the Bulimba Barracks in 2020 buying it from the Department of Defence who had owned it since 2015 when the Commonwealth government disposed of the site as a defence asset Since 2020 the majority of the buildings that were part of the barracks from World War II to the 1980s have been demolished The only building that has been retained is the fabrication workshop which was a barge building shop in World War II That will form one of three buildings for the first stage of the redevelopment of the 20.73-hectare site Shayher is first focusing on a 6,382 sqm block fronting Apollo Road in the northwest corner of the site They're planning two low-rise apartment buildings with 69 apartments separated by a laneway from the fabrication workshop which will be restored The fabrication workshop will home a display suite during the market and construction phase of the development, before being converted into a food and beverage hospitality venue with a cafe and outdoor dining next to the Brisbane River Shayher had Buchan Group put together the plans for the two three-level buildings While not having to bow to strict heritage rules given the former factories on the block had been torn down there was the consciousness that the buildings be located The 69 apartments will be split across two buildings that will be divided by a central community garden complete with a 13-metre resident

exciting opportunity for the renewal of an underutilised site and activation to the surrounding area "The focus for the development will be on providing a new offering to the local area The

– a 30-metre high bridge to allow Brisbane River traffic to pass below or a lower drawbridge similar to Auckland’s Wynyard Crossing like Argentina’s Puente de la Mujer in Buenos Aires The 30-metre option was considered unviable because of the impact of the long approaches in Bulimba and Teneriffe but the report said a bridge with an “opening mechanism” was feasible “A review indicated that an active transport bridge would be feasible from a technical perspective,” the Arup study commissioned by the Department of Transport and Main Roads “The competing constraints of river clearance – vertical and horizontal – are able to be balanced with the need for a ramp of limited grade and length “Sufficient potential locations exist for a bridge to land on either shore and the technology to provide an opening span exists and has been tested at many existing bridges.” The study identified eight possible green bridge links however the locations of these links were redacted in the documents released under RTI The report found the bridge would cut 10 minutes from a bus trip from the Bulimba peninsula to the city residents in approximately one-quarter of Bulimba would have reduced travel

used by up to 3600 people daily and would greatly improve cycling links around Brisbane’s CBD The study found ferry crossings and bus links were slow and the green bridge could reduce car and cycle crashes on both sides of the river which numbered more than 800 between 2006 and 2013 “This suggests that an active transport bridge between Bulimba and Hawthorne could provide a safer alternative for cyclists currently riding to the city via Hawthorne Road and Riding Road which have an established crash history,” it says “Cyclists could access the bridge crossing via various routes and connect to an off-road cycle path that leads directly to the CBD.” While the 30-metre fixed bridge that was ruled out by the study would be the equivalent height of the Story Bridge the drawbridge would be similar in height above high tide to other Brisbane bridges the Goodwill Bridge cost $27 million in 2001 the Kurilpa Bridge cost $63 million in 2009 is expected to be delivered with a $190 million price tag including the Wynyard Crossing bridge in Auckland and the pedestrian and cycling Infinity Bridge in Stockton-on-Tees in north-east England which also suggests an “opening bridge” could draw tourists “The fact that it is an opening bridge may be enough to attract visitors similar to the Palace Bridge in St Petersburg or the Tower Bridge in London,” it says The Infinity Bridge in north-east England is one of a dozen bridge styles studied for the 2016 Arup Teneriffe to Bulimba report The possibility of a green bridge east of the Story Bridge has been considered by the Queensland government for more than a decade In 2019, Brisbane City Council promised $550 million for new green bridges and committed $300 million for the next two at Kangaroo Point and Breakfast Creek. Brisbane City Council active transport chairman Ryan Murphy said council had no plans to build a bridge between Bulimba and Teneriffe. “We know there are high levels of uncertainty around building this bridge and we are not prepared to commit ratepayers’ money towards a project that would be over eight times the cost of the Goodwill Bridge and deliver a quarter of the patronage,” he said.

Urbis regional director Ben Slack said a green bridge in that reach of the Brisbane River made sense Mr Slack’s firm released a concept image this year of proposed 2032 Brisbane Olympic venues that featured a bridge from Newstead to Bulimba “The Bulimba to Teneriffe [area] could be re-examined as part of a further stage of the green bridges initiative,” Mr Slack said include more detailed studies and community consultation issues with landing points and impacts on existing properties.” Mr Slack said the bridge would need to be designed to ensure river traffic was not compromised which could potentially add costs to its construction a connected city is more efficient and liveable and hopefully this bridge is further investigated post the forthcoming consultation regarding Toowong to West End and St Lucia to West End,” he said Council public and active transport chairman Ryan Murphy said a 2016 study commissioned by the Transport and Main Roads Department and obtained by Brisbane Times under Right to Information laws last month ruled out a 30-metre-high bridge Cr Murphy said a lower bridge that could open to allow river traffic to pass was an “even worse option” Such a bridge would have operational costs of more than $200,000 a year and have noise and safety impacts for residents “If the Premier will not commit to this white elephant bridge then why should Brisbane ratepayers?” he said Transport Minister Mark Bailey said the council had been consulted throughout the project as a major stakeholder and was provided with a copy in June 2016 despite claims the report had been kept secret until last week “Council manages the local road networks at either end of where a new bridge between Bulimba and Teneriffe could go .. so they need to take the lead with this,” he said RACQ’s Bridging Brisbane study included two references to future bus pedestrian and cycling bridges between Teneriffe and Bulimba-Hawthorne “Stage one includes a bridge from the CBD Botanic Gardens to Kangaroo Point stage two a connecting bridge from Dockside ferry terminal to Merthyr Road at New Farm Riverwalk and the final stage a bridge from Merthyr Road to the Hawthorne ferry terminal,” the RACQ report says The Morning Edition newsletter is our guide to the day’s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.

the Queensland PGA Foursomes Championship with Jack Munro Sim had to fire late to match the mark set by both Harrison and Wood Two birdies in his final three holes brought Sim level but he needed to convert an eight-foot par putt on the last to finish tied at the top “I actually hit a close shot into the first and missed it,” revealed Sim pictured with Bulimba Golf Club General Manager Neil Harrington and Mark Harrison “I made the turn in 1-under and felt like teeing the ball up We don’t hit many lob wedges and sand wedges off a tee and just felt like the ball was going a little further

release a secret Bulimba-to-Teneriffe green bridge study to Brisbane City Council amid ongoing work to pin down the location of the council’s fifth proposed inner-city river crossing The 2016 feasibility study for a Bulimba-to-Teneriffe “active transport bridge” sought to probe potential development of the long-floated link but found more work needed to be done to determine its cost The study area’s western-shore range spanned from New Farm Park to the Teneriffe Ferry Terminal.Credit: File Produced as an “internal technical document” the study was not intended to be released publicly a Transport and Main Roads Department spokesman said TMR is planning to provide a copy to Brisbane City Council for their internal planning purposes.” The council has been calling for access to the study after state Labor MPs Grace Grace and Di Farmer along with Labor’s Morningside ward councillor and deputy opposition leader Kara Cook petitioned the council last year to do its own research into new river crossings east of the Story Bridge Two further petitions have recently been put to the council which called for feasibility work and community consultation on an eastern suburbs green bridge the council said it was aware the state government had allocated $125,000 for early work into “a bridge” by mid-2016 and was yet to be provided with a final report While denying a Brisbane Times request to view the document the department spokesman said key findings revolved around heights for the clearance of vessels on the river below Bulimba residents at a public meeting on the topic of a cross-river bridge to Teneriffe in 2010 also addressed by then-infrastructure minister Stirling Hinchliffe.Credit: Tony Moore “Due to the uncertainty regarding the location opening mechanism and architectural form of the structure the potential cost of a Bulimba-Teneriffe active transport bridge could only be determined after further investigation and analysis,” he said The study area ranged from New Farm Park to the Teneriffe Ferry Terminal No further investigation or planning has been carried out by the department since Locations east of the Story Bridge are being considered, among others, for the site of the council’s fifth planned green bridge after residents of Belbowrie and Wacol poured water on earlier plans for a link of their own last year The final location and design of two others out for consultation in West End are also in limbo almost a year after the council’s re-election on a pledge to put $550 million towards the new pedestrian and cyclist crossings Public and active transport committee chair Ryan Murphy said the state government had not given a reason why multiple council requests for the Bulimba study were knocked back Cr Murphy said it would be an "irresponsible" use of public funds for the council to spend money on already funded work Labor was using as a political "tool" across multiple levels of government The department would not be drawn on why it had not passed on the report Labor's council opposition also wanted a feasibility study and community consultation for a bridge east of the Story Bridge She said the LNP administration needed to be upfront and “tell the community a timeframe and deliver an outcome” after other green bridge sites were pitched without prior input Years of discussion around bridges linking the eastern suburbs has highlighted the challenges of a necessary clearance height equivalent to the Story Bridge — more than 30 metres above the river — a large distance to span and limited undeveloped landing sites Community opinion has often also been polarised around whether even a green bridge was suitable In 2010, then-infrastructure minister Stirling Hinchliffe told Bulimba residents any proposed

Brisbane's public transport boss has ruled out a council-funded free ferry service, despite more than 500 residents asking for it. On Tuesday, Brisbane City Council’s Public and Active Transport Committee discussed a 505-signature petition requesting the council immediately make the cross-river ferry services from Bulimba to Teneriffe free for all passengers. A 505-signature petition was submitted to Brisbane City Council calling for the Bulimba to Teneriffe cross river ferry to be made free.Credit: Michelle Smith Chairman Adrian Schrinner said the council did not support the introduction of a free service. “The services between Bulimba and Teneriffe are not underutilised, so you don’t need a free service to boost patronage,” he said. The only free ferry service in Brisbane is the City Hopper, which Cr Schrinner said was made free after the 2011 floods to stimulate economic activity and visitation into the inner-city area. About 6800 people catch the CityCat or cross-river ferry from Bulimba each week, making it one of the city’s busiest terminals. Morningside councillor Kara Cook started the petition for the free service during her election campaign ahead of her successful win at the January byelection. Cr Cook said her biggest concern with the lack of free cross-river services is that Bulimba was on a peninsula, had traffic problems and so using public transport needed to be encouraged. “A free cross-river ferry between Bulimba and Teneriffe is a low-cost congestion-busting initiative," she said. “The LNP council has completely missed the point. They have given no valid reason why this is not a viable congestion-busting option. "This is about getting people out of their cars and on to public transport." Cr Schrinner said the council would write to TransLink to ask whether it supported the request and was prepared to accept the loss of revenue. Cr Cook said she would contact the state Transport Minister Mark Bailey for an urgent meeting. The committee's four LNP councillors voted against removiong the fares, with Cr Cook and her Labor colleague Jared Cassidy (Deagon) voting for the move.

Luxury home builder turned apartment developer Graya has set a new apartment record in the affluent Brisbane riverfront suburb of Bulimba They've secured the highest price paid for a non-riverfront apartment at their Canvas Bulimba project sold for $3.5 million through project marketing agency MOTIV The four-bedroom apartment which has city views from the terrace which features its own pool and entertaining area is one of three penthouses within the luxury low-rise development under construction on Love Street The penthouse was acquired by a relative of a current Love Street resident to utilise as a secondary home when visiting Brisbane Graya co-founder and Managing Director, Rob Gray, says that while Bulimba is one of Brisbane's best suburbs it's the architecture and lifestyle offering that makes Canvas so exceptional “Its design has been curated by bureau^proberts and blends elements of Singaporean subtropical architecture with fluted concrete converging curves and dense greenery," Gray says “This has resonated strongly with the market delivering exceptional architecture and the same level of space as a large family home alongside low maintenance ”Local rightsizers and downsizers already account for more than 70 per cent of purchasers at Canvas with only two developer-held apartments remaining for release.” Graya was established in Brisbane in 2010 as a luxury home builder by brothers Rob and Andrew Gray. Three years ago, the company broadened its focus from high-end homes to high-end apartments, delivering the award-winning Maison in New Farm with Frank Developments in 2022 Today, the company is a full-service design, development and construction business with more than 35 employees across its Brisbane and Gold Coast projects “Being the developer and the builder is a definite advantage in this market,” Gray added “We’ve been able to navigate the market challenges as a team and instil confidence in our buyers that we have the capacity to deliver the project to the highest standard “Construction of Canvas is now well advanced The final penthouse within Canvas will be launched to the market in the coming weeks by MOTIV Group Founder and Chief Executive of MOTV Group, Carly Cottam, said the appetite of high-net worth buyers in Brisbane’s affluent inner-suburbs has showed no signs of slowing in 2023 “There’s simply not enough luxury property in Brisbane to meet demand,” Cottam said “High-net worth individuals are seeking location lock up and leave solution – a combination Graya has mastered “This is best evidenced by the recent $4.85 million resale of an apartment at their Maison project in New Farm representing an uplift in price of $1.25 million Canvas will deliver enduring value through its location “Nothing of this standard exists in Bulimba Australia's best free military news site Share the post "Bulimba Barracks sold for $63 million" Bulimba Barracks on the banks of the Brisbane River has been sold to developer Shayher Group to build a proposed housing development CAPTION: The Bulimba Barracks site in Brisbane – red boundary indicates the sale area blue boundary indicates the new HMAS Moreton RELATED STORY: Bulimba Barracks sold to Taiwanese backed developer Minister for Defence Industry Melissa Price and Minister for Housing Michael Sukkar announced the $63 million settlement of the prime Brisbane-river-bank site earlier today “This represents the Morrison Government’s ongoing commitment to unlock surplus Commonwealth land for alternative uses “The sale of Bulimba Barracks will unlock the potential of the site to deliver environmental Minister Sukkar said the Commonwealth government was leading by example and unlocking land to increase housing supply “While the states and territories have far greater land holdings that can be opened up for development we are committed to releasing suitable Commonwealth land for private housing development,” Minister Sukkar said “The sale of the Bulimba Barracks site has the potential to unlock the development of up to 800 new dwellings near the heart of the Brisbane now working with the Brisbane City Council to progress a detailed planning proposal.” The detailed planning proposal will include community consultation and a remediation action plan for approval by an auditor accredited by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science I hope the th real estate agents and the investors realise the poinciana tree on the water front surrounded by the deck of the building which was Sgt’s mess has great significance as its haS been there since the 1940’s and is known as the tree of knowledge There was a plaque indicating this hopefully it has been removed and placed in a museum Does the minister mean,” “This represents the Morrison Government’s ongoing commitment to unlock surplus Commonwealth land for alternative uses including housing,” BY OVERSEAS INTERESTS Minister Price said heritage and housing supply outcomes.” GREAT JUST WHAT BRISBANE NEEDS ANOTHER 1500 VEHICLES ON THEIR ALREADY GRIDLOCKED ROADS Currently you have JavaScript disabled.

Wynnum Manly Juniors have secured a fourth BRL title for the Seagulls, holding off a fast-finishing Bulimba to win 28-18 at Totally Workwear Stadium on Saturday. Savaan Tahere got Wynnum Manly Juniors off to the ideal start, given too much space at dummy half within sight of the try line and burrowing over to open the scoring in the fourth minute. A grinding battle ensued between the two teams, Bulimba winning the territory battle with the help of some errors from the Seagulls, but struggling to execute in the attacking zone. That all changed in the 22nd minute when captain Izaac Skyring ran the perfect second rower’s line to cross the stripe off a Hayden Herbert pass, making it 6-4. The momentum unravelled in the set after points when the Seagulls forced Bulldogs halfback Herbert to scramble on last tackle, before his desperate attempt at a one-handed offload missed his support and bounced into the arms of Willie Malala. The Seagulls centre ran 50 metres to score under the posts and the subsequent conversion gave Wynnum Manly Juniors an eight-point lead. Bulimba eventually wrestled back their field position and ultimately scored on the stroke of half time when Nat McGavin got his hand on a grubber kick just before the dead ball line, making it 12-8 at the break. Wynnum Manly Juniors jumped ahead five minutes after the break on the back of individual brilliance from Luke Maddaford, who sliced through and ran 60 metres after receiving a pass off a scrum in his own half. Maddaford and Bulldogs fullback Tahj Wood were sent the sin bin for a scuffle in the aftermath of the try, which made it 16-8. The extra space played into the hands of Wynnum Manly Juniors utility Ethan Unicomb, who capitalised through the middle four minutes later, paving the way for a 22-8 scoreline with half an hour remaining. Never a team to roll over, the Bulldogs picked themselves back up and again mounted the pressure and in the 56th minute Bradley Russell took on the defence, poked his nose through and offloaded for Lachlan Pope to fall over the line. The Seagulls were starting to feel the pinch and after turning away a Bulimba attacking raid on their own line, an error in the hit-up off the scrum put the ball in Bulldogs winger Saimone Ahomana's hands and he scored in the 61st minute. After Hayden Herbert's struggles off the tee, he handed goalkicking duties to Zakaria Taibi, who nailed the conversion to make it 22-18 and suddenly it was game on. The Seagulls kept hanging in there and with four minutes to go made a scrum on their own 10m mark into a winner, with Willie Malala using his footwork to stride through the line and run 80 metres before being tackled. Fullback Jalen Reweti then came flying in for a hit up and did enough to plant it on the stripe, sealing the win for Wynnum Manly Juniors - the fourth for the Seagulls in the reformed competition. The No.1 said he probably "carried on a bit" when the referee pointed to the spot not even realising just how little time was left in the game. "It was crazy, bro. After Willie Malala made that break, it was huge and I knew I just had to try to make a play there and back myself and ended up coming up with a good result," he said. Reweti put the moments of brilliance from the likes of Malala and Luke Maddaford down to the desire to make amends for some of the errors that invited Bulimba into the contest. "Across the whole park we have so many dangerous players. Our back five have been good for us all year, they carry strong," he said. "I thought we did a good job there and it was good and gritty and just happy we were able to come away with the result. "We kind of did it to ourselves in the back five in particular. We let a lot of balls hit the deck, dropped a few, but you can't put your head down after an error, you have to stay positive, find a way, reset and just go again." Second rower James Robinson was awarded player of the match, which he felt could have gone to anyone. "I didn't really think it would go to me but I'm super stoked about it. It's awesome," he said. "Our backs carried out of yardage for us with really tough carries. Once we got over the advantage line our forwards started going forward and our halves did their thing. "It was just a whole team performance really. I'm super proud of the boys, they kept turning up for each other when we could have let it slip. "We definitely knew we had it in us. We just had to turn up and complete our sets, which we still made it hard on ourselves, and we've done it the hard way all year, so we may as well have finished like that as well." Robinson said lifting the trophy on Saturday meant the devastation of being beaten in the grand final 12 months ago was all but forgotten. "It's polar opposites, from one of the worst days of your life to one of the best days of your life. It will certainly be remembered for a long time," he said. It was two-from-two for the Seagulls at Totally Workwear Stadium, with the club also winning the reserve grade grand final. Second rower Hayden Potter was the hero, kicking a goal from the sideline after the final siren to seal the win over West Brisbane Panthers 16-14. In the under 20s it was Brighton Roosters getting the chocolates 18-14 over Carina in front of fantastic support from both camps.

Texts sent by former soccer player Jeromy Harris, 41, suggested he knew the woman was seriously injured and burnt, and was being hidden in his Bulimba apartment, police said. The woman's boyfriend, John Crilley, allegedly injured her at a hotel before bringing her to the apartment. Police prosecutor Matt Kahler said a search of Harris' phone and text messages showed he knew the victim was at his home and in "an injured state". "He knew she had been burned," he told the court. Harris has been charged with being an accessory to acts intended to disfigure, cause grievous bodily harm, torture and deprivation of liberty. The Bulimba apartment where the woman was found with severe burns. (ABC News: Mark Leonardi) He is also fighting charges of supplying the drug alprazolam, used to treat anxiety, to both Crilley and the victim, allegedly to help her. The woman, 21, is in hospital in an induced coma with head-to-toe chemical burns. Defence lawyer Remy Kurz argued there was no suggestion his client was directly involved in inflicting or contributing to the woman's injuries, but was only allegedly to be aware of them in a "general sense". He said Harris was not a flight risk, and was "keen to attend court and clear his name of all charges".   But Magistrate John Costello denied Harris bail, saying there was no evidence the financial planner had "acted with any kind of humanity" after learning of the woman's injuries. Both men will appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court in early August.
