2.5 South East Queensland Principal Cycle Network Plan
Prepared by the Department of Transport and Main Roads, the South East Queensland Principal Cycle Network Plan guides the development of the cycle network across the South East Queensland region. It is used to guide planning, construction and the allocation and prioritisation of funding at a state and local level. It is also used to ensure all development within the region manages cyclist needs in a consistent and sufficient manner, (QT, 2007).
2.6 Brisbane City Council Transport Plan for Brisbane 2008 – 2026
Prepared by the Brisbane City Council, the Brisbane City Council Transport Plan for Brisbane 2008 – 2026 provides an outline of the council’s plans on how they will balance investment and development in all forms of transportation, (BCC, 2008).
2.7 Brisbane Active Transport Strategy 2012 –

• Greater access to information about the bicycle network – such as maps, whether the route is on or off-road. Brisbane City Council has introduced bikeway maps that show this and they are available online and on mobile devices such as smart phones.
4.0 Targets and Measures
With the exception of the South East Queensland Principal Cycle Network Plan, which is primarily concerned with the allocation of funding for 2475km of bicycle pathways throughout South East Queensland, all other policy documents seek to greatly increase the number of cycling trips taken on a day-to-day basis. An outline of each policy document’s specific targets and how these targets will be measured is outlined in table 2.
