With the construction of the Heideradweg, the district of Spree-Neiße is supporting nature-based and sustainable tourism in the region. The cycle path is a project of the International Nature Exhibition Lieberoser Heide. It is intended in particular to link adjacent projects of the International Nature Exhibition in terms of content. The total length, including roads that have already been upgraded, is approximately 23.6 kilometres. Most of the cycle path runs along the former Cottbus-Frankfurt (Oder) railway line - Lot 1. In the south, it borders on various long-distance cycle paths, and in Oelsen it is to be connected to the existing long-distance cycle path network in the future.

Fraser Coast Regional Council (FCRC) undertook a runway assessment of its Hervey Bay Airport facility in November 2014, as part of its airport master planning initiative. The investigation and report were compiled by GHD and presented to Council in December 2014. Conclusions from the report indicated that the runway was approaching its useful life expectancy and deterioration was as per the predicted wear rate. However, increased traffic from medium passenger jets could increase the rate of wear and decrease the predicted life span.

Sulina branch is the shortest and the straightest canal of the Danube Delta and is the final part of the Rhine/Meuse-Main-Danube trans-port corridor, which connects the Rotterdam port at the North Sea with the Sulina port at the Black Sea. It has a length of approximately 71km, and it is the only navigable canal of the three through which the Danube flows in the Black Sea. The construction works to make the canal navigable for sea ships started in 1856 under the supervision of the European Commission of the Danube. They were finalised in 1861. Nowadays, the canal allows the navigation of sea ships with a draught of up to 7.2m and requires permanent maintenance to maintain its nav-igability.
