Moving freight: a strategy for more efficient freight movement

Queensland's freight task is rising rapidly, and is forecast to increase by 89 per cent from 871 million tonnes in 2010-11 to between 1,643-1,741 million tonnes by 2026. Transport and Main Roads is planning for this growing challenge with Moving Freight, a 10-year strategy which identifies 38 actions to improve freight movement in Queensland. The strategy’s actions are broad ranging to support diverse sector needs and include: 1. ensuring rail access for agriculture; 2. developing investment strategies for key freight corridors; 3. improving freight network resistance to floods and natural disasters; 4. better collection and analysis of freight data and information; 5. continuing to reduce red tape for heavy freight vehicle permits.
