Newnham & Wecker Rd project update - June 2022
The construction of the Newnham Rd and Wecker Rd intersection upgrade are progressing well despite ongoing setbacks with Brisbane weather.
Work on the eastern side of Newnham Rd are almost complete.
Manly Rd Greener Suburbs Project Update
I’m pleased to say that the first section of Council’s Greener Suburbs project has been completed on the corner of Manly Rd & Greencamp Rd and boy is it looking good!
In 2021, Council announced two Greener Suburbs projects along Manly Rd, the first at Greencamp Rd and the second at Hargreaves Rd.
The latter project, which is due to take place this year, aims to improve the clean, green feel of our suburbs through tree planting and landscaping.
Bridgnorth St Park Upgrade Party
After 12 months of planning, consulting and constructing, the Bridgnorth Street Park upgraded is complete and was presented to the public in a celebration a couple weeks ago.
The Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner joined me in officially opening the park with more than 400 people from the community.
Bridgnorth St Park update
I am pleased to say that the long-awaited Bridgnorth St Park upgrade is currently underway with no delays.
Construction began in late January with the park starting to take shape over the last week as the shade sails, footpaths and landscaping are completed.
The native Australian animal-themed playground has also been installed and will be enjoyed by many children in our community very soon.
Manly Rd Greener Suburbs Project
In late 2021, Council announced two Greener Suburbs projects along Manly Rd at its intersections with Greencamp Rd and Hargreaves Rd.
These programs aim to impove the clean, green feel of locations across Brisbane through increased tree planting and landscaping.
It certainly adds to the character of neighboring Wakerley and the eastside as the program continues to move into more suburbs.
Bridgnorth St Park upgrade starting soon
I’m happy to announce that the upgrade of Bridgnorth St Park is around the corner, with a construction start date of the 24th of January, 2022 weather permitting.
I certainly apologise for the delay that occurred due to global supply chain issues related to the shipping industry; however, the good news is that now both stages of the upgrade will be delivered at the same time.
Chelsea and Rickertt Rd Update - November 2021
The Chelsea Rd and Rickertt Rd upgrade is progressing incredibly well, with 75% now complete on the intersection and over 80% of the Wakerley Bikeway complete.
Despite the week lost due to wet-weather, the project is still on track to open mid-December and in time for Christmas.
Old Cleveland Rd safety improvements
This week I was notified by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) that design work is in progress to provide safety improvements along the Old Cleveland Rd/Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Rd corridor.
This $500,000 project aims to improve safety, network efficiency and increase traffic flow along the busy roads.
Eastern Transitway Stage 1 nears completion
Stage 1 of the project is well underway on Old Cleveland Road, between Narracott Street and Carindale Street, and at the Old Cleveland Road and Creek Road intersection.
The concrete retainers are up, the railings are in and the footpath has begun to be laid. Construction is expected to be completed later this year and I am excited to see how the changes will benefit our local roads.
