About this event

AITPM QLD Branch in collaboration with GHD are proud to host this in-person event in Toowoomba, Qld. Join us to hear from key speakers on Transport and Place Integration, Navigating the Journey of Disruption and Green and Inclusive Streets for Toowoomba Region.

Presentations I Speakers:

#1. Transport and Place Integration – Catherine O’Brien, Technical Director Urban Design | GHD Toowoomba

The role that transport infrastructure plays in cities and regions, goes beyond its movement function. Streets and paths also create places for people to journey along, connect, recreate and explore. As such, they play an important role in social and economic exchange, urban ecology, and climate resilience, that contributes to the life, energy and prosperity of our communities. 

Shifting the thinking from transport corridors solely in terms of functional considerations to how these significant pieces of infrastructure contribute to the identity and vibrancy of places, user behaviours, urban integration and resilience – has been an important leap and trail now blazed with several success stories.

This presentation will focus on leading urban design practice to achieve integrated place and transport outcomes which are highly responsive to community and user needs. It will also be a reflection on the benefits and learnings realised for the Level Crossing Removal Project and Mildura CBD Plan.

#2. Navigating the Journey of Disruption – K Leung, Manager Human Central Design | GHD Digital

Disruptions can seem inevitable as our regions become more connected through transportation. Engaging citizens and the workforce becomes crucial as our infrastructure and technologies evolve simultaneously. In this presentation we will look at how data and empathy work together for a resilient workforce behind our changing transport network. We'll explore examples of innovation to managing the commuter experience during long-term disruption, and share learnings from transport agencies to embrace disruption confidently.

#3. Green and Inclusive Streets for Toowoomba Region – A study of relationship between the private and public realms – Farnoosh Shokoofan and Alison Banks | Toowoomba Regional Council

Streets are an intrinsic part of the public realm. They facilitate the movement of people whether it’s walking, cycling, scootering, or driving, but they are also “places” that support a diverse range of activities. Toowoomba is a Region known for its reputation as the “Garden City”, however the recent developments in the last decade aren’t contributing to this image. This is caused by design that’s not in line with best practice and recent approaches both in public realm (streets) and private realm (buildings, landscaping and other elements). We will provide an overview of two studies undertaken by Toowoomba Regional Council as part of a bigger program to develop the new Planning Scheme. The Toowoomba Region Urban Form Framework (TRUFF, completed in 2021) and Urban Form Guidelines (currently underway) explore how to improve the street design for greener and more inclusive streets and key considerations for integrated land use and transport planning.

We look forward to seeing you there!
