Start the day with a summary of the day\\u2019s most important and interesting stories Brisbane City Council wanted to build on their active transport network and create a sense of place that celebrates Brisbane’s iconic river Council sought a bridge connecting pedestrians cyclists and persons using mobility devices from Brisbane’s south-eastern suburbs to the CBD To transform the Kangaroo Point Bridge into a vibrant destination we assessed bridge locations to inform the business case working with Cox Architects on design options from which the reference design was chosen Brisbane City Council appointed our firm as its Technical Advisor to identify opportunities to incorporate the bridge with the wider active transport network We provided multidisciplinary services including bridge engineering and dynamic studies including wind engineering services A bridge at Kangaroo Point was first considered in the 1860s however it wasn’t until 2021 when plans started to consolidate This bridge will help to reduce car congestion and boost Brisbane’s active transport network It’s estimated to remove 84,000 cars crossing the river per year and become a tourist destination solar panels to help provide energy for the lighting and lift access from the bridge deck to C.T White Park nearby to popular recreation spot Kangaroo Point Cliffs Our initial scope was to identify where the bridge landing points could be located on both sides of the Brisbane River and determine a suitable alignment The bridge alignment and grade needed to balance suitable grades for accessibility with achieving sufficient navigation clearance over the river for vessels Being so close to the Brisbane CBD also provided challenges including potential sites that were physically constrained Ensuring the alignment met all constraints was a key challenge which was addressed as part of this stage We reviewed concept designs already undertaken by Council to confirm the technical feasibility and concept design to support the Council’s internal business case We collaborated with Cox Architects to explore many different options for the bridge which would ultimately lead to a single mast design The single-mast cable stay structure creates a striking aesthetic complementing the city skyline and minimising visual impact to neighbourhoods and residential areas Challenges included conflicting design requirements; how to design a bridge that has resilience against floods and vessel collision yet minimises material use Parametric tools helped us optimise the design to get the best balance between the two constraining factors including technical input into the business case to seek federal funding Brisbane City Council then progressed to a detailed design and construction phase Part of our engagement also included supporting Council as an ongoing technical advisor throughout construction. Our reference design was similar to the final constructed bridge We saw opportunities outside of our scope of work to improve how the bridge could better connect to Brisbane’s active transport network We supported Council’s priority to develop safe access points to the bridge improving on previous designs of active transport bridges to determine how we could improve the safety and intuitive wayfinding through the entry and exit precincts Our recommendations helped ensure the bridge would be well connected to the wider active transport network to realise the maximum benefit from this opportunity Our team shared best practice design concepts with Council to improve active transport network connections This led to Council initiating their own supplementary projects to help improve the bridge’s connectivity to the rest of the network and city We were commissioned to create a connection underneath the southern end of Story Bridge via an underpass to connect into an active transport network to the eastern suburbs The bridge design complements the city skyline and minimises visual impact The bridge connects people in Brisbane’s south-eastern suburbs to the CBD  Image courtesy of Brisbane City Council transforming the way people move around and enjoy the city

any of the issues raised on this page or a potential collaboration then please get in touch by completing the form More than 315,000 people have crossed the Kangaroo Point Bridge in just one month massively exceeding forecasts by more than 75 per cent We knew the Kangaroo Point Bridge would be incredibly popular but it’s well and truly exceeding all expectations By creating a direct connection between the CBD and Kangaroo Point we are providing more opportunities for people to get into the city without driving as our city continues to grow Both of the new bridges we built in 2024 have blown their initial usage estimates out of the water and that means fewer car trips on the road network The Schrinner Council is the only council in Australia to deliver major infrastructure projects like the Kangaroo Point and Breakfast Creek bridges that are helping people get around our city sooner and safer While these bridges are helping to ease congestion on our roads they are also cementing themselves as must-do destinations I’m incredibly proud we’re delivering on the Lord Mayor’s commitment to keep Brisbane moving and look forward to continuing to work with other levels of government to deliver more city-shaping projects An average of more than 10,800 people a day have crossed the bridge since it opened rather than the 6,100 per day expected by 2036 helping to ease congestion and keep Brisbane moving The bridge will also continue to be a massive boon for Brisbane’s lifestyle with the upcoming opening of above-water dining destination Stilts and riverside café Mulga Bills currently being fitted out by local operator Tassis Group The new venues will offer indoor and outdoor seating and allow customers to take in breathtaking views of the CBD Initial forecasts estimated the Kangaroo Point Bridge could help take 84,000 car trips off the road every year on average but this number is shaping up to be conservative The bridge will also help cut the commute between the CBD and eastern suburbs by up to 15 minutes and walking times between Kangaroo Point The Breakfast Creek / Yowogerra Bridge also continues to exceed forecasts recording more than 2,600 trips a day since opening in February 2024 1,000 more trips per day than initial estimates predicted The Kangaroo Point Bridge was delivered in partnership between the Schrinner Council and Australian Government under the South East Queensland City Deal The Toowong to West End Bridge will be the last to be delivered under the Schrinner Council’s Bridges for Brisbane program due to rising costs and Council’s commitment to keep costs down for residents Council is seeking funding from the Federal Government for a business case for the Toowong to West End Bridge which will require support from all three

Mulga Bill’s sits on the Landing Plaza on the city side of the bridge, where it meets the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens. Mulga Bill’s opened today for its first service.Markus RavikA 60-seat open-air spot named after the Banjo Paterson poem, Mulga Bill’s Bicycle, it’s hospitality powerhouse Tassis Group’s (Fat Cow, Longwang, Dark Shepherd, Pompette and many others) first all-day eatery, intended to appeal as much to the morning grab-and-go crowd as it does to casual diners in the afternoon and evening. “We’re trying to make it a great spot for the whole day,” venue manager Alex Abson says. “You have that breakfast trade, which includes takeaway pastries and coffees, and then we’ll roll into lunch and dinner. Where on the Gold Coast you need to eat and drink right now“[Owner] Michael [Tassis] has been pushing for us to get an [all-day venue] into the group for some time.” To that end, you can’t argue with the location, which captures commuters wandering over the bridge in the morning, office workers in the nearby towers on Eagle Street, and then weekend visitors strolling the river or visiting the Botanic Gardens. Mulga Bill’s is the first of two Kangaroo Point Bridge eateries.SuppliedTassis has enlisted regular designers Clui for the fit-out, but this feels a little different to his past venues. In part, that’s because of the skylights that bathe the dining room with natural light, but also the plush mustard booths and timber furniture that match the tree-lined riverside views through its open bifold windows. It makes for a beguiling spot to while away a couple of hours over some food and wine. For food, Mulga’s kicks off in the morning with dishes such as woodfired eggs with kefalograviera cheese, sausage and red sauce, smoked salmon on sourdough with whipped Danish feta and baby capers, and a breakfast pizza cooked in an imported Moretti Forni oven. The venue is designed to capture the morning commuter crowd crossing the Kangaroo Point Bridge.Markus RavikLater in the day, there’s a handful of snacks followed by tapas, large plates and a more extensive pizza menu, plus a couple of steaks. For tapas you can order chargrilled octopus and chorizo with pimenton dressing, a seared tuna salad with stracciatella cream, seasonal tomatoes and finger lime, and king prawns with herb butter and sourdough. Mulga Bill’s menu is an all-day affair.SuppliedLarge plates include fried barramundi with orzo pasta, tomato, garlic and white wine, woodfired paella made with traditional bomba rice with chorizo, calamari, prawns, tomatoes and green peas, and marinated, slow-cooked lamb ribs finished on the woodfire and served with chimichurri, fries and salad. The steaks are a two-score eye fillet and a five-score striploin, served with a choice of fries or cos salad. The venue’s fetching dining room captures plenty of natural light.Markus RavikBut you suspect many punters will come for the pizza, either to eat in or perhaps take away to the gardens opposite. The toppings tend to keep it classic, with a margherita, a gamberi and a capricciosa all present and correct. But there’s also the patate e salsiccia (mozzarella, sausage, potato, triple brie, rosemary) and a chilli crab pizza with a garlic base, cherry tomatoes, red onion and lemon oil. For drinks, it’s espresso coffee, tea, juices and smoothies in the morning, before a crowd-pleasing cocktail selection and a keenly priced wine list take over in the afternoon (although the venue is still awaiting its liquor licence). What happens to Queen’s Wharf’s restaurants if The Star goes under?Taken as a whole the venue is designed to be as flexible as possible meaning you can make a visit to Mulga Bill’s what you will “The push into all-day dining has allowed us to be a bit more creative and trial a few things (such as a $20 pizza power hour from 3.30pm to 4.30pm daily) but we’re still focusing on delivering the same level of service you get at our other venues,” Abson says Mulga Bill’s is open daily from 6am until late.Markus RavikAdvertisementMulga Bill’s is the first of two Tassis venues to open with the new bridge which will run its first service next week “Opening definitely feels like a [celebration of the bridge],” Abson says we want to pay homage to Australian culture and in this location with the gardens and the river and cliffs opposite but also a bit of a meeting spot for locals and people coming into the city.” mulgabills.com.au Remove items from your saved list to add more ShareLicense

open a business case into its Toowong-West End bridge early next year but had abandoned plans for the St Lucia-West End bridge Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner and Federal Infrastructure Minister Catherine King at Sunday’s opening “We’re keen to progress the Toowong to West End Bridge next in partnership with other levels of government lower-than-expected revenue and changing community expectations

Brisbane locals are taking their first steps on the Kangaroo Point Bridge, following 760,000 hours of construction work on what is now the tallest bridge in Queensland. The bridge will reduce walking travel times by up to 50 per cent, cutting the commute between Brisbane’s eastern suburbs and the CBD by up to 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for pedestrians travelling from Kangaroo Point and the Gabba to the CBD. Kangaroo Point will be directly linked to the city for the first time in Brisbane’s history. The 460 metre bridge is expected to take 84,000 vehicles off the road annually. The bridge was first proposed in the 1860s. An initial design was developed by 1890, but plans to construct it were put on hold during the recession and flooding in the 1890s. Construction began in late 2021. During peak construction, 10 barges were used on the river during construction and more than 1800 people have worked on the project so far. The Kangaroo Point Bridge is one of the first projects to be delivered under the landmark $1.8 billion South East Queensland City Deal. It’s also the second bridge to be delivered under the Bridges for Brisbane program. The Federal Government and Brisbane City Council partnered to deliver the bridge at a total cost of $288 million. Federal Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Minister Catherine King said the bridge will give locals and motorists more options to get into the city. “The Kangaroo Point Bridge will transform Brisbane for the better. The new connection across the famous Brisbane River will open up the city with new walking, dining and recreational experiences,” King said. “This will be a legacy for Brisbane, transforming the way people move around and enjoy the city for decades to come.” The Federal Government has announced a further $114 million investment to improve safety and efficiency for users of key roads...

increased from 109 to 115 car spaces and 74 to 111 bicycle spaces Plans for five single-floor apartments on one of Kangaroo Point's last riverfront sites have been approved by Brisbane City Council 07 Feb 2025 • 3m read • View Author Plans for five single-floor apartments on one of Kangaroo Point's last riverfront sites have been approved by Brisbane City Council.  In a market-first, high-end residential developer Molti has confirmed Carr will be working with bureau^proberts to design each home's luxury interiors.  The development will offer just five full-floor luxury residences boasting box seat views of the river, CBD and iconic Story Bridge.  Molti Managing Director Ben Teague welcomes the approval and said demolition would start on site in the coming months, with an intention to start construction this year.  "We are confident that what we're bringing to Kangaroo Point will captivate luxury property buyers and become a cherished future heirloom for its residents," he says.  "The collaboration between bureau^proberts and Carr Design is a market first and will deliver a collection of five extraordinary full-floor homes that truly stand apart.  "This development offers a front-row seat to Brisbane's iconic river and glittering city lights, crafted by some of Australia's most exceptional design talent."  Molti has appointed WHITEFOX Brisbane, led by Phillip Rand, to manage the project's sales and marketing, which is anticipated to launch in the coming months.  "With just five exclusive residences on offer at MacDonald Street, this development is defined by its rare positioning and impeccable design team," Rand says.  "This site was a unique opportunity that rarely comes to market—and what Molti and the team at bureau^proberts and Carr Design are creating here will be testament to that, a true one-of-one opportunity."  Kangaroo Point made headlines earlier this year, with the penthouse at local development Sorano House selling off the plan for a Brisbane record internal square metre rate of $45,000.  "The luxury market in Kangaroo Point is one of the most tightly held in South East Queensland, with buyers recognising that the riverfront position, city views and connectivity make this one of Australia's most unique real estate locations," says Rand.  Located at 4 MacDonald Street in Kangaroo Point, the project will remake a 797 square metre site that occupies one of the last remaining riverfront sites on the Kangaroo Point peninsula, and boasts never to be built out views of the city, river and Story Bridge.  Situated 200 metres from the new Kangaroo Point bridge, the residences will benefit from some of the best connectivity in Brisbane city, while maintaining the privacy the peninsula offers.  The bureau^proberts design takes inspiration from the iconic bridge and Kangaroo Point's subtropical riverside location, employing a strong curvature that pushes primary living spaces towards views of the river, parklands, bridge and city.  Each residence will span almost 350 square metres and are enriched by elevated horizontal gardens that run the length of the fronting balconies, providing a soft and organic interface and link to James Warner Park below.  Open plan living spaces are connected through breezeways providing natural light and ventilation, while master bedrooms are located on the northern side of the building, maximising city frontage and stunning views.  Crowning the project is a penthouse rooftop with a spectacular infinity pool set amid verdant landscaping.  Despite being home to just five residences, the building feature wellness amenities akin to that of a luxury wellness club.  The development will come to market in the coming months.   Fendi timber flooring's texture and finish

expansive luxury residences featuring 2- and 3-bedroom homes it will boast sweeping city and river views and a timeless design tailored for contemporary urban living emphasised the long-term significance of this acquisition "This iconic site has been on our radar since 2016 known to many as a dormant opportunity burdened by years of challenges we are honoured to have been entrusted by Woolworths to bring this landmark site to life "Kangaroo Point has long awaited a project that introduced essential amenities while further elevating the area's architectural landscape Our collaboration with Woolworths is rooted in a shared vision—to seamlessly integrate luxury living with retail convenience ultimately enriching the lives of residents and the broader community."  Reflecting on the broader implications of the project "This development is not just about reviving an inactive site—it's about creating lasting value for Kangaroo Point and aligning with Mosaic's long-term vision of delivering exceptional In alignment with Mosaic’s community-focused approach “We are looking forward to engaging with the local community to ensure they are well informed of our plans and how we seek to complement and add value to the area Our commitment is not only to deliver exceptional outcomes but to foster positive long-term connections with the people who call this area home.”  The project has already sparked substantial interest with Monahan noting a strong response within Mosaic's existing network "The level of excitement around this development signals its potential to be one of Mosaic's defining achievements to date."  “The Kangaroo Point Peninsula is one of the most tightly held and highly sought-after locations in Brisbane made even stronger now with the completion of the green bridge and soon with a full-scale grocery store on the horizon.”  Colliers served as the sales agent for the transaction between Woolworths and Mosaic noted that development-approved sites of this scale are very rare one of Brisbane's most sought-after riverside suburbs which led to strong interest in the site.  “It was a very successful campaign with strong interest from local developers,” Mr Linnane said.  “The attributes of this site being close to the Brisbane River and soon-to-be-completed Kangaroo Point Green Bridge offered a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change the face of inner Brisbane.”  True to Mosaic's unique end-to-end business model the company will oversee the entire development process—from detailed design and construction to long-term asset management Mosaic has completed over 65 developments valued at well over $2 billion with an additional $2 billion currently in its pipeline The group’s resilience amidst market challenges underscores its reputation for delivering quality projects “Mosaic is very grateful to continue moving forward in a market that continues to face serious headwinds and the delivery of high-quality built form has ground to a halt and we are in no way immune to the challenges it is in many ways what defines our business: our ability to continue delivering premium developments backed by disciplined processes and an unwavering commitment to our customers and the communities we serve," Monahan remarked "We have completed every project we've ever taken to market consistently reinforcing our customers’ confidence in our ability to see every project through including the management and care of our buildings well past completion." The company's internal construction arm recently earned triple ISO certification in Quality and Occupational Health and Safety Management ranking it among the top-tier builders in Australia Highlighting the impact this milestone has on its customers “This triple ISO certification provides an added layer of confidence knowing that their home is being built to the highest standards of quality It's another way we stand by the long-term value we deliver with every Mosaic development."

evidence COEX had inappropriate expenditure He said COEX was meant to recycle 85 per cent of all eligible containers but its performance had again slipped to 62 per cent by the end of 2024 “That just isn’t good enough,” Powell said We know that if they have the opportunity they will recycle.” Powell said the “root and branch” inquiry would examine everything from the scope of the scheme to the location of drop-off sites protecting our environment and putting more refund money where it belongs – in the pockets of Queenslanders,” he said Crews are working across weekends to collect rubbish put out for kerbside collection Brisbane City Council said over 10,000 tonnes had already been collected since July last year surpassing the amount collected at the same time last year by about 2300 tonnes While some suburbs have waited up to two weeks for items to be collected the council’s city standards chair Sarah Hutton said crews were now working weekends to cope with the extra demand the volume of material put out for collection increases unexpectedly which can impact timeframes,” she said Council opposition leader Jared Cassidy said the delays were a “kick in the guts” for ratepayers claiming underfunding had the service stretched thin “I wouldn’t be surprised if kerbside collection is now falling victim to the LNP Council’s savage cuts to council staff and contractors,” Cassidy said “He cut the service back in 2020 and the people of Brisbane made it loud and clear he’d made the wrong choice.” Sixty-seven suburbs remain on the council’s collection roster before the end of the financial year, with schedules available on the council website Queensland construction fund BUSSQ will appeal a Federal Court decision that ruled it could not set aside a requirement by the financial regulator to impose additional licence conditions because of its controversial relationship with the CFMEU BUSSQ had taken the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority to court last year after the regulator forced the $6 billion super fund – as well as Cbus – to engage an independent expert to review whether its CFMEU-appointed directors were fit and proper people and if the fund’s expenditure was in the best financial interest of members The Federal Court ruled late last month BUSSQ must go through an internal review process before it could receive a judicial review of APRA’s decision APRA said it was considering the fund’s decision to appeal “Trustees of superannuation funds are required to act in the best financial interests of their members and to have appropriate processes in place for the assessment of the fitness and propriety of their directors,” the regulator said in a statement “APRA’s decision to impose additional licence conditions in August 2024 was in response to prudential concerns that APRA had identified with BUSSQ’s compliance with these requirements.” A former minister jailed for corruption has been given a parliamentary tribute following his death last year Geoff Muntz served as member for the Whitsundays from 1980 to 1989 a minister in the Bjelke-Petersen and Ahern governments in 1991 Muntz was sentenced to a year behind bars for misappropriating ministerial expenses “I want to thank Geoff’s family for coming here today … they can be proud of his services to his community,” opposition leader and former premier Steven Miles said member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm and member for Mermaid Beach Ray Stevens also paid tribute to the former minister’s work securing regional infrastructure Queensland Reds hooker Richie Asiata is the first major selection shock of the Super Rugby season ousting two Wallabies stars for the No.2 jumper Injuries curtailed the 28-year-old in 2024 and he didn’t feature for his side until their post-season clash with Wales – in which he scored a hat-trick – as Matt Faessler cemented his place in Australia’s forward pack But Asiata’s impressive preseason encounters have forced Faessler to the Reds’ bench against Moana Pasifika Queensland coach Les Kiss confirmed the selection was a combination of Asiata’s form enabling him to tailor his selections to the style of rugby they would play and the opposition they would face “I know we’re going to have to move gears there a little bit and we thought we’d give Richie a go first-up but from my perspective all of them can give us something different,” Kiss said Josh Nasser and Matt Faessler it’s a fairly competitive space so we’ll be able to move that and shape it as we want each week.” Thanks for joining us for live coverage of

A man has transformed a pergola at Kangaroo Point into a temporary home.  Former Broncos Trainer and Kangaroo Point resident, Mark ‘Chopper’ Burgess told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings the man had been living there for six months. “No one should have a river view rent-free and tax-free. It’s ridiculous, he shouldn’t be there,” Mr Burgess said. Councillor Sarah Hutton from the Brisbane City Council has responded. Councillor Hutton told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, ” We are very much aware of this individual.” Among the many infrastructure projects underway across Brisbane, the 460-m long Kangaroo Point Bridge is among one of the most anticipated. Linking the corner of Alice Street and Edward Street in The City with Scott Street in Kangaroo Point, the bridge looks to offer faster and more convenient access to The City from the eastern and south-eastern suburbs, while also reducing congestion across Brisbane’s ferry, bus and road networks. The bridge will open to the public on Sunday December 15, with free family-friendly entertainment (think roving performers, musicians and a Welcome to Country ceremony) taking place from 8:00 am. Formal proceedings will be held on the city side of the bridge, on the corner of Alice and Edward streets.

About InDaily and squid ink tortellini before this popular spot pulls stumps ShareYou have just 12 weeks left to check out one of Brisbane’s best little seafood spots. Late last week, husband and wife team Daniel Miletic and Amelia Taylor took to social media to announce the closure of their popular One Fish Two Fish restaurant in Kangaroo Point. The couple plan to run its final service over the Easter weekend in April. One Fish Two Fish will host its final service at Easter.Courtesy of One Fish Two FishTaylor says it was a difficult decision to call time on the restaurant, but she and Miletic want to focus more on their Midtown bar in Fish Lane, as well as smaller event dinners, and the like. Taylor also runs her own PR business, Liquidity Marketing. “We were pretty honest in the [social media] post,” Taylor says. “There’s nothing more to it than the lease was coming up, really. Where to find Brisbane’s best seafood restaurants“The business runs really well and everything about it is going gangbusters so it was a hard decision to make from a financial perspective One Fish Two Fish opened in a refurbished weatherboard shop opposite the Pineapple Hotel in early 2019 It quickly developed a loyal fan base on the back of a well-pitched menu that featured everything from prawn cocktail sandwiches One Fish Two Fish has always boasted a well-pitched seafood-focused menu.Courtesy of One Fish Two FishIt was a venue timed perfectly to ride Brisbane diners’ greater appreciation of seafood which came on the back of better access to fresh produce by local suppliers “I think people definitely celebrate seafood more than they used to – that they can get their hands on fresh seafood,” Taylor says “And we’ve always been careful about telling diners where we source our seafood from The restaurant won local hearts with its charming weatherboard digs.Courtesy of One Fish Two FishIt’s a much-loved restaurant so it’s perhaps no surprise when Taylor says diner reaction to the news has been “massive” “We had about 200 bookings in the space of 24 hours or so,” she says “We have a bunch of events to celebrate the restaurant and to encourage people to book … The lease actually should’ve ended next week but we wanted to go through until Easter.” ShareLicense this articleMore: ShareMichael Tassis is reluctant to play favourites. But there’s no doubt Stilts is a different proposition to the many other restaurants he operates, including four (Longwang, Fatcow, Dark Shepherd, Pompette) he’s already opened in the past 12 months. Taking pride of place on the newly opened Kangaroo Point Bridge, Tassis talks about Stilts almost as if it’s woven into the fabric of the city. And it is, in a sense. If Tassis wasn’t chosen by the Brisbane City Council to operate this tenancy, it would’ve gone to someone else. Stilts opened last week on Kangaroo Point Bridge.Markus Ravik“That location means it’s really part of Brisbane,” he says. “I have to make sure I really deliver. It feels like a legacy project of sorts. I’m catering for locals. I’m catering for tourists. I’m catering for people who want to bring their guests and show off Brisbane.” Everyone involved in the project got the memo, it seems. What happens to Queen’s Wharf’s restaurants if The Star goes under?Stilts by name this 100-seater sits a level above the bridge’s walkway And go-to Tassis designer firm Clui has responded by dialling down its more lavish tendencies for a fit-out that plays second fiddle to the scenery There’s the typical marble counters and table tops But the banquettes have been kept low and an eye-catching tiled floor has been laid diagonally to draw your attention to the real stars of the show: the Botanic Gardens and Kangaroo Point Cliffs on one side and Story Bridge and the CBD on the other Stilts’ interior has been kept relatively low-key to help keep the focus on the views outside.Markus Ravik“We have quite a tight working relationship,” Tassis says about Clui ‘We’ve got to deliver this very good [dining room] but it has to be a clean environment where people can appreciate the views’.” The food is intended to be a reflection of place too Tassis shorthands Stilts as a steak and seafood restaurant (chef Dan Hernandez’s go-to weapon is a woodfire grill produced by Beech Ovens in Eagle Farm) but “modern” and “more elevated” when compared to other restaurants from the group in a similar vein The restaurant’s views across the river are one-of-a-kind.Markus Ravik“It has that modern Australian focus but we’re aiming to have the best of the best when it comes to produce.” There’s a relatively tight menu of entrées and mains – you might order ocean trout ceviche with rice crisps or confit beetroot with macadamia cheese and crackers from the former and Moreton Bay bug linguine with a bug bisque or a medium-rare herb-crusted Queensland lamb rack with carrot purée and charred baby onions on the latter – but it’s the live seafood and steak menus that are the real stars here Confit beetroot with macadamia cheese and crackers.Markus RavikAdvertisementFrom the tanks there’s both lobster and bugs (Tassis reckons Stilts is the first restaurant in Brisbane to have a bugs tank in the dining room) served either smoked over charcoal with saltbush and béarnaise The steak selection is sourced entirely from Queensland and split into Angus and Wagyu beef cuts They range from a Diamantina 120-day grain-fed 300-gram Angus rump cap to a Little Joe eight-to-nine score Shiro Kin Wagyu sirloin that will set you back $175 Herb-crusted Queensland lamb back strap with carrot puree charred baby onions and lamb jus.Markus RavikThere’s also a pair of large cuts designed to share: a three-to-four score Angus tomahawk that’s priced at $26 per 100 grams and a three-to-four score bistecca that will set you back $230 oysters from the tank and caviar served three ways Australian Wagyu flat iron with organic pea puree and handmade wagyu beef dumpling.Markus RavikIt’s a menu that might surprise in its simplicity but you could argue that’s all the better to celebrate the produce that lands on the table there’s a 165-bottle wine list that ranges across Old World and New Stilts look set to become a favourite occasion restaurant for locals.Markus RavikIt adds up to something well pitched for the location upmarket but still – like all of Tassis’ venues – fastidiously approachable it’s almost entirely unique for Brisbane; the only thing similar is neighbouring Mulga Bill’s at the end of the bridge “Brisbane is growing so fast right now,” he says “And I do think it’s the best city in Australia But it’s up to us to illustrate that to people when they come to Stilts and dine with us.” stiltsdining.com.au The newly opened Kangaroo Point bridge will be able to display 100 different colour combinations to light up Brisbane’s skyline and celebrate community causes The bridge is the first landmark in almost a decade to be added to the light up schedule which can be used to promote major events community awareness campaigns or cultural festivals In the past 12 months almost 300 bookings have been made by non-for-profit organisations to light up city assets the Kangaroo Point Bridge is open for light up bookings with applications able to be submitted for consideration up to 12 months in advance The incredibly popular program which now spans across eight assets has resulted in at least one location lit up every night since the program began more than 10 years The initiative was introduced in 2013 as a way to foster civic pride across our city and to also provide a platform for local non-for-profit organisations to share their message on a city-wide scale The Kangaroo Point Bridge has more than 300 lights on lights will illuminate underneath the bridge pier at the base of each mast and on the main 95 metre mast to create a spectacular display on Brisbane’s riverfront The best vantage points to view the Kangaroo Point Bridge light ups include: The bridge’s first light booking is for the Christmas season and the bridge will glow red and green up until 28 December 2024 “Brisbane is Australia’s lifestyle capital and our shining landmarks makes Brisbane a vibrant city to live in and visit “The Kangaroo Point Bridge is more than just a bridge it’s an incredible tourism asset for our city and it will now be shining bright for all to see “Whether you are using the bridge during the day or at night the bridge will offer a spectacular view across our fantastic city “We look forward to seeing our newest bridge added to the list of assets around Brisbane that light up for a cause.” Council maintains more than 2180 parks across Brisbane They range in size from small neighbourhood parks to large district parks Enter an address or move around the map to find nearby parks.  Enter an address or move around the map to find nearby parks.  If you can’t find the park you’re looking for zoom out within the map until you can see all of Brisbane and click ‘Update search area’ Re-enter the information or move around the map Explore some of Brisbane's most loved parks You can find a variety of facilities in parks across Brisbane from picnic areas and accessible playgrounds to riding tracks and skate parks Let your dog play freely and socialise in more than 160 off-leash dog areas across Brisbane Let your dog play freely and socialise in more than 160 off-leash dog areas across Brisbane Cook an outdoor feast on an electric or gas barbecue in one of our city’s parks To find out if a park has a barbecue, click its location on the map and check the facilities information To find out if a park has a barbecue, click its location on the map and check the facilities information Exercise and improve your fitness for free at more than 170 outdoor gyms in parks Make use of static, interactive and moveable equipment, such as rowers and stepping machines.

opens this weekend and ferry services from Mowbray Park return those hoping for a riverside bike and walking path all the way to East Brisbane will be left waiting Documents obtained by this masthead reveal detailed plans for the once-promised Kangaroo Point Riverwalk and the complex design requirements that blew out its budget and sank the project the brand-new pedestrian and cycling bridge from Brisbane’s CBD spits out eastbound travellers into an undesirable choice but any dedicated connection to Mowbray Park is several years away.Credit: Nick Dent The options are either to dodge driveways on Shafston Avenue’s narrow footpath or wind through Kangaroo Point’s side-streets before people can connect to Mowbray Park’s riverside trails or the dedicated bikeway along Lytton Road Following calls to fix the inner-east’s hodgepodge active transport network the former state government had promised a riverside pedestrian and bike route in 2020 – setting aside $22.5 million for the project with a final price tag of $93 million – over four times the initial quote – the project was nixed in mid-2023 the Brisbane City Council confirmed it had no intention to revive the project with the new state government Transport chair Ryan Murphy said the council was instead building a bikeway along Shafston Avenue connecting the pedestrian and cycling green bridge’s landing site on Deakin Road to the Lytton Road bike lane “We know that the Riverwalk is a very expensive project and council and the state government don’t even own all of the land along the riverfront [between Mowbray Park and Dockside],” he said “We believe that [the Shafston Avenue bikeway] is a far more cost-effective and direct alternative to a Riverwalk that can be done a bit sooner and can get better results for residents in this East Brisbane area.” Put together in 2023 and released under Right to Information laws the concept designs proposed a Riverwalk to connect the green bridge underpass with the Lytton Road bikeway – along with four options for paths through an upgraded Mowbray Park But blocking the route were pre-existing pontoons which meant almost all 750 metres of walkway would need to be built over the Brisbane River on piles or over the riverbank on smaller “micropile” stilts The construction would have been forced onto the riverbank to skirt a pool at Dundrenan Residences, on Thorn Street, and require negotiations with property owners at Shaftston House – where a 28-storey residential complex is planned The plan would have required the Dockside ferry terminal to be demolished and rebuilt to link with the new infrastructure but avoided major changes to private pontoons and marinas along the stretch which would be rebuilt to duck under the path or connect to the walkway via locked gates The Dockside ferry terminal would have to be demolished and rebuilt to accommodate a riverside path.Credit: Queensland Government Large parts of the proposed Riverwalk design had to be positioned over the river due to private-owned waterside properties.Credit: Queensland Government The design also demanded a Deakin Street connection – about 225 metres long – to join the Kangaroo Point Green Bridge via its underpass across the area’s arterial roads a bikeway along Deakin Street is part of the council’s current vision for an active transport network which continues to Mowbray Park with a bikeway along Shafston Avenue The Riverwalk design documents included a 225m connection simialar to the connection the council intended to build as part of its Shafston Avenue bikeway project The Department of Transport and Main Roads said in a statement it “agreed to jointly deliver improvements to active transport along Shafston Avenue” at a 50-50 cost split with the council the Brisbane City Council will lead the design and construction of the bikeway,” a TMR spokeswoman said Active transport users and Kangaroo Point locals have previously expressed support for a connected bikeway but worried that pursuing the Shafston Avenue project would mean a Riverwalk would never happen The council’s Kangaroo Point active transport study – undertaken from 2021 to 2022 and jointly funded with the state government – received over 600 responses “The community feedback clearly indicates support for extending the Riverwalk from Dockside to Mowbray Park as well as making improvements to connectivity to the new Kangaroo Point green bridge,” the report says Detailed planning was expected in the coming years and the Shafston Avenue bikeway was slated for completion in three to four years’ time “While the delivery schedule is yet to be finalised by BCC the project is expected to be completed during 2027–28,” the TMR spokeswoman said set aside $57.4 million across three years from 2026 to 2029 for several transport projects including the Shafston Avenue bikeway and a connection from the Kangaroo Point Bridge to bike paths in South Bank Get alerts on significant

improving after decades of innovation The redevelopment of the landmark Shafston Estate, on over one-hectare of Brisbane River land in Kangaroo Point The plans are back with the Brisbane City Council to increase the density of the project which was given the green light in early 2023 Developer Burgundy Group had sought to develop a 15-level tower with 37 apartments designed by Rothelowman in 2022 The latest submission has come from Verso Development Group an entity directed by Chinese-born Siwen Pan who is believed to have taken over the 10,070 sqm site at 23 Castlebar Street Verso has brought in Kerry Hills Architects (KHA) to revise the plans for the unrepeatable site that is home to the 1851 built by the Reverend Robert Creyke as a single-storey cottage called Ravenscott The proposal is for the tower to increase in levels to 25 and the apartments to go from 37 to 51 "The Shafston Estate provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore one of Brisbane’s finest heritage precincts and to reinstate residential use as a unique site perched on the edge of Kangaroo Point," KHA noted in its Urban Context Report "The project will celebrate excellence in sub-tropical residential design, setting a new benchmark for vertical living in Brisbane." The submission noted the departure point for the project is to celebrate the heritage elements that exist on the site "These elements manifest the layers of post-settlement history in Brisbane and as part of the project they will be carefully and faithfully restored They will be reinvigorated with uses that are closely associated with their original purposes as domestic and restorative spaces." Verso was recommendaed by Urbis to provide an independent design review of the proposed changes to the existing code assessed development approval of the Shafston Estate Malcolm Middleton Architects produced the review on the former plans "The proponent of the site has a vision of this unique property that exceeds the code assessed approval and associated design compliance approach," the review read "The amended design seeks to deliver a project that will make a significant contribution to the quality of the city residential standards as well as focal point of architectural expression that will create an urban uplift for the site specifically and the city overall." As well as the new tower and a guest house in the retain Postal Depot Building Further changes to the 2023 approval include a new section of riverwalk along the river frontage of the site as public infrastructure and a six-berth private marina will be constructed on the river out from the riverwalk Find out about temporary closures and detours to Brisbane bike paths before you plan your ride

has been laid along the length of Brisbane City Council’s highly-anticipated Kangaroo Point Bridge The project’s latest milestone lays the foundation for the first people to walk across the city’s newest bridge “The Kangaroo Point Bridge will become one of our city’s most recognisable landmarks when complete but more importantly it will help keep Brisbane moving,” said Brisbane Lord Mayor He said the bridge will help reduce travel times by up to 50% cutting the commute between Brisbane’s eastern suburbs and the CBD by up to 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes for pedestrians travelling from Kangaroo Point and the Gabba Stadium to the CBD Major structural elements of the bridge are now complete with the final connecting span and viewing platform lifted into place in early June followed by the pouring of the bridge’s concrete deck All temporary structures have been removed including the dismantling of the world’s strongest tower crane which lifted the bridge’s 95-metre mast and cable stay system into place “A bridge linking Kangaroo Point to the CBD has been talked about since the 1800s and now the Schrinner Council is making it a reality,” said Council Chair for Transport “The Kangaroo Point Bridge is the most significant investment into active transport in Brisbane’s history and will help to deliver the infrastructure our growing city needs “By providing more options for people to leave their car at home we can help reduce congestion and help keep our city moving.” Works will now shift to preparing the Kangaroo Point and CBD bridge entrances before opening to the

safety for walkers and cyclists accessing the bridge from the CBD A new Story Bridge underpass also recently opened which will connect the Kangaroo Point Bridge to Brisbane’s eastern suburbs “Brisbane is one of Australia’s fastest growing cities and the Kangaroo Point Bridge will help take 84,000 cars off the road every year,” said Lord Mayor Schrinner “We made a commitment to help people get home sooner and safer and that’s exactly what we’re doing “We’re also working with the Federal Government to build better roads and improve public transport including the Moggill Road and Beams Road corridor upgrades and our turn-up-and-go Brisbane Metro.” The $299 million Kangaroo Point Bridge is a joint venture between Council and the Australian Government and is one of the first projects to be delivered under the landmark South East Queensland City Deal “Our Government is delivering the infrastructure that Queensland needs It’s great to see the Kangaroo Point Green Bridge almost complete it’s going to provide better connections for Brisbane residents and our visitors,” said Minister for Infrastructure More than 646,000 hours have been worked over the life of the project creating 1,400 local jobs and 60 apprenticeships The bridge is expected to be open in late 2024 Information and Events for Local Councils throughout Australia Contact us: newsdesk@insidelocalgovernment.com.au

approval for Brisbane-based Pikos Group in April to build two 15-storey residential towers Brisbane's affluent suburb of Kangaroo Point is going through a development boom The riverside suburb immediately south of the Story Bridge is having its time in the sun with several developers creating varying levels of density in the area The latest application is for a 22-level building at 51 Darragh Street which will home 65 apartments. Like most apartments being offered in Kangaroo Point There are 58 three-bedroom apartments proposed and seven four-beds The apartment sizes on offer will be generous The largest apartments span 239 sqm internally and have balconies as large as 67 sqm Each apartment is designed by Peddle Thorp Architects to offer significant river and city views north-facing balcony providing ample outdoor living space the development dedicates over 73 per cent of its area to recreation and landscape spaces Ground level facilities include two tennis courts (one covered) and shady lawns surrounded by deep planting areas and the retention of established hedges on the eastern and southern frontages These amenities are intended for both the development's residents and those living in the Dockside precinct A public through-site link will be provided via a stair and lift to access the tennis court and gym and a pergola designed to block views to the dock from the adjacent building There is also a small public coffee shop with external seating and a poolside bar table area enhancing the streetscape The rooftop offers another 600 sqm of recreation space a 'sunset lounge' with city views and an exercise area with an outdoor exercise lawn Kangaroo Point has been a hive of activity in the last 12 months Pikos Group relaunched Skye Residences 69 luxury apartments across two buildings connected by a sky bridge on the corner of River Terrace and Main Street Pikos is also soon to launch Gaia a further 215 apartments across three 15-level buildings at 108 Lambert Street The development will also create a full acre of inner-city parklands More boutique developments have seen huge success recently.

for speeding and not wearing helmets There have been 315,390 walking and riding trips across Brisbane’s newest bridge, the Kangaroo Point Bridge since it opened on December 15 – an average of 10,876 per day 36,166 cycling and 19,193 e-scooter trips have been made across the Kangaroo Point Bridge.Credit: Courtney Kruk While the numbers may be inflated by initial curiosity the patronage has already blown the business case forecast – of 6100 daily trips by 2036 – out of the water The Kangaroo Point Bridge was initially forecast to take 84,000 car trips off the road every year but council now says this prediction is “shaping up to be overly conservative” The Breakfast Creek Bridge had 2616 daily walking It was expected to get 1500 daily trips by 2031 “Both of the new bridges we built in 2024 have blown their initial estimates out of the water and that means fewer car trips on the road network,” Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said While there are no counters on the Neville Bonner Bridge a pedestrian-only connection between South Bank and Queen’s Wharf that opened in August 2024 the Destination Brisbane Consortium is confident it has exceeded the projected 10,000 crossings a day In the same week as the bridge data was being compiled Queensland Police ran an operation targeting e-scooters and bikes over speeding and helmet laws New Farm Riverwalk and the Bicentennial Bikeway including a 24-year-old Brisbane man given two fines within 15 minutes for allegedly not wearing a helmet Police allege officers on the Bicentennial Bikeway first noticed the man not wearing a helmet while riding an e-scooter at 7.10am and gave him a $161 fine officers at the Goodwill Bridge allege they noticed the man again riding an e-scooter without a secured helmet Brisbane City Sergeant Michelle Clarke said there were too many serious crashes in 2024 “Police frequently respond to e-scooter involved crashes where riders required treatment for serious injuries,” she said “It’s important to remember that these devices are not toys and can significantly harm pedestrians and riders.” The construction of no-car bridges in Brisbane has not been without controversy, with a councillor previously calling for the Eleanor Schonell Bridge between St Lucia and Dutton Park to be opened to private vehicles cycle and bus bridge when it opened in 2006 and now accommodates more than 3100 active transport trips daily in addition to improving public transport to The University of Queensland Researchers found the percentage of students and staff arriving on campus by car plunged after the bridge was built and active travel surged The Victoria Bridge is now Brisbane’s busiest no-car bridge for active transport and caters to more than 10,000 walkers 430 cyclists and 547 e-scooter riders daily Not all bridges are exceeding expectations The Kurilpa Bridge, which opened in 2009, was expected to pave the way for 50,000 people to walk and cycle between the CBD and South Bank each week – or 7143 per day but also a connection to an awkward 10km/h tourist zone shared with cyclists e-scooter users and pedestrians through South Bank – gets about 3544 trips per day Despite promising five green bridges in 2019, council axed plans for a St Lucia to West End bridge A pre-feasibility report prepared in 2018 suggested a St Lucia to West End bridge could have up to 1000 walking and cycling trips a day in its first years of operation The Toowong to West End bridge is the last on council’s agenda and Schrinner has asked for federal funding for a business case But is unlikely to silence calls for more bridges to simplify travel across the Brisbane River with its meandering shape creating isolated peninsulas across the city with people forced onto limited roads
