Need to improve road safety, reduce travel time and create closer synergy for business and tourism between Hervey Bay and Bundaberg Increase the number of passing lanes to improve the road capacity Volume of current traffic doesn’t support dual lane road expansion currently but Main Roads should continue to monitor the actual growth in traffic on an annual basis to assess whether eventual dual laning is justified Should drive visitor numbers increase as a result of the TOP initiatives, consider dual-lane highway earlier than 2020 Prepare to create dual lane highway in following 10 year period Fed Govt support for highway expansion associated funding
Infrastructure Projects Project Locations Key stakeholders Comments -35- Catalyst Project: (Ref – Bundaberg CTP 7) Creation of a “low impact” Great Coastal Walk from Hervey Bay to Bundaberg -36- Catalyst Project: (Ref – Fraser Coast CTP 1) Site Redevelopment at Lake McKenzie Bundaberg and Fraser Coast regions Dept of Infrastructure and Planning, DERM/QPWS, DEEDI, TQ, RTOs, local councils, private developers Fraser Island DERM/QPWS, Fraser Coast Regional Council, Industry Stakeholders, Community Stakeholders, Fraser Coast South Burnett Tourism Regions focus on eco-nature experiences but lack of active ecoexperiences in regions other than on Fraser Island Opportunity to develop coastal “great walk” of approx 60km offering 2-3 day and 4 day walk options using ecocoastal nodes as accommodation Permission from DERM/QPWS, State Government land and private land holders for access to land Encourages visitor activity away from vehicle use and opens up coastal areas not usually seen Develop guided nature/heritage walks This site requires improvements to reduce user conflict, reduce congestion, improve the visitor experience, spread the visitor load and maintain the natural beauty of Main Beach. DERM/QPWS has identified this as its highest priority for Fraser Island. A new toilet block (with waste treatment plant), roadworks, upgraded parking for private vehicles and tour buses, picnic areas, and improved signage as well as improved lake access is required. There is also a proposal for “filtering” users between Main and Second Beach to better manage carrying capacity at this site. The tourism industry should show strong collaborative support for these redevelopments in order to ensure visitors have excellent experiences when on Fraser Island.
