摘要

Commonwealth Urban Infrastructure Minister Paul Fletcher in a speech at the Australian Transport Summit made some interesting comments. With 90% of the population now living in cities, and with cities providing a substantial portion of GDP, $854b to the economy in 2011, the Government, Fletcher asserted, is committed to planning public transport development that would encourage and harness the economic opportunities available. 'The data suggests that the economic value generated in a geographic area is correlated to the density of people working there,' he said. 'According to the Grattan Institute, the Sydney CBD produced $100 in value for every hour worked there in 2011-12; Parramatta, effectively the second CBD in the Sydney conurbation, produced $68 for each hour worked.' Mr Fletcher noted that projected population increases in the major cities means that they will need to 'transform the structure of their built environments to accommodate their projected population increases'. With increased density 'heavy rail starts to have clear advantages over other transport modes because of its capacity to move large numbers of people quickly and reliably. A train line can move 50,000 people an hour. Compare this with a freeway lane which can move 2500 people an hour'. Statistics indicate that employment growth is higher in areas on the rail network, and that rail construction will unlock more jobs. 'By 2036, approximately 912,000 more people than in 2016 will be able to get to strategic employment centres on public transport in less than 45 minutes,' Mr Fletcher said. Effective public transport planning, he emphasised, enables the better functioning of cities, bringing economic, productivity and lifestyle benefits. This means that public transport development is key to alleviating travel congestion and its negative impacts. He went on to say 'The Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics estimates that the avoidable costs of congestion for the major Australian cities total $16.5b for 2015-16. This comprises $6b in personal time costs, $8b in business time costs, $1.5b in extra vehicle operating costs and $ lb in air pollution costs.' Mr Fletcher said that the Commonwealth's contributions to the ongoing development of city transport infrastructure could be seen in its 'strong pipeline of investment', such as $95m for Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 2, $490m for the Forrestfield Airport Link, $42.8m for Flinders Link, $l.lb for Sydney Metro City and Southwest, $78.3m for Parramatta Light Rail and $67.1m for Capital Metro in Canberra.
