A $1 million pedestrian and cycle bridge will be built across Cabbage Tree Creek – improving accessibility to the $6.5 million Carseldine Urban Village sport and recreation precinct, which is currently under construction.
Member for Aspley Bart Mellish says the bridge will divert locals away from nearby roads and give them safe, direct access to sporting activities and transport.
Mr Mellish says while it is discouraged, currently students and residents regularly use a water pipe to cross the creek, or they walk along the busy Dorville and Beams Roads.
The new bridge will also connect to existing cycling infrastructure around Cabbage Tree Creek.
