The community consultations are for the concept design released by Brisbane City Council in November 2021. Residents can provide feedback on elements such as the design of the landing locations, landscaping and urban design features, pedestrian and cyclist facilities or the overall bridge design. The locals’ feedback will be used for conceptualising the bridge’s final design.
Concept Design
The Toowong to West End Green Bridge will link West End to Toowong and St Lucia. One of the highlights of the bridge is the new landscaped riverfront green space and landing plaza, with viewing platforms and seating providing space to rest and enjoy river views.
“The concept design aims to provide a modern bridge structure that touches lightly on the river’s edge and provides new ways to enjoy the river and local parks,” said Brisbane City Council.
Other key features of the green bridge include shade along the length of the walking path and a landing at Orleigh Park that minimises impacts on open space and provides a direct connection to the walking and cycling network.
“In West End, the landing will preserve existing heritage features and trees, where possible, to incorporate new and upgraded facilities such as seating, lighting and signage – a win for the local community and residents,” said Cr James Mackay.
It will feature a a curved single-mast cable stay bridge form with a length of about 280m and mast height of 75m above water level and a single water-based pier on the Toowong side of the
Brisbane River to minimise impacts on river users.
Works could commence on the Toowong to West End Green Bridge as soon as 2024, subject to funding and approvals, with each bridge expected to take around two years to complete.
