Local connectivity prioritieswill be based on addressing known connectivity problems between

communitiesandactivitycentres,andanassessmentofbothpedestrianandvehicularconnections,

Asset maintenance priorities are based on providing appropriate road pavement, signage and

The Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources (DIER), Brighton, Glenorchy City and

HobartCityCouncils1agreedtojointlydevelopaBrookerHighwayTransportPlanto:

provideasharedunderstandingoftheimportanceandfunctionoftheBrookerHighway; provide an agreed framework for identifying,prioritising and implementingupgradesanddevelopmentalongitslengthoftheHighway;and

assist the StateGovernment in attracting FederalGovernment funding for infrastructureupgrades.

The Brooker Highway Transport Plan has been developed by a working group of nominated

representativesfromDIERandtheBrighton,GlenorchyCityandHobartCityCouncils. Theworking

groupmetbetweenDecember2009andMarch2010,and focussedon identifying thekey future

issuesfortheBrookerHighway.Theseincludeefficiency,safety,accessibility,landuseplanningand

assetrestoration.

informedbytheobjectivesandanalysisoftheTasmanianUrbanPassengerTransportFramework,

the TasmanianGovernments submission to InfrastructureAustraliaandpast trafficmodelling in

support of specific initiatives on the Highway (determination of options at ElwickGoodwood

intersection and whole of corridor modelling of bus priority measures). This background

information is summarised in the Brooker Highway Transport Plan: Draft Background Report

Passengers

The Brooker Highway plays a significant role in regional and local passengermovements. The

HighwaydirectlylinksthreeLocalGovernmentAreas;Hobart,GlenorchyandDerwentValley.Italso

facilitates access to and from Brighton (via the Bridgewater Bridge and theMidland Highway),

Clarence(viatheBowenandTasmanBridges),KingboroughandtheHuonValley(viatheSouthern

OutletandtheHuonHighway).

TheBrookerHighwayisthekeynorthernlinktotheHobartcitycentre,Tasmaniascapitalcityand

primary activity centre. Hobart is the administrative base for the state, providing significant

employment,a thrivingretailcentreandholds10%ofTasmaniaspopulation.Glenorchyalso isa

considerable regionalemployment centre andattractsa significant shareof the commercialand

retailmarket.Glenorchyspopulationcomprisesaround9%oftheStatespopulation.

The Brooker Highway is part of a local transport system that includes Main Road and major

connectingroads, includingDerwentParkandRisdonRoads.

Main Road is a parallel route to the Brooker Highway,

connecting major suburbs within Glenorchy (Moonah,

Berriedale)tolocalcommercialcentresandtoHobart. While

theBrooker

Highway

has

anumber

of

express

bus

services

from the northern suburbs,Main Road is themajor public

transport route, reflecting its proximity tomajor residential

areasandactivitycentres.Inadditiontotheseroadcorridors,

theexistingrail line fromBrighton toHobartPortwillcease

to be utilised by freight trains following completion of the

Brighton Transport Hub, raising the potential that the line

couldbeusedforpassengertransportservicesoverthe long

term. The Tasmanian Urban Passenger Framework (2010)

provides thepolicyandplanningcontext forhowpassenger

servicescanbedevelopedoverthelongtermtobettermeet

metropolitan passenger needs. The Framework included

analysisofreuseoftherailcorridor2forpassengerlightrail,

and itwas recognised under this study that the project at

leastpartly reliesonandwouldbe strengthenedbygreater

residentialdensitiesdirectlyadjacenttotherailline.Planning

to improvepublic transport reliabilityand travel times from

the northern suburbs will need to consider the entire

northern corridor ofMain Road, the BrookerHighway, and

therailcorridor.

TrafficVolumeandLevelofService

The Brooker Highway carries the second highest traffic

volumesinGreaterHobart,aftertheTasmanBridge.ThesectionbetweentheDomainHighway

and Derwent Park Road has the highest volumes, averaging nearly 50,000 vehicles per day

Highwayiscomplex.

Changes in transportdemandwillgenerateadditional trafficondifferent sectionsof theBrooker

changestomajoremployers located inHobart,GlenorchyorBrightonthatwillchangejourneytoworkpatternsorfreeuplandforredevelopmentforotheruses;or

new schools or a change in the location of schools, generating new peak periodmovements.

Population growth in the northern suburbswill result in additional transport demand along the

PlanningforthefutureBrookerHighway

The Brooker Highway Working Group developed a future scenario for the Brooker Highway

recognisingtheprimaryroleofthehighwayasastrategicfreightandpassengerroutethatsupports

highvolumesofinterregionalandintrastatemovement.TheGroupagreedthefuturefocusshould

beon:

consolidating the strategic function of the Highway as a higherspeed arterial roadwithlimited,highcapacityaccesspoints;

supporting

safe

for

commercial

vehicles;

protectingthefunctionoftheHighwaythroughgoodlanduseplanningdecisions; facilitatingsafepedestrianaccessatkeylocations;and planningthe localtransportfunctionoftheBrookerHighway inthecontextofthebroadernetwork,particularlytheMainRoadElizabethStreetcorridor.

TrafficvolumesalongtheBrookerHighwaywillremainhighinthefuture,reflectiveoftheongoing

strategic role of the Highway. However, broader passenger transport and freight demand

management policieswill aim to keep annual growth rates low. In the short tomedium term,

ProjectIdentificationandPrioritisation

Toachieve thePlansObjectives,aseriesofprojectsandkey initiativeshavebeen identifiedand

prioritisedonthefollowingprinciples:

1. Capacity and efficiency priorities have been identified based on analysis of current andpredictedfuturetrafficvolumes,theeffectofthesevolumesonintersectionandroadsegment

levels of service, and ability to improve travel time reliability through noninfrastructure

solutions.

2. Road safetyprioritieswill be based on identification of the crash patterns on the highway.Specific projectswill be integratedwith other upgrades such as intersection or accessibility

upgrades. Othersafetyinitiativeswillrelatetothehighwayasawhole.

3. Localconnectivityprioritieswillbebasedonaddressingknownconnectivityproblemsbetweencommunities and activity centres, and an assessment of both pedestrian and vehicular
