  • Lord Mayor MEDIA RELEASE
    Adrian Schrinner Lord Mayor MEDIA RELEASE Community consultation kicks off for new bridges Brisbane is one step closer to five new bridges taking cars off the road and giving people a new way to travel, with Brisbane City Council now seeking community feedback on the transformational $550 million plan. Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said he had a vision for a cleaner, greener and more active Brisbane and these new bridges would tackle traffic congestion by improving cross-river public and active transport connections. “These five bridges will transform Brisbane and make us an active, healthy and better connected city,” he said. “My very first act as Lord Mayor was to announce this plan and I am now handing the planning over the people of Brisbane as we want to hear the community’s thoughts on the proposed alignment of the bridges. “The community is crucial in the planning and delivery of these five bridges, as this infrastructure will transform the way residents and visitors get around Brisbane. “The business case for the first bridge, a pedestrian bridge connecting Kangaroo Point to the CBD, outlined that the bridge would result in 83,950 fewer car trips using river crossings each year. “With the preliminary business case for the Kangaroo Point Bridge now complete, it’s time to start planning for the other for cross-river connections. “Brisbane currently has more than 2.2 million residents and 1300 people move to our great city each month. “We know Brisbane is a great place to live, work and relax and these bridges are critical infrastructure to ensure as Brisbane grows, we remain a well-connected city.” Cr Schrinner said community consultation would run from November 11 to 6 December and would include a variety of ways for people to have their say, including 12 information sessions.

As Australia’s New World City and gateway to Asia, Brisbane is emerging as a thriving hub for business and innovation. The Draft Brisbane City Centre Master Plan 2013 has been developed to ensure we capitalise on this vast potential and seize today’s opportunities. Brisbane’s economy is predicted to double over the next 20 years, with demand for office, retail, residential and hotel space in the city centre expected to equate to around 50 new towers. Brisbane City Council’s master plan sets the vision for an open city – open for business, an open outdoor lifestyle and a vibrant heart that’s open for all to enjoy. A thriving city centre is vital to Brisbane’s continued prosperity and the quality of life we enjoy. This plan delivers a coordinated strategy to guide future growth and investment in our city centre over the next 20 years, while ensuring a safe and attractive city heart is a continuing source of pride. The plan promotes Brisbane’s continued maturation as an energetic, subtropical city with the public spaces, transport and infrastructure necessary to support the expansion of business and lifestyle precincts. I thank the residents, industry experts and members of the business community who have provided valuable input into this important plan for the future of Australia’s New World City.

  • Kurilpa Futures' Green Bridges Submission
    Kurilpa Futures Submission to BCC on Green Bridges - Toowong to West End and St Lucia to West End [email protected] Kurilpa Futures (KF) is pleased to provide a submission on the proposed Green Bridges to West End, noting that the deadline to provide feedback on these complex proposals was sensibly extended to 31 March. KF recognises that green bridges could be a valuable part of the overdue shift towards active transport, in an area of very rapid current and continuing population growth, and accepts that West End is an integral part of an active and inter-dependent inner city and wider metropolis. However, we continue to have many concerns about the consultation process and the bridge options as outlined below. Community consultation We remain concerned that the ‘push polling’ online survey on the Brisbane City Council website constrains participants to identify and support one of three preferred bridge options in the two locations, giving no opportunity to raise concerns and seek more information, nor to register a ‘no bridge’ position. Kurilpa Futures considers that untimely, rushed community engagement and unpublished incomplete information has already served to escalate confusion and division among residents. Council has also not allowed the community to consider and provide feedback on the costs and benefits of alternatives to bridges, such as a “lateral bridge” river walk/cycle way from West End to Dutton Park and the existing Eleanor Schonell Bridge, or improvement to ferry services and bus routes. Support for active transport infrastructure on the Kurilpa peninsula We are concerned that Council has decided to proceed with significant expenditure on these bridges without demonstrating how they will deliver other more affordable and effective active transport initiatives outlined in the South Brisbane Transport and Mobility Study (DTMR: 2019).

It covers the policy framework and the incentives in place to encourage the conservation of heritage places, including built heritage. We've already talked to a large number of different organisations and individuals with interests in heritage conservation in most of the states and territories, including some fascinating rural and regional visits - Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and here in Queensland. Submissions have been coming to the inquiry following the release of our issues paper about two months ago, and we now have about 25 submissions, all of which are on our web site. The purpose of these hearings is to provide an opportunity for any interested parties to discuss their submissions with the Commission and put their views on the public record.

  • Entertainment in Brisbane - Recollections
    10 ENTERTAINMENT IN BRISBANE - RECOLLECTIONS By The President NORMAN S. PIXLEY, C.M.G., M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt O.N., F.R. Hist S.Q. Read at the Annual Meeting of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland, 23 September 1976. Brisbane in the early years of this century was rich in enter­ tainment. It could be claimed that in those years the city's character was formed; and the theatre, both professional and amateur, had a big part in that forming. To those of us who lived through those times, when radio and television were something for wild imagining, the memories are wide and many. My family lived at old "Prospect" in Main Street Kangaroo Point and that was most convenient: it was close to the Edward Street ferry, with the steam ferries "Kangaroo" and "Emu" (later replaced by the larger "Ena") which ran from early morning until after theatre closing time at night From then until morning the service was continued with a pulling boat propelled by the sturdy arms of Jack Rowswell, an elderly ex-seaman, which catered for the "night-birds". It was a mile walk along Main Street to the Brisbane Cricket Ground at WooUoongabba where, in addition to some of the cricket "greats" such as Victor Trumper in action, we saw cycle races including "pacing" behind a motor cycle with long handle bars, and Krown the motor cyclist in the saddle with cap back to front and goggles. On one occasion Dahn Rinaldo, advertised as the famous parachutist rose from the Cricket Ground on a tra­ peze beneath a hot air balloon and, after reaching what did not appear to be a great height made his descent using three parachutes consecutively, the first being red, the second white and the third a blue one, with which he landed safely near the East Brisbane State School.

  • Brisbane Economic Series G20 Edition
    investbrisbane.com.au BRISBANE ECONOMIC SERIES G20 EDITION TOP REASONS WHY BRISBANE IS A GLOBAL 5 RESOURCE HUB Brisbane a global think tank Leading from the front Q&A with CSIRO BRISBANE ECONOMIC SERIES G20 EDITION For Brisbane, the opportunity to host the 2014 G20 Leaders Summit and the leaders of the world’s most influential economies is recognition of the city’s evolution into a new world city. The Summit will place Brisbane squarely in the global spotlight and offers a once-in-a generation chance to show off our vibrant and entrepreneurial business community, world-class facilities and enviable subtropical lifestyle. Being the Summit host city for 2014 positions Brisbane as a strong competitor among other emerging new world cities of the 21st century. It is a profile the city continues to build on, as a leading destination for business investment, exports, education, conventions, tourism and the arts. These industries along with our work to cultivate innovation and creativity have helped drive Brisbane’s strong economic success, which over the last decade has grown to $135 billion and is forecast to increase to $217 billion by 2031. In a first for the G20, Brisbane will launch the Global Cafe – an initiative bringing together some of the world’s most influential thinkers. The two day program of key-note speeches, discussions and workshops will explore issues of health, technology, tourism and the future of cities. The Global Cafe is a bold concept which we hope will be adopted by other G20 cities in the future. Brisbane City Council along with Brisbane Marketing has been doing a lot behind the scenes to leverage this once-in-a- generation opportunity for Brisbane.

  • West End Green Bridges: Connecting Or Dividing Communities
    West End Green Bridges: connecting or dividing communities. westender.com.au/west-end-green-bridges-connecting-or-dividing-communities/ Jan Bowman March 29, 2021 The Westender has closely followed Council and community responses to the proposed green bridges program to West End from St Lucia and Toowong, and we provide here a timeline of the process from the announcement until now. There have been several Council information sessions, and politicians and various community and interest groups have run forums and a range of online polls. Following these efforts, it remains difficult to know whether the community is any closer to agreeing on either the number of bridges or their preferred landing points. Bridges Announced Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner announced his $550 million proposal for five new ‘green bridges’ for Brisbane by letter to residents on 27 May 2019. He said the plan would tackle traffic congestion in the city. Michael Berkman Greens MP for Maiwar, and Councillor Jonathan Sri welcomed the announcement. 1/22 “It’s fantastic that the LNP Council has adopted the Greens’ plan for new green bridges in Brisbane, but we need to see proper consultation, and ten years is too long to wait,” Michael Berkman said in November 2019. Consultation Phase One Council initiated a short, four-week period of public consultation from 11 November to 6 December 2020. Community groups West End Community Association (WECA) and Kurilpa Futures, and local Councillor, Jonathan Sri, immediately expressed their disappointment about the consultation timeframe and the lack of meaningful data and proposed criteria for the next phase of the process.
