Movement and place

Movement and place is a best practice planning methodology which can guide the way our transport networks and the places they interact with, are planned, designed and operated. Movement and place seeks to balance the transport network's role in the movement of people and goods with the role of transport corridors, nodes and precincts, as places that are essential to live, shop, work, carry out business and socialise.

Introducing Movement and Place provides a brief overview of what movement and place is, and why we're adopting it.

Policy and guidance

Following consultation with internal and external stakeholders, including local councils and the Queensland Government Architect, we've developed the Movement and Place Policy and Movement and Place Practitioner Guidance, which provide a framework to guide decision making in the planning, design and operation of our state-controlled transport network and infrastructure investment.

• Movement and Place Policy—Sets the objectives, definitions, scope and applicability of movement and place.
• Movement and Place Practitioner Guidance—Provides a step-by-step guide, including project planning, performance indicators and classification tools to help guide practitioners through a movement and place process.

Next steps

Implementation of movement and place will start in August 2024. Additional tools and guides, including case studies and pilot projects, will be investigated to support implementation over time.
