The Queensland government has again been forced to rule out a bridge between North Stradbroke Island and the mainland as part of a review of public transport in the area.. 

The idea of a bridge to the island traditionally known as Minjerribah, faced criticism during the review from more than 760 community members consulted.

The Department of Transport and Main roads has from this said the delivery of a bridge connection to the island would not be in the interest of protecting and promoting the island’s unique and sensitive ecological and cultural features.
