Transport and Main Roads
Tomorrow’s Queensland: strong, green, smart, healthy and fair
Northern Busway: Kedron to Bracken Ridge
Draft busway corridor option
The proposed option for the busway corridor between Murphy Road, Chermside and Darwin Street, Aspley, involves:
dedicated bus lanes, mostly within the Gympie • Road median, providing priority access into the busway
a proposed busway station at Chermside West.•
Please provide your comments by Friday 29 October 2010.
The Northern Busway: Kedron to Bracken Ridge is an integral part of the Queensland Government’s long-term plan to meet the transport needs of Brisbane’s growing northern suburbs.
The busway will form part of the wider busway network for South East Queensland that delivers cleaner and greener transport solutions.
Section 5: Murphy Road, Chermside to Nevin Street, Aspley
A diff erent style of busway
The busway corridor option between Murphy Road, Chermside and Darwin Street, Aspley will travel in a dedicated bus lane, within the existing Gympie Road median. Buses will run through intersections on Gympie Road.
This style of busway is being considered because:
fewer buses use Gympie Road north of Chermside•
this section of Gympie Road is wide enough to • accommodate dedicated bus lanes.
As part of future planning, impacts to general road traffi c movements will be investigated.

Long-term planningProtecting for the future
Planning for the busway now will ensure the land required is identified and protected to meet the public transport needs of the future. Once the corridor is protected, any development proposed in the vicinity of the corridor will be assessed by the Department of Transport and Main Roads. This will ensure:
any new development is integrated with • future busway facilities
impacts are minimised when the busway • is built
residents and property owners have • greater certainty about future plans.
The next stage of the planning process involves further techincal investigations and reviewing community feedback to identify the preferred corridor.

Community consultation plays an important role in identifying a busway alignment by providing the project team with invaluable local knowledge and feedback.
A community reference group has been established to enhance community consultation.
Community consultation activities remain a constant part of the planning process, enabling the project team to receive important feedback on busway planning.
Planning the Northern Busway: Kedron to Bracken Ridge will combine the eff orts of the local community and the planning team to develop the most suitable option for connecting Brisbane’s northern suburbs.
Tell us what you think The Department of Transport and Main Roads is seeking community feedback on draft busway corridor and station location options for the Northern Busway: Kedron to Bracken Ridge.
Your comments, together with the results of ongoing technical studies will help us develop a preferred busway corridor. Your feedback is important to help us get the planning right.
To fi nd out more about draft alignment options and have your say, attend a staff ed display or contact the project team.
Please provide your comments by Friday 29 October 2010.

Marchant Park’s heritage listed gates and • the trees along Memorial Drive would not be aff ected.
Some land on the western boundary •
of Marchant Park may be required and
would involve relocating one of the

Ways to minimise the project’s impacts •
on Marchant Park will be investigated
further as part of ongoing planning for
