Northern Link Tunnel Project

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
