Gridlock or Gateway — SEQ’s Transport Moment of Truth
The real story here is irresistible: a region already choking on growth, about to invite the entire world to watch, with a housing boom dumping hundreds of thousands of new residents into a network already on its knees — and a six-year countdown to fix it.
That’s not a transport forum. That’s a pressure cooker with a deadline.
The narrative writes itself:
- The Olympics is the forcing function nobody can ignore
- Housing sprawl is outpacing every mode of transport simultaneously
- Freight gets squeezed as passenger demand explodes
- And the Gold Coast specifically becomes the global shop window for whether SEQ pulled it off
We will bring together transport leaders, planners, and innovators with discussions explore how advance planning—across modes, jurisdictions, and time horizons—can support economic growth, resilience, and sustainable mobility.
We look forward to hearing from the Hon Brent Mickelberg MP – Minister for Transport and Main Roads, Mayor Tom Tate – City of Gold Coast and our panel:
- Michelle Moss – CEO, Queenslanders with Disability Network
- Michael Sewards – Group CEO , Kinetic
- Darren McNamara – Founder, Moventum Advisory
- John Lee – Governance Advisor
