TMR- Contacted Les Update on Riverway Drive upgrade (provided by Finalised
GROVES QLD Dept. Transport & Main Road (TMR)
representative Steve MacDonald)
Steve discussed plans for the four lane extension of
Riverway Drive from Gollogly Lane to Allambie Lane,
and the difficulty in addressing issues due to the
proposed project. The tender process has commenced
for the detailed design stage which they expect will be
completed by the end of 2016. After the detailed design
has been completed TMR will seek feedback from stake
holders and residents.
Funding for the project: Aaron Harper (Member for
Thuringowa) has requested funds for the Gollogly Lane
to Allambie Lane section be allocated in the next budget
and the premier has made a commitment to fast track
projects, however the detailed design must be
completed first.
The question was posed to Mr Harper as to why cant
the project be completed in entirety (to Dunlop St).
Response from Aaron Harper was it is difficult to commit
to the end project and whilst it is ideal to go to Dunlop St
lets get the first stage happening.
A question was raised in relation to the time frame for
completion of the project as traffic will continue to
increase with the influx of residents from new housing
estates in the Upper Ross. Neither Steve nor Aaron
were able to commit to a timeframe however anywhere 3
to 5 years for completion was suggested.
Responses / Outcomes:
In relation to addressing the need for a childrens
crossing on Riverway Drive (near Illuta St), Steve will

In relation to the need for traffic lights at Riverway
Dr/Santal Drive intersection, this will be addressed in the
four lane extension to Allambie Lane and therefore no
immediate solution is available. A number of new
signalled intersections will be included in the design of
the lane duplication project.
In relation to the lack of or ill positioned bus stops and
distances between bus stops, TMR will work closely with
Translink and the community, to ensure bus stops are
located close to new signalled intersections which will be
included in the design of the lane duplication project.
In relation to the buses pulling over onto the dirt, digging
out roadway and causing hazards on the bike path. 4
bus stops along Riverway Drive were identified
concerning this issue. None pose a safety issue. This
will be corrected in the lane duplication project.

The council is currently working with various
groups to put together a master plan of the sporting
facility. The council does not want spend money on the
current facility, rather put money in the bucket to fund
the redevelopment. Mark advised the cost per carpark
is $7000, with an anticipated 125 car parks required. An
interim measure would likely be to put in some line
marking to clearly identify parking spots.
The safety issue of car park potholes was raised. These

Townsville meeting 03/05/16

Damien Sheerin has been in Townsville for 9yrs, he

commenced his new role as the GM at Sunbus 2weeks
ago.

. Costs of fares are out of Sunbuss control, ticketing

machine information is passed onto Translink, and fares
are set by Translink.

. There are reliability issues, usually on a Monday

morning due to broken windows, last Monday there were
14 broken windows. These windows are predominantly
broken on Route 200, between Riverway Dr and Dunlop
St usually on Friday and Saturday nights.

. All hits have to be considered as incidents.

. Ticketing machines are also an issue, if they dont

download then they have to be downloaded manually
which takes 15minutes.

. School run issues, adopt a cop at Deeragun are trying

to get to the schools to do a power point presentation in
relation to responsibilities relating to code of conduct for
students, drivers and general travellers. Other things
that take buses out of service include repairs to seats,
emergency hammers being pulled off.

. Sunbus openly admit that they need to lift their

standards with the help of the customers. Sunbus is
continually a work in progress but the GM wont rest on
his laurels.
. Feel free to ring with any complaints you have, you will
go through to Brisbane but Townsville check there
emails for complaints every day and GM will address all
issues of complaints.

. GM does not consider not calling people back as good

customer service; he does not like it personally so he will
not do it to others.

. Sun Bus have taken on three knew fitters and are in

the process of recruiting more drivers.

. GM asked the floor for questions, and responded to the

following:

Q. Are there security cameras on Sunbuss to catch the

people throwing rocks?

A. Most buses only have CCTV internally, and forward

facing cameras.

Q. Some bus drivers are grumpy and dont like large

notes what is company policy on that?

A. Company policy is if a driver cant change the note

you have, then you travel free.

Q. Can schools link in to discuss poor behaviour of

students on buses, bus drivers are putting up with far
more than School Principals do in relation to poor
conduct from students?

A. Unfortunately due to legislation, Sunbus is limited in

its response to poor conduct from students.
. Attrition rate for drivers has been very high and all
stakeholders need to work together to make it better,
drivers often feel unsupported and GM is committed to
lifting standards overall in relation to the service.

. Contact number for issues of a general nature is

47587544

Invites to be sent to Translink for comment.

Agenda set 07/06/16 -

Update provided by Townsville Translink Manager -

Sherrin Cappler.
Appropriate bus services already provided to the Upper
Ross area; with service levels within the highest
frequency. Mon Fri every 20 mins and hourly on
Sat/Sun and Public holidays.

Issue: The current route provides limited coverage for

residents who do not live close to Riverway Drive. The
current catchment area of 400m is due to the high
density of residents living in close proximity Riverway
Drive. There are no plans to look at increasing the
network coverage at the present.
Issue: Distance between bus stops too far. Currently
bus stops are within the required 400m of each other.
Bus shelters Sunbus has a funding arrangement with
Townsville City Council for bus shelters therefore any
issues relating to bus shelters should be directed to
TCC.
Issue: Location of partner stops (stops on opposite
sides of the road) are not in sync. This will be
addressed in the planning of the duplication of Riverway
Way Drive.
Issue: Last bus stop is at Dunlop St and people living
past there need to walk and the bus continue up along
Riverway Dr to the dam. The question was posed as to
 why cant passengers remain on the bus and get off at
the dam? Sherrin explained that Dunlop St is the actual
end of the route and yes, bus drivers may continue on to
the dam however that is most likely due to them having
a break e.g. lunch. A suggestion from the floor was to
maybe extend one service per day to the dam.
Issue: Children with no money catching the bus. If a
child is wanting to catch the bus and has no money the
driver will never leave a child behind. The only time a
child can be refused travel is a breach of conduct & even
then Sunbus does not like to encourage travel exclusion.
Issue: Time required to travel from Kelso to hospital.
This involves catching two buses (routes 200 to
Stockland & 201 to the hospital)and can take up to one
hour to travel a route that takes 8 minutes in a vehicle.
Issue: School bus travel in the afternoon sometimes
there are too many students. Sherrin will investigate
this.

to look at solutions provided including fitting stop signs Finalised
where give-way signs are present. Situation to be at meeting

Transport and Main Roads (TMR) Kylee Petersen.
Regarding your queries presented to Steven
MacDonald, TMR installs signage in accordance with the
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)
which ensures consistency of signage and application.
TMR recently undertook a road safety assessment of
both the Hammond Way and Yvette Street intersections
with Riverway Drive, considering the MUTCD
requirements. This assessment found that sight distance
at both intersections is sufficient for Give Way signage
requirements, but not adequate for Stop signs.
While we understand your concerns regarding the safety
of pedestrians and cyclists, based on this assessment
TMR does not propose to change the existing Give Way
signs at either location to Stop signs.

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) 06/12/16
implements reduced speed school zones in accordance
with the Traffic and Road Use Management Manual
(Volume 2, Part 3: School Zone Guidelines.
Due to Riverway Drive being a busy urban arterial, and
based on the current traffic volumes and speed
environment, TMR does not support a further 20
km/hour speed reduction in the school zone, as it would
have a significant detrimental impact on traffic efficiency.

No plans to change speed limit, outcome reported to
