Four landmark trees near the Wheel of Brisbane are going to be cut down to make way for the new Neville Bonner Bridge, connecting South Bank and the Casino at Queen’s Wharf.
Three fig trees and a poinciana will be removed, and hopefully replanted, as the area is redesigned to have more concrete rather than grass and trees.
These plans are not yet finalised, and changes could still be made to the landscaping around the new bridge.
