COMING SHORTLY - CAST Statement on the 3 Billion Tunnel

We have opposed the concept and construction of the 3B
Tunnel from the time it was first proposed by Jim Soorley.

We're preparing a detailed statement to explain why we
continue to vigorously oppose the Tunnel, and why we urge
all motorists to boycott the Tunnel.

Keep checking this site for our full statement.

Ipswich PTUG August newsletter

Please make your own submissions to government about the following public transport issues.

Improved frequencies on Ipswich Train Line
In June the Transport Minister said that timetable changes to be introduced in September would “focus on the heavily patronised Ipswich line” (Quest Ipswich News 5 June, page 11). However TransLink have now said that minor timetable changes made on the 28th of July would be the last for the year. Write to the Minister and TransLink demanding higher frequency peak and off-peak services on the Ipswich line.

Make submissions to:
Minister for Transport John Mickel transport@ministerial.qld.gov.au
3806 8513 or GPO Box 2644 BRISBANE QLD 4001
TransLink online or GPO Box 50 BRISBANE 4001 or 131230

Rail Back on Track page on the issue
28 July timetable

Bus connections with Riverlink shopping centre
Bus routes “504 Ipswich – Brassall” and “505 Ipswich – Tivoli” still have not been routed through Riverlink despite the close proximity of these two routes and the distance from the nearest stops being some 300 and 500 metres respectively. TransLink must make minor alterations to these routes to ensure commuters have convenient access to these new facilities.

Make submissions to:
TransLink online GPO Box 50 BRISBANE 4001 or ph. 131230
Minister for Transport John Mickel transport@ministerial.qld.gov.au
