2. Expanding the Ipswich Bus Network Public Transport services in Ipswich are administered by the TransLink Division of the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads. Nevertheless, Council receives many requests to improve public transport services within Ipswich and in particular the bus services. In recent years, Council has had very limited success in lobbying the State Government to invest in the expansion of the bus network. This report highlights the state of Ipswich’s bus network, benchmarks the Ipswich bus network against other networks within South East Queensland (SEQ), and outlines several considerations for Council moving forward. |
|
Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding: Seconded by Councillor Andrew Fechner: A. That a submission for citywide expansion of the bus network be prepared and considered as a potential Regionally Significant Project. B. That Councillors meet with State MPs to discuss new bus services in Redbank Plains, as well as for a new direct bus service linking Ipswich Central and Springfield Central. C. That Council officers work with the State Government to rationalise the existing bus network to achieve net benefits. D. That if funding from the State Government is not secured for Council’s two (2) expansion priority projects (identified in Recommendation B) by the end of the 2022-2023 financial year, Council officers commence investigations into alternative funding options to subsidise the cost of these service changes and prepare a report for Council’s consideration.

3. iGO Annual Report Card 2020 - 2021 This is a report outlining the results of the 2020 - 2021 Annual Report Card for the delivery of the City of Ipswich Transport Plan (iGO). The report provides an overview of the status of iGO related projects and transport trends being experienced in Ipswich. While many iGO projects have been delivered in the financial year, the impact of continued high population growth, the COVID-19 pandemic and changing travel demands has resulted in a need to undertake a major review of iGO, to address the associated challenges and opportunities, and readjust Council’s strategic transport direction for Ipswich. |

Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding: Seconded by Councillor Andrew Fechner: That the report be received and the contents noted.

4. Proposed Repairs to Unmaintained Roads Policy This is a report concerning the development of an unmaintained roads policy to replace the previous unmaintained roads policy which was repealed in 2019. Whilst Council do not have a statutory duty under section 60 of the Local Government Act 2009 to carry out construction activities or maintenance works on unmaintained roads there are instances that in the public interest and for the safe passage of community members on these roads, that Council adopts a policy that enables Council to undertake minor repair works within a specified framework. |
|
Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding: Seconded by Councillor Kate Kunzelmann: That the policy titled ‘Repairs to Unmaintained Roads Policy’ as outlined in Attachment 1, be adopted, to enable a consistent approach to customer requests for maintenance on unmaintained roads.
