TransLink network plan

[BrizCommuter]

Trying to write a blog post on pass and fails of TransLink's 2011 Network plan. However, having trouble finding information on the following, and whether they have been completed:

More than 125 new buses to the TransLink network?
New park'n'ride facilities at Sandgate and Zillmere train stations?
New park'n'ride facilities at Jindalee?
Continued rollout of new bicycle facilities across the network to improve passenger convenience and amity?

Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

I think the Jindalee and Sandgate Park 'n' Rides were actually done.

Not sure about Zillmere.

I think bus fleet expansion has continued also.

Sandgate parking expansion was completed the other month. Zillmere never had a parking expansion. Just some cosmetic works to the entrance, bike lockers, station building and improve lighting as part of the station upgrade program.

You can get more than 125 buses by continuing with the BCC rate of delivery (125 per year) and adding another 10...

BCC deliveries will slow down now to around 90 a year.  Will that result in more funding being made available for other regions (particularly the Gold Coast to properly support the RTS)?  Doubt it...

Construction of the Jindalee Park and Ride has just started. Not sure if it will be complete before the end of the financial year though.

Cycling infrastructure I know they've been working on. Not much in terms of specifics, but I know at the end of last financial year they discussed with the guys building the Eastern Busway 2 installing racks/cages at Stones Corner and Langlands. Those were put in, which was last financial year, but I can't see why they wouldn't have done more similar things at other places. FG station is going to have showers and lockers, as well as a bike cage when it opens, which could be sooner rather than later. Station building is looking much closer to being completed.

Thanks for the info!

Fail for the Nambour DDA upgrade.  Earlier advice was that it would be completed about August 2012.  Because physical construction had not started by March, when elections were held, the project was placed on hold as part of the new government's cost-cutting exercise.  Commuters are now told that no new construction timetable can be given.

^ Wasn't it actually cancelled?  (At least the project as originally planned - the DDA obligation remains.)
