Kenmore Bypass
No joy on Kenmore Bypass
Friday, 04 March 2011 12:34
After having waited since May for some indication of the government's intention in relation to the Kenmore Bypass, I eventually obtained a ministerial briefing in December 2010.
The briefing contained no joy for local residents who continue to battle some of the worst traffic congestion in Brisbane along Moggill Road.
Essentially the government has made no decision in relation to the Kenmore Bypass and are awaiting a review of traffic conditions on the Western Freeway!
I have been informed that the Government will now not meet their deadline for announcing their response to the Kenmore Bypass Study.

I have been informed that the Government will now not meet their deadline for announcing their response to the Kenmore Bypass Study.
This is very disappointing for local residents many of whom live with considerable uncertainty until the Government is able to clarify their intention.
The delay and its impact on local residents have reached an unacceptable length. Advice is that the department have delayed advice to the Minister whilst the “Departmental Investment Committee” assess financial viability relative to other competing projects.Government fails to meet own deadline on Kenmore Bypass Study

I was given assurances by the Government that their response to the Kenmore Bypass Study’s preferred option would be announced by the end of May. The Government has failed to meet their own deadline. Meanwhile traffic conditions continue to be appalling in our area. Whilst every other portion of Brisbane has benefited from major infrastructure in public transport and roads our area has continued to be ignored.
I have again written to the Minister urging that the Government release their response. I will also be looking at the Government’s budget on Tuesday 8th June.
MOGGILL ROAD TOPS 50,000 PER DAY

I asked for a face to face meeting with the Minister for Main Roads to stress upon him the disgraceful state of traffic congestion on Moggill Road.
At the meeting I was informed that Moggill Road at Chapel Hill is now carrying over 50,000 cars per day!
Local motorists are only too aware that since the resumption of school in February and university in March Moggill Road both morning and afternoon has ground to a halt again.
I wanted to make sure that, particularly as there has been no official response from the Minister in relation to the Kenmore Bypass community consultation, he understood the serious problems local residents are having with Moggill Road particularly at both Kenmore and Chapel Hill.
Kenmore Bypass Update

The Kenmore Bypass Study has now released its long awaited preferred option for the Kenmore Bypass. The preferred option has been designed around making the Kenmore Bypass the preferred local route to the city for through traffic at both the intersection of the Bypass and Moggill Road and the intersection of the Bypass and the Centenary Highway.
I again have to stress that having a preferred option released and findings by the study group that construction of the Bypass would be both environmentally and engineering wise feasible does not mean there is any commitment at this time to proceed. It is however an essential step in considering the project.
Important points to remember are that the objectives of the Bypass are:-More Articles...
