(3) A Frequent Network Plan for Public Transport will be finalised as part of strategic transport planning for Canberra later in 2011. An updated map for proposed 2031 Frequent Network is at Attachment 1.
(4) Until the structure plans for precincts within the Eastern Broadacre corridor are prepared, the uses proposed are indicative only. The travel demand and percentage of usage for each transport mode depends on the type of employment generating uses. The broad uses that are proposed for the corridor are industrial and broadacre. Most of these uses are unlikely to have all-day transport demand due to lower employment densities and different working hours.
Traffic and transport modelling were undertaken for two of the precincts in the Eastern Broadacre corridor as follows:
• Fyshwick Traffic and Transport Modelling by SMEC, December 2009; and
• Symonston Arterial Traffic Modelling Study by URS, December 2010.
The Fyshwick Road Network Feasibility Study 2010 has considered the provision of on road and off - road cycle paths as providing access to recreational areas along the Molonglo River.
The ACT Strategic Public Transport Network Plan 2009 proposes a public transport strategy for 2009 – 2031. Under this network plan, Canberra Avenue through to Queanbeyan is proposed as a major ‘Rapid’ public transport corridor. In this respect, higher density uses may be appropriately located along the Canberra Avenue, which is an Approach Route in the National Capital Plan.
