 2010 at the Brisbane Convention Centre.

The growing population of the Queensland state is contributing to an increase in traffic congestion which can no longer be ignored. An increased demand for mobility and accessibility calls for a transformation of existing transport systems along with the urban planning of the state.

The conference will focus on the significant investments being made by the state government to ensure a more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation system. With the 25 year plan of the South East Queensland Integrated Regional Transport Plan to more recently the Western Brisbane Transport Network Strategy, it is clear that Queensland is moving forward to ensure the right strategies are in place to protect the state’s future.

Presentations from leading government and industry specialists will explore the design and planning of an integrated urban transport system, the construction and implementation of transport projects, and the ongoing maintenance and management process that are in place. The discussion topics will cover managing congestion, public transport development, building a sustainable transport system, integrating land use and transportation, social aspects of urban transport, financing urban transport projects, planning and the future outlook for the state.

Delegates will learn of the latest in urban transport projects, hear about the latest in regional public transport developments, and understand the expected growth and the time frame in which these developments will be happening.

The conference will provide its delegates with the perfect opportunity to discuss topics and issues presented and provide a fantastic networking opportunity where transport professionals, operators, contractors, consultants, investors can all learn of the latest transport projects in place, share experiences and lessons learned. The conference room will be set up in cabaret style with a question & answer segment in place to encourage and enable delegates’ opinions to be presented.
