GC2018 Update  Local road closures have been released.  Community campaign released.  Interactive maps are due to be released.  QLDFreight App is due to be released.  Over 3,500 businesses are engaged with our Get Set for the Games, Travel Advice for Business Program.  All information is hosted at getsetforthegames.com/business.  Planning will continue to progress, so head online for updates. 12

What are businesses doing?  Foxtel are committed to supporting the Games by re-scheduling their new installations in the lead up to and after Games. This means they are reducing trips on the network at the critical times.  Sea World Resort are stockpiling non-perishable goods in readiness for the Games and are providing shuttle buses for staff and guests to ensure they get to work or public transport stations.  Gold Coast Airport has held workshops for their operations, precinct, ground transport and terminal staff and business to ensure they all have a Games time travel action plan. 13

Myth busters – the facts  The M1 will not have dedicated Games lanes.  Only very few people will require Local Access Permits.  For security reasons, the Queensland Police Service will manage water traffic near GC2018 events. This may lead to restrictions to on-water use in these areas. We have some brochures detailing changes to Waterways.  There will be an increase in services and updating timetables across our public transport network.  Parking will be restricted at rail stations. 14

Top tips  Reschedule any non-essential journeys to before or after the Games.  Check the events taking place in your area and the event times.  Look at maps of your local area to see if you may be impacted by changes.  Changes could impact home, work and play locations.  Ask staff and friends what their Games time plan is.  Review your public transport schedule.  Check your existing active travel routes and facilities.  Put a plan in place and test it! Then amend accordingly. 20

It’s not too late to prepare  We have 150 workshops scheduled between now and Games time that you can attend. Online workshops will be available soon.  We can help you with your Games time travel action plan.  Ensure your staff, suppliers, customers and visitors are ready – communication is key!  Our website is full of useful resources including fact sheets, case studies, maps and more. www.getsetforthegames.com/business 21
