It was great to hear yesterday that
Julia Gillard has given the
green light to one of Southeast Queensland's major infrastructure missing
links - the $1.15 billion Redcliffe rail connection.
In
the first significant election pledge targeting the must-win state, the Prime
Minister will pledge to deliver the 12.6km Petrie to Kippa-Ring rail line by
2016.
The
long-awaited project would ease congestion in one of the nation's fastest-growing and most car-dependant
regions.
Ms Gillard
said the rail link would ease gridlock for about 84,000 people and each express
train trip would take 600 cars off the road.
"The project is about making
sure the growth of the Moreton Bay corridor is sustainable with high-quality
public transport that cuts congestion, travel times and carbon dioxide
emissions,'' Ms Gillard told The Courier-Mail. It also would reduce traffic congestion on the Bruce Highway in
places such as Caboolture and Bribie Island, which fall within the marginal
Labor-held seat of Longman.
The rapid population growth on Brisbane's outskirts is
putting a drain on services including transport. More than half of the people
who live in the Moreton Bay Regional Council area leave the region for work each
day and almost nine out of 10 travel by car.
