Council has started the development of a business case to help ease traffic congestion on the north-west transport network, covering areas from Bald HIlls to Toowong.
Following the Transport Plan for Brisbane – Strategic Directions consultation held in late 2017 to April 2018, the north-west transport network business case will look into the future of transport in the city, identify opportunities to improve its reliability, convenience, and transport options.

Through the help of a $10-million funding commitment from the Australian Government, the business case study will cover the suburbs of Toowong, Ashgrove, Enoggera, Everton Park, Stafford Heights, Chermside, Bridgeman Downs, and Bald Hills.
Council is inviting the public to have their say by 11:59 p.m. 7 February 2020 and share their current travel behaviour and where transport services and infrastructure could be improved by:
-
completing the online survey or quick poll
-
emailing the project team
