3.6.1.7  Freight movements in Brisbane-Gold Coast-Sunshine Coast

Table 58 shows the proportion of daily vehicle kilometres travelled by cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles between major origins and destinations in the Brisbane-Gold Coast-Sunshine Coast region. This shows that freight traffic constitutes a relatively high proportion of traffic for some O/D pairs, in particular for travel between the Forest Lake-Oxley and Rocklea-Acacia Ridge SA3 regions, the Nundah and Brisbane Inner North regions, and the Nundah and Chermside regions.
