DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND MAIN ROADS

The Department of Transport and Main Roads was formed in April 2009, when two former departments (Queensland Transport and the Department of Main Roads) merged.

Having a single department that moves and connects people, places, goods and services safely, efficiently and effectively across Queensland makes sense.

The department is responsible for planning, managing and delivering Queensland's integrated transport environment to achieve sustainable transport solutions for road, rail, air and sea.

In taking an integrated transport planning approach, the department contributes to people's quality of life, the state's economic well-being and a sustainable environment.

Central to our business is a proven commitment to actively listen and respond to Queenslanders and incorporate their views into decisions that may impact on their lives.

The department ensures that all Queenslanders irrespective of where they live and work have appropriate transport choices and fair access to the transport system.
