East Bank Flood Resilience Program East Bank Flood Resilience Program Community open day at East Bank Pump Station Community feedback Master Plan for the East Bank Pump Station site and surrounding area In early 2018, Seqwater developed a draft Master Plan for the East Bank Pump Station site and surrounding area, as part of the East Bank Flood Resilience Program (EBFRP). The draft Master Plan was released to the community for consultation in August 2018. Seqwater would like to thank everyone that provided feedback on the draft Master Plan by emailing or calling the project team, commenting on the interactive map, or attending the community open day. A summary of how the EBFRP Master Plan addresses community feedback is provided below. Feedback theme Improving safety and connectivity for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists Many residents raised concerns about road safety and connectivity, and requested improvements such as resurfacing roadways, traffic calming and pedestrian access over the Brisbane River. In addition, some residents also suggested changes to the alignment of the proposed footpath and heritage trail included in the draft Master Plan. Master Plan details The Master Plan involves constructing a new vehicle bridge over the Brisbane River and repurposing the existing Mount Crosby Weir bridge for pedestrians and cyclists. This will allow people to safely walk or cycle across the river to access Allawah Road and the sporting grounds. While there will be some road works on Stumers Road to allow safe access to the new substation site, there will be no public road upgrades as part of the Master Plan. Based on community feedback, the footpath alignment has been removed from the Master Plan and will be determined through further planning activities and approvals. Feedback theme More access to community facilities Some community members and stakeholders asked for more access to buildings and facilities for public use. Master Plan details There will be two dedicated community facilities under the Master Plan, with the relocation of the Drayman’s Cottage and repurposing of the existing community hall on Stumers Road for community use. In addition, the refurbishment of the heritage administration building at the East Bank Pump Station site will provide access to private and public meeting spaces. East Bank Flood Resilience Program East Bank Pump Station and Mount Crosby Weir Bridge Feedback theme Preserving local heritage Mount Crosby was established in 1893 as the site for Brisbane’s first water supply scheme and has a rich history. Many residents stated they would like existing heritage buildings and artefacts protected and to learn more about the East Bank Pump Station’s history. Master Plan details The Master Plan includes restoring the historic administration building, former blacksmith’s workshop and workers’ amenities block at the East Bank Pump Station site, to preserve their heritage value. Following restoration, the administration building will be used to showcase the history of water in South East Queensland. Restoration of the heritage-listed Works Hill houses is currently underway, in preparation to sell some of the properties in 2019, subject to local government approval. The Master Plan also includes a new footpath to improve safety and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists. The footpath will include signage points celebrating the people, places and events that make up Mount Crosby’s rich history. In addition, Seqwater is working with a cultural heritage specialist to develop a plan to protect heritage buildings and artefacts within the precinct. Feedback theme More recreational community spaces Some community members said they would like more recreational areas and BBQ facilities near the East Bank Pump Station site and safe places to view the weir. Master Plan details The East Bank Pump Station site is an operational area and while Seqwater appreciates the interest local residents have in greater access along the Brisbane River, there are currently no plans to install recreational facilities under the Master Plan. The Mount Crosby Weir Bridge will be repurposed for pedestrians and cyclists and will be a suitable location for people to look out over the weir and to the river downstream..
