6. Sustainable solutions for transport challenges

7. Unit for Emerging Futures Brisbane’s railway infrastructure explored University of Queensland, Columbia University (NY), RAND Corp (LA), QR and QT What are the challenges? & What is considered sustainable?

8. Challenges effecting current planning & transport strategy in SEQ Increasing population growth in cities Diminishing green-field land resources Insufficient infrastructure to serve a rapidly expanding periphery Inhospitable environment around railway corridors Lack of amenity and public urban space

9. What are the opportunities in SEQ? Good basic system of railway infrastructure in place Size, scale and continuity of exg railway corridors Large amount of fragmented land available for consolidation in and around railway stations

10. What are sustainable options? TOD - focussing on specific stations for consolidation Air-rights development opportunities Conversion and re-use/recycling or waste areas or disused railway corridors Reestablish significance of stations as key community centres Opportunities for new public urban space

11. What does the railway corridor mean in urban terms? Common to any city: – Size – Scale – Quality of the environment

12. Scale and size of corridor – Volume of infrastructure – Amount of adjacent land – Number of tracks – Amount of aerial cabling – Pedestrian overpasses – Type of development on either side
