In 2018, Brisbane City Council (BCC) conducted a study to investigate several river crossings with potential to improve the economic, social and transport interconnectivity of the city. This study identified areas which would benefit from further assessment, which in turn led to the commission of the New Green Bridges for Brisbane study. This report forms part of the New Green Bridges for Brisbane prefeasibility assessment. focusing on the West End, St Lucia and Toowong areas. The aim of the study in this area is to identify suitable options for bridge crossing locations of the Brisbane River and complete a pre-feasibility assessment of the various options in to develop an understanding of the critical considerations, which will require further investigation in future project stages. Arup conducted an initial site visit with Council Stakeholders to compile a list of conceptual crossing options and identify the opportunities and constraints with each. With much of the site visit conducted by bicycle or on foot, it allowed a firsthand experience of how future users may use the landing sites and onward connections. The site visit and further engagement with Council resulted in five potential bridge crossing options from West End to Toowong, and four options for the West End to St Lucia connection. Figure 1 Location plan These options were assessed by a Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) assessment, where stakeholders representing key The comprehensive MCA tables are contained in Section 5 of divisions within Council contributed through attendance and this prefeasibility report. participation at a MCA workshop. The MCA process This report discusses the most critical considerations of these considered the following: sites as identified through the site visit, desktop assessment and MCA process, providing conclusions and recommendations for • Transport functionality; future stages. • City and place making opportunities; • Environment (including heritage); • Social; and • Bridge crossing length. 265158-CIST-RPT-003 | 5 | 6 November 2019 | Arup Page 1 of 32 Brisbane City Council Bridges for Brisbane West End to Toowong & West End to St Lucia Pre-feasibility Assessment 2 Site introduction BICENTENNIAL BIKEWAY GO-BETWEEN BRIDGE • From Brisbane City to Toowong • South Bank to Milton adjacent to the Brisbane River and • Vehicular / pedestrian / bicycle Coronation Drive bridge • >5,000 people per day by bicycle • Segregated bicycle and pedestrian paths • 11.4m above HAT navigation clearance TOOWONG • Inner city suburb • Population approx. 11K • Density 2,124/km2 VICTORIA BRIDGE • Attractions: Regatta Hotel, Royal • South Brisbane to Brisbane City Exchange Hotel, Toowong Village, • Vehicular / bus / pedestrian / bicycle Toowong Cemetery.

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.

This bikeway is one of the most highly utilised pedestrian and cyclist (both recreational and commuter) routes in south east Queensland. Due to sustained growth in usage since its construction in 1988, the Bicentennial Bikeway is now operating at full capacity. The proposed diversion works project is critical to the completion of the Bicentennial Bikeway which is being progressively widened from Toowong to the CBD. This upgrade aims to meet the future demand for both pedestrians and cyclists and provides improved access to the Go Between Bridge Bikeway. The diversion works will see improvement to the city cycle network through pathway upgrades and widening, improved lighting and on-road cycling facilities. To enable the Bicentennial Bikeway section east of the Go Between Bridge to be upgraded, a diversion path is required on the southern side of the Brisbane River. The proposed diversion works project, provides an alternative travel route to the CBD during the construction of the main bikeway providing access from the Bicentennial Bikeway to GOMA and Southbank and from West End to the CBD.

  • Question on Notice No. 531 Asked on Thursday 15 March 2007 MR BOMBOLAS Asked the Minister for Transport and Main Roads
    Question on Notice No. 531 Asked on Thursday 15 March 2007 MR BOMBOLAS asked the Minister for Transport and Main Roads (MR LUCAS)— QUESTION: Will he provide an update on the new direct bus service to the University of Queensland and its benefits, particularly for the constituents of the Chatsworth Electorate? ANSWER: I thank the Honourable Member for his question. The Eleanor Schonell Bridge, colloquially known as the Green Bridge, opened on 17 December 2006. To take advantage of the new bridge, the Queensland Government, through TransLink, introduced new bus services in Brisbane at a cost of approximately $4.1m per annum. These are routes 109 from the city, 169 from Eight Mile Plains and route 209 from Carindale. Route 109 was introduced on 18 December 2006, followed by routes 169 and 209 on 19 February 2007. These services are fully funded by the State Government and operated by Brisbane Transport. Route 109 runs from the city to The University of Queensland (UQ) Lakes Station via the Eleanor Schonell Bridge. This service runs every 8 – 10 minutes during university peaks and every 10 -15 minutes off-peak on weekdays and every 20 minutes on weekends. This equates to 767 trips each week. Passengers from the city save about three minutes travel time using route 109 across the new bridge, compared to existing services on Coronation Drive. Route 209 runs from the Carindale Interchange to UQ via the Eleanor Schonell Bridge. This service operates every 15 minutes on weekdays and 30 minutes on weekends all year round. This equates to 518 trips each week.

  • 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.

Even today cross-river ferries play a leading role in getting residents across a wide and fast flowing river. The first bridge over any part of the Brisbane River was a (primarily) wooden one opened in 1865 to carry pedestrians and carts between South and North Brisbane, approximately where the Victoria Bridge is today.1 Made of Stringy Bark it survived termite attacks for only two years, and then it was back to the ferries.
