In the early 1860s 50 acres south of Moggill Road had been surveyed, sub-divided into house size lots and offered for sale. Marketed as the ‘West Milton’ Estate this name was also used in the western suburbs’ first postal contract secured by Alfred Roberts who ran a horse drawn omnibus to Brisbane. The opening of the railway in the 1870s spurred the building of homes and a number of businesses opened along the crest of Moggill Road. Something of a way stop this included a blacksmith, pub and grocery stores. In due course these would be joined by a school, places of worship, doctors surgery and private hospital, pharmacy, bakery, butchers, picture theatre, a masonic lodge and later service stations. The shopping and services strip became the centre of ‘village’ life, the hub of the local community. Importantly Taringa became the administration centre for local government when these authorities were formed by legislation in the late 1870s. The office for the Indooroopilly Divisional Board was built in the Moggill/Morrow Road split and subsequently extended to meet the needs of the Taringa Divisional Board, then the Taringa Shire Council as the local authority boundaries were progressively adjusted to reflect closer settlement in the inner suburbs.

    Draft Ipswich Planning Scheme 2019 Statement of Proposals 3.7 Local Area Frameworks 3.7.1 Preliminary (1) The Ipswich Local Government Area has been divided into thirty local area strategic planning units based on geographically identifiable communities of interest (areas with identifiable boundaries and within which there are broad land use and planning commonalities) to which individual Local Area Frameworks apply. (2) The thirty Local Area Frameworks provide a more detailed spatial expression of the policies included in the Whole of City Strategic Framework (refer to sections 3.1 to 3.6) for each of the local area strategic planning units by: (a) including a description of the geographic extent of the strategic planning unit to which the Local Area Framework applies; (b) identifying the Valuable Features in the area that are of significance and are to be protected; (c) identifying the most significant Development Constraints that impact on development in the area and that need to be considered and addressed in allocating precincts and for development assessment; (d) setting out the Growth Management outcomes that are to be delivered in the area; (e) identifying the key Infrastructure that needs to be delivered to support growth and development in the area; (f) showing the preferred use of land in the area by including each property in a land use precinct designation; and (g) where there are different development options (including for example building heights, lot sizes, dwelling densities or different land uses) for an area or individual

  • RACQ Ipswich Motorway Policy Analysis
    Policy Analysis 9/05 Economic & Public Policy Ipswich Motorway Introduction The Ipswich Motorway is a vital link between Brisbane and Ipswich. It connects Ipswich and Granard Roads at Rocklea to the Warrego and Cunningham Highways and Brisbane Road at Dinmore. For many years, it formed part of the National Highway System (NHS), which was a Commonwealth Government funding responsibility. Since the release of the Commonwealth’s AusLink land transport policy in June 2004, the Ipswich Motorway has been part of a broader National Network. The AusLink policy decreed that the states must share costs of the National Network, particularly in urban areas. The Ipswich Motorway is one of Queensland’s most congested roads, with stop-start conditions during morning and afternoon peak periods. It also has one of the highest vehicle accident rates in Queensland. Yet, the upgrading of this hopelessly inadequate and dangerous road has been subjected to extraordinary delays because of political bickering and dithering. This document summarises the history of recent proposals to upgrade the Ipswich Motorway, analyses Commonwealth and State Government policies regarding the road, and outlines RACQ’s position. Background The Ipswich Motorway upgrade project has been dogged by delays, conflict between governments, and political manoeuvring. In the meantime, road trauma and congestion continue to worsen on this very sub-standard stretch of the National Network. The following brief chronology highlights key events in this sad, sorry saga. 1997 The Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland, which was released in 1997, proposed commencement in 1997-98 of a major investigation in respect of an Ipswich Motorway upgrade.

  • Mt Lindesay/Beaudesert Strategic Transport Network Investigation Draft Report for Consultation, 2009 138
    13.0 NETWORK STAGING The purpose of the network staging modelling is to establish priorities for the Department of Transport and Main Roads in terms of future corridor presentation. The 2036 time frame was selected as it is 10 years after the current timeframe of committed infrastructure projects (i.e. projects in South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Program) to provide an indication of the next round of priority projects in the region. 13.1 2036 Land Use The 2036 population for the South East Queensland region was based on a linear extrapolation between 2026 and 2056. This resulted in an additional 470,000 people across the region at 2036, and a total of 4.4 million. Locality population growth in areas, besides the Study Focus Area and Ipswich City area, were also distributed based on this linear extrapolation. In the Study Focus Area and Ipswich City area, the linear extrapolation was used as an overall total however locality population growths have been adjusted. Additional population, based on linear extrapolation, at 2036 for the former Beaudesert Shire is 79,600 and for Ipswich City 103,800 people. The South East Queensland Strategic Transport Model and 2005 Regional Plan predicts a 2026 population for the former Beaudesert Shire of approximately 116,600 people. More recent investigations by the former Beaudesert Shire Council indicate this may be closer to 140,000 people at 2026. As a result the 2036 demographics were adjusted for this additional 24,000 persons to 2026 plus the amount added from the linear extrapolation process. A total of an additional 103,600 people was therefore utilised for the 2036 population growth Staging Scenario.
