Conclusions ..........................................................................................49 3 Synopsis This Coordinator-General’s report has been prepared pursuant to section 35(3) of the State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971 (Qld) (SDPWO Act) and provides an evaluation of the environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Northern Link Road Tunnel Project (the project). The Department of Infrastructure and Planning (DIP) managed the impact assessment process on my behalf in accordance with the SDPWO Act. Brisbane City Council (the proponent) is proposing to construct the project to link the Centenary Motorway at Toowong with the Inner City Bypass at Kelvin Grove. Surface works for the project extend into Mount Coot-tha and Herston. The project was declared a ‘significant project for which an EIS is required’ pursuant to s.26(1)(a) of the SDPWO Act by gazette notice on 2 November 2007. On 30 November 2007, a delegate of the Commonwealth Minister for Environment, Heritage and the Arts determined that the project was not a ‘controlled action’ under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth). Therefore no assessment under the EPBC Act is required. The EIS for the project proposed two separate unidirectional two-lane parallel road tunnels, 10 metres apart, from the Centenary Motorway to the Inner City Bypass with local connections to the tunnel at Milton Road, Toowong and Kelvin Grove Road, Kelvin Grove. The tunnel would pass below the suburbs of Toowong, Auchenflower, Paddington, Red Hill and Kelvin Grove and would also include cross passages between the two tunnels every 120 metres along their length. The purpose of the project is to assist in reducing road congestion in the western and northern areas of Brisbane. As part of an overall transport strategy, the project would help relieve congestion currently experienced on major roads from the west of Brisbane and would assist in providing an effective bypass of the Brisbane CBD. The submission period for the EIS for the project was from 25 October 2008 until 22 December 2008. A total of 213 submissions were received from State Government agencies, organisations and the public. A large majority of the submissions raised concerns with the impacts of the proposed local connections. The proponent was requested to prepare a supplementary report to the EIS which addressed the issues raised in the submissions as well as to provide information about a number of aspects of the project, including information on the impacts of a ‘no local connections’ option. On 20 April 2009, the proponent announced that it had removed the local connections at both Kelvin Grove and Toowong from the proposed project. I understand that, among other things, the proponent considered the concerns raised by submitters

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.

(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

  • Local Heritage Register
    Explanatory Notes for Development Assessment Local Heritage Register Amendments to the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, Schedule 8 and 8A of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, the Integrated Planning Regulation 1998, and the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 became effective on 31 March 2008. All aspects of development on a Local Heritage Place in a Local Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, are code assessable (unless City Plan 2000 requires impact assessment). Those code assessable applications are assessed against the Code in Schedule 2 of the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 and the Heritage Place Code in City Plan 2000. City Plan 2000 makes some aspects of development impact assessable on the site of a Heritage Place and a Heritage Precinct. Heritage Places and Heritage Precincts are identified in the Heritage Register of the Heritage Register Planning Scheme Policy in City Plan 2000. Those impact assessable applications are assessed under the relevant provisions of the City Plan 2000. All aspects of development on land adjoining a Heritage Place or Heritage Precinct are assessable solely under City Plan 2000. ********** For building work on a Local Heritage Place assessable against the Building Act 1975, the Local Government is a concurrence agency. ********** Amendments to the Local Heritage Register are located at the back of the Register.

  • Mixed Evidence from Two Inner City Areas in Brisbane Simon Huston
    Urban Design and Boosterism of Property Sub-Markets: Mixed Evidence from Two Inner City Areas in Brisbane Simon Huston And Marek Kozlowski School Of Geography, Planning And Architecture University Of Queensland, St Lucia Qld 4072, Australia Abstract In recent years Australia has witnessed a spate of inner city revitalisation projects as part of a general trend in urban renewal. Inner city redevelopments have transformed parts of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and other Australian cities. In this article we explore the impact of urban design, one of the tools of the redevelopment process, on the property market by considering two major projects in inner Brisbane where the selected sites and adjacent neighbourhoods have evolved from working class into upper-middle and high-income class enclaves. We also investigate relationships between the changing urban environment and property prices of the two studied redevelopment sites and their surrounding areas. The paper provides some mixed evidence that urban design master planned inner city enclaves might boost property prices however evidence is inconclusive because property submarkets in the two locations are segmented by heterogeneity of building stock, accessibility and the effects of urban blight. Inner City Transformation in Australia The past two decades have witnessed a major shift in urban policies towards refurbishing the decaying inner city areas. Although there is no question that inner city redevelopments improve and enhance degraded built environments, there is mounting criticism that such transformations cater to only a select group of the community. Further, they often result in disconnection from the remaining fabric of the city (Fainstein 1994, Marshall 2003, Meyer 1999).
