An under-utilised part of the Brisbane River will soon be activated once the proposed Breakfast Creek green bridge is delivered, and as part of the Council’s preliminary planning, locals are invited to have their say about the proposed project before Friday 6 December 2019.
The Breakfast Creek green bridge is intended for pedestrians and cyclists use, improving walking and cycling experience between the new Lores Bonney Riverwalk, a recently delivered project as part of Council’s Kingsford Smith Drive upgrade, as well as enhancing recreational experiences along the River
