Northern Link

From a local point of view, this project will have a significant impact on our suburb and neighbouring suburbs. Whilst there will be significant benefit from the point of view of traffic flow, there is the potential for confined but nonetheless, significant disruption and displacement of residents etc. -especially if the feeder proposed from Croyden Street and Milton Road goes ahead. If you have not already seen the concept design or have not been involved in a community reference group, you can find out more by visiting the Northern Link website click here.

Because of the potential for disruptive impact for residents etc on the South Western edge of Auchenflower and proximal Toowong residents if the proposed secondary feeder becomes a reality, a local group known as the TTS (Toowong Tunnel Solutions Group is in the process of formation and more information can be acquired by emailing ttsgroup@optusnet.com.au

A Pictorial Record of Auchenflower
-a project launched in The Year of The Built Environment

The Auchenflower Residents Alliance initiated a project to create a pictorial record of all the houses and units in the suburb. This project began in 2004, The Year of the Built Environment and really should be ongoing. This is a community project, with the photographs being taken by members of the community, and displayed in a web picture album.

For the time being, this project appears to have become moribund because of a lack of enthusiasm and perhaps considered less relevant due to the introduction of Google's street view. However, Google's street view will likely not remain as a snap shot in time, as it will doubtless be updated as time goes by, so if you feel like contributing a view of the houses in your street which in the distant future may be historic...........
