Roads of Strategic Importance in Queensland

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roads of Strategic Importance in Queensland is a list of roads in Queensland, Australia, that are the subject of one or more road improvement projects under the Roads of Strategic Importance (ROSI) initiative of the Australian Government.[1] The purposes of this document are to:

  • List the strategic corridors that are wholly or partly in Queensland, with at least one project in Queensland.
  • List all ROSI projects in Queensland, and provide a link to each project description.
  • List all roads and associated structures targeted by ROSI projects in Queensland.
  • Record the copying of project details to associated Wikipedia articles.
  • Indicate projects targeted for "early works" by the Queensland Government.[2]


Data columns

[edit]

The list is in the form of a table with the following date columns:

  • Corridor name
  • Project short name
  • Road name
  • Copied
  • Notes

Corridor name

[edit]

Corridor names from the source document (reference 1) are listed alphabetically without any division between Northern and Southern Australia corridors.[1] A corridor name, "Non-corridor projects", is below the corridor names.

Project short name

[edit]

Where a project short name differs from the project name in the source document it has been derived as follows:

  • A road name, if included, has been removed.
  • The remaining text has been rearranged.

For example "Flinders Highway (Townsville - Charters Towers) Wide Centre Line Treatment" is changed to "Wide centre line treatment Townsville-Charters Towers".

These project short names are listed alphabetically within each corridor, so there is no relation to the sequence of project names in the source document.[1]

Road name

[edit]

Where a road name is in the project name or the project description it has been included in this column.[1] Where there are multiple names only one has been listed in this column. The alphabetic index for the table is based on the road name.

Copied

[edit]

If used by participating editors this column indicates that the details of a project have been copied to a related Wikipedia article.

Notes

[edit]

In addition to miscellaneous notes this column indicates those projects targeted for "early works" by the Queensland Government, as shown in reference 2.[2]
