Brisbane City Council has overturned their decision to close Illaweena Street in Drewvale, south of Brisbane, after twelve hundred residents signed an online petition opposing the closure.
The council closed the street to allow the new Gateway Motorway bridges and a fauna arch crossing to get underway as part of the $450 million Logan Motorway Enhancement Project.
The closure added an extra hour to parents’ commutes dropping their kids off at the nearby Stretton State College.
