Thanks Scott. Do you get the sense that the government has the strategy to cope with the problem?

I went along. Definitely very much a pro-sustainable transport crowd and some good presentations. Barry Broe mentioned that cycle use was up 75% in Brisbane last year. He didn't seem to make any distinction between recreational cycling and commuting though. 

Video of all the presentations and slides can be viewed at the links below (Windows media player format required).

Hi Mich,

I wish I did go. Do you want to tell us more? Interesting, there is a mention that by 2015, we will be
importing 2/3 of our oil! But I wondered how many of could afford to drive by 2015!

Did anyone go to this sustainable transport forum at the Irish Club on 17 May?

Half a dozen professionals talking up how their planning/designing/building is helping make Brisbane transport able to function in the coming post-peak-oil era.

If they were serious Barry Broe (Divisional Manager Brisbane Infrastructure, Brisbane City Council) would have announced the switch on date for bus priority traffic light signalling in Brisbane, currently nearly a decade late..
