Chess in the wilderness of the Redcliffe Peninsula was hampered by the presence of Bramble Bay, the Pine River and mangrove swamps which cut off Redcliffe from civilized Brisbane where chess clubs abounded. There was a long way via Petrie that was subject to closure by flooding. To make the boat trip you boarded the Olivine at Sandgate or used smoke and mirrors to whistle up Charles and Martha Cutts to row you across.

  • Government Hon I(Ate Jones MP Member Forashgrove
    Government Hon I(ate Jones MP Member forAshgrove Ref CTS 13736/10 Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability Mr Neil Laurie The Clerk of the Parliament Parliament, House George Street BRISBANE QLD 4000 Dear Mr Laurie I refer to your letter of 4 August 2010 enclosing a copy of Petition No. 1458-10 lodged in the Queensland Legislative Assembly. The Petition requests that the House make the Hornibrook Bridge safe for public access and activity by any and all means possible, and to reconsider the decision to destroy this public icon and to use the funding set aside for the demolition to restore the bridge so that it will be preserved for future generations of Queenslanders. Whilst the Petition represents the feelings of concerned citizens, the future of the bridge has also been the subject of consideration for the Department of Environment and Resource Management. Studies carried out between 2004 and the end of 2005 identified the whole span to be in a severely deteriorated condition due to its age. As a part of these studies, options for the future use of the bridge were considered by an agency reference group that included the department. The feasibility of retaining the whole span for pedestrian and cycling use was given close consideration, however, it was determined that the structure was in such a deteriorated state it was not suitable for restoration. On 14 February 2007, an application was received by the department, under section 45 of the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, from the now Department of Transport and Main Roads, proposing the retention of the bridge portals and the reconstruction of a section of bridge at each end and the construction of a fishing platform while removing the majority of the span.

  • Construction Update
    Construction update October 2009 Houghton Highway Duplication Project This update has been prepared for people with an interest in the delivery of the landmark $315 million Houghton Highway Duplication Project, which involves construction of a new 2.7km road, cycle and pedestrian bridge between Brisbane and Redcliffe. The project is being undertaken by Main Roads and its construction contractor, the Hull Albem Joint Venture, and is scheduled for completion in mid 2011 (weather permitting). ABOVE: ANOTHER NEW SPAN OF THE TED SMOUT MEMORIAL BRIDGE TAKES SHAPE IN BRAMBLE BAY. Current works Construction of the Ted Smout Memorial Bridge is continuing in Bramble Bay. Fifty-six of its 78 spans have now been built off the Brighton foreshore, and stretch almost 2 km across the bay towards Clontarf. These are being progressively fitted with concrete barriers, guard rails, and electrical conduit. Another five new spans are currently under construction, in various stages of completion. Construction of the new Pine River Fishing Platform is also continuing in Bramble Bay. The platform is being built on the seaward side of the Ted Smout Memorial Bridge, next to the main channel into the Pine River. A wheelchair-accessible walkway will connect the platform to a shared pedestrian / cycle path that runs along the length of the new bridge. Construction of new pedestrian / cycle underpasses is in progress at both ends of the Houghton Highway. The underpasses will run beneath the existing Houghton Highway bridge and the new Ted Smout Memorial Bridge. Construction update Development of the northern embankment of the new Ted Smout Memorial Bridge is in progress at Clontarf Point.

  • Connecting SEQ 2031 an Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland
    Connecting SEQ 2031 An Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland Tomorrow’s Queensland: strong, green, smart, healthy and fair Queensland AUSTRALIA south-east Queensland 1 Foreword Vision for a sustainable transport system As south-east Queensland's population continues to grow, we need a transport system that will foster our economic prosperity, sustainability and quality of life into the future. It is clear that road traffic cannot continue to grow at current rates without significant environmental and economic impacts on our communities. Connecting SEQ 2031 – An Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland is the Queensland Government's vision for meeting the transport challenge over the next 20 years. Its purpose is to provide a coherent guide to all levels of government in making transport policy and investment decisions. Land use planning and transport planning go hand in hand, so Connecting SEQ 2031 is designed to work in partnership with the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009–2031 and the Queensland Government's new Queensland Infrastructure Plan. By planning for and managing growth within the existing urban footprint, we can create higher density communities and move people around more easily – whether by car, bus, train, ferry or by walking and cycling. To achieve this, our travel patterns need to fundamentally change by: • doubling the share of active transport (such as walking and cycling) from 10% to 20% of all trips • doubling the share of public transport from 7% to 14% of all trips • reducing the share of trips taken in private motor vehicles from 83% to 66%.
