Project:<br />
Connect CBD to Urangan via<br />
light rail or similar using<br />
elements <strong>of</strong> disused rail<br />
corridor<br />

Need for study to determine all aspects<br />
<strong>of</strong> walkway infrastructure,<br />
accommodation style <strong>and</strong> locations,<br />
transport connectivity<br />
Need for integrated planning approach<br />
to achieve better connectivity <strong>and</strong><br />
address road traffic management<br />
issues<br />
Need to reassess road network<br />
capacity levels <strong>and</strong> issues<br />
Need to undertake cost benefit<br />
assessment <strong>of</strong> creating people mover<br />
on old rail line corridor linking port to<br />
CBD<br />
Comprehensive community<br />
consultation required prior to lodging<br />
the region as a potential biosphere<br />
reserve with UNESCO<br />
Concept is to provide innovative<br />
approaches to conservation <strong>and</strong><br />
sustainable development<br />
Need to encourage easier access<br />
around Hervey Bay<br />
Road traffic management issues due to<br />
current road congestion<br />
Assess options for using what<br />
elements <strong>of</strong> old rail corridor exist <strong>and</strong><br />
currently used as pedestrian walkway<br />
(noted to have wide width)<br />
Determine via cost benefit study<br />
options for light rail, heritage tram to<br />
provide attractive transport option <strong>and</strong><br />
stimulate less vehicle movements<br />
Assess potential to develop circular<br />
route which creates circuit from CBD<br />
to Urangan <strong>and</strong> back via Esplanade.<br />
Need to improve road safety, reduce<br />
travel time <strong>and</strong> create closer synergy<br />
for business <strong>and</strong> tourism between<br />
Hervey Bay <strong>and</strong> Bundaberg<br />
Increase the number <strong>of</strong> passing lanes<br />
to improve the road capacity<br />
Volume <strong>of</strong> current traffic doesn’t<br />
support dual lane road expansion<br />
currently but Main Roads should<br />
continue to monitor the actual growth<br />
in traffic on an annual basis to assess<br />
whether eventual dual laning is justified<br />
Should drive visitor numbers increase<br />
as a result <strong>of</strong> the TOP initiatives,<br />
consider dual-lane highway earlier than<br />
2020<br />
Prepare to create dual lane highway in<br />
following 10 year period<br />

expansion associated funding
