  • 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.

  • 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).

  • Eleanor Schonell Bridge
    Value-mapping for major economic infrastructure projects by Judy Ann Kraatz B. Design Studies (Hons) University of Queensland B. Architecture (Hons) University of Queensland A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering School of Urban Development Queensland University of Technology August 2009 Table of Contents This page has been left blank. - ii - Table of Contents Abstract The establishment of corporate objectives regarding economic, environmental, social, and ethical responsibilities, to inform business practice, has been gaining credibility in the business sector since the early 1990’s. This is witnessed through (i) the formation of international forums for sustainable and accountable development, (ii) the emergence of standards, systems, and frameworks to provide common ground for regulatory and corporate dialogue, and (iii) the significant quantum of relevant popular and academic literature in a diverse range of disciplines. How then has this move towards greater corporate responsibility become evident in the provision of major urban infrastructure projects? The gap identified, in both academic literature and industry practice, is a structured and auditable link between corporate intent and project outcomes. Limited literature has been discovered which makes a link between corporate responsibility; project performance indicators (or critical success factors) and major infrastructure provision. This search revealed that a comprehensive mapping framework, from an organisation’s corporate objectives through to intended, anticipated and actual outcomes and impacts has not yet been developed for the delivery of such projects. The research problem thus explored is ‘the need to better identify, map and account for the outcomes, impacts and risks associated with economic, environmental, social and ethical outcomes and impacts which arise from major economic infrastructure projects, both now, and into the future’.
