  • Technical Report 7 Air Quality Impact Assessment: Brisbane Northern Link Project
    TECHNICAL REPORT 7 AIR QUALITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT: BRISBANE NORTHERN LINK PROJECT 24 July 2008 Prepared for Sinclair Knight Merz / Connell Wagner Joint Venture by Holmes Air Sciences Suite 2B, 14 Glen St Eastwood NSW 2122 Phone : (02) 9874 8644 Fax : (02) 9874 8904 Email : [email protected] Holmes Air Sciences EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following report presents an analysis of the air quality impacts of the proposed Brisbane Northern Link Project (the “Project”). The Project involves the construction and operation of an underground toll road (tunnel) between the Western Freeway, in Toowong, and the Inner City Bypass (ICB), at Kelvin Grove. The study focuses on air quality impacts arising from the Project. The study has attempted to answer the following questions: • How would air quality change as a result of the Project? • How do the air quality impacts of the Project compare with the “do nothing” case? • Would the Project achieve compliance with air quality goals? Computer-based dispersion modelling has been used as the primary tool to assist with the assessment. Various existing and future scenarios have been simulated and compared in order to gain a greater understanding of the likely impacts that the Project would have on the local air quality. From the assessments that have been undertaken the following conclusions were drawn: • Pollutant concentrations in the study area in future years (2014+), arising from motor vehicles, would be expected to be similar to existing (2007) concentrations. This is the case both with and without the Project. • Model results for future years are considered to be conservative since no further improvements to vehicle emissions have been taken into account.

  • 67 SOME NOTES on COORPAROO. (By the Late Professor CUMBRAE STEWART)
    67 SOME NOTES ON COORPAROO. (By the late Professor CUMBRAE STEWART). (Read by Mr. C. G. Austin at a meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, July 26, 1938). When the boat of the colonial cutter "Mermaid" passed up the Brisbane River on Tuesday, December 2nd, 1823, with John Oxley, Surveyor General, of New South Wales, and Lieutenant Stirling of "The Buffs," the mouth of a water course or tributary {o the river was noticed on the southern bank, and marked on the chart. This tributary, afterwards known as Norman Creek, received the waters falling on an area roughly shaped like a horseshoe, the watershed of which is a line of heights ending in Galloway's Hill on the east and on the west in Highgate Hill. On the western side the chief stream feeding the Norman were those which formed the "One Mile Swamp" now, in great part, carried by a tunnel into the river, and, further south, the waters of King­ fisher Creek. Norman Creek itself receives the waters flowing down from the southern watershed, of which the chief natural feature is Mount Gravatt. On its eastern bank, the Norman Creek is fed by Coorparoo and Bridgewater Creeks, which are water­ courses rather than permanently flowing streams until they reach salt water. The suburb now knowm as Coorparoo may be described as the ground drained by these twd creeks, swampy in the flats along the Norman, but, for the most part, high lying and well drained, open to the cool sea breezes from the north­ west, and affording an excellent panoramic view of the city.
