  • Milton Brewery Spill Lighting Measurements

The Development Approval for the site does not include conditions for light emissions. Therefore, measurements of light emissions as a result of existing brewery operations have been conducted to serve as a benchmark for future reference at potentially light-sensitive developments established near the brewery. The Milton Brewery is a continuous 24/7 operation, and as such requires external lighting for functionality, worker safety and security. One (1) neon light advertising the Milton Brewery’s main product brand, “XXXX”, is located atop one of the buildings on the Milton Road frontage, and additional lighting of the building facade is provided for aesthetic purposes. The “XXXX” sign is generally regarded as an icon in Queensland and Brisbane. Photographs of the “XXXX” sign and other relevant features of the Milton Road frontage of the brewery are shown in Figure 1.

  • Brisbane West – Core Frequent Network
    Brisbane West – Core Frequent Network Direct, Legible, Frequent The Current Bus Network The western suburbs of Brisbane are a typical suburban area, with a variety of both major and minor trip generators. The key regional activity centres in this area include: Mt Ommaney Centre Indooroopilly Shopping Centre Toowong Shopping Centre Inala Plaza University of Queensland All bar Mt Ommaney Centre are currently serviced by the frequent network (BUZ routes, and in the case of Toowong and to a lesser extent Indooroopilly, frequent rail), with Mt Ommaney having reasonable frequencies the majority of the time to the CBD thanks to the combination of the 450, 453, 454 and 460. Unfortunately, beyond these centres, huge swathes of the western suburbs are victims of poor frequency, illegible bus routes and unnecessary duplication. The Kenmore area is a very good example of an area which suffers from an illegible network of bus routes. At the Kenmore Road at Kenmore South, stop 44 stop, there are five bus routes which depart from this location in peak – the 430, 431, 432, 433 and 446. While in peak these routes can be combined to provide decent frequency, in the PM peak, these routes depart from multiple locations, splitting frequency and duplicating routes. The peak-hour express routes listed (431, 446) also run no more than a few times every day and on an infrequent basis, contributing to an illegible network. Duplication is also a hallmark of the network. The most duplicated corridor in this region is the Coronation Drive corridor to Toowong, which in the off-peak has 24 buses per hour running down it.

  • 15 April 2020 Mr Michael Berkman MP Member for Maiwar Maiwar
    Our ref: MC112151 15 April 2020 Mr Michael Berkman MP Member for Maiwar [email protected] Dear Mr Berkman Thank you for your letters about various issues on MetRoad 5 and the meeting held with representatives from the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) on 14 November 2019. I apologise for the delay in responding. TMR has advised the following in relation to the issues raised in your letters. Boundary Road/Rouen Road, Bardon Red pavement marking TMR has further assessed its advice about installation of a red pavement zebra crossing and has determined that this treatment would have minimal benefit. However, in order to improve motorists’ awareness of the pedestrian crossing, TMR has undertaken the following treatments: • hi-visibility target boards installed on the pedestrian crossing signs • advance pedestrian crossing warning signs installed • reflective hand rails or yellow bars installed in the pedestrian staging area • new asphalt with zebra crossing line marked with long-life thermoplastic white lines • installation of advance pavement messages advising of the crossing • vegetation clearing maintenance undertaken on the roundabout. TMR will continue to monitor this location to determine the effectiveness of these treatments and to further modify as appropriate. Speed limit review TMR has undertaken a speed data survey in the area of Latrobe Terrace and MetRoad 5, with a further speed limit review covering the Rouen and Boundary Roads roundabout leg expected to be completed by the end of this financial year. The review will consider crash history, traffic volumes and prevailing speeds, road function and characteristics. Once the review is complete, it will be tabled at a meeting of the local speed management committee for discussion and endorsement.
