MESSAGE FROM NICOLE

Hi Everyone

Good luck to all the grade 12 students who are about to finish classroom learning and prepare for their final exams. This is an amazing cohort that have undertaken so much of their senior school schooling during the pandemic and I want to wish them every success over the next few weeks.

If you ae looking for something to do locally, there is a really diverse range of local events on right around the ward. Check out all the events below and I hope to see you at some of these great activities.

I also encourage residents to check out the changes to the Council bus network proposed by the Lord Mayor as part of his $1.8 billion big bus project called the Brisbane Metro. There are significant changes to most existing bus services around the ward including truncations, cancellations, route merges and new services. It is clear these changes were cooked up well before the “consultation” announced recently. If you use a bus service at all, please check out the details below and how you can have your say. 

I value your feedback and you are most welcome send your feedback to me, especially if the Council survey limits your comments.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards, Nicole.

BRISBANE'S NEW BUS NETWORK

If you rely on a Council bus service it is critical that you check out the changes to bus services proposed by the Lord Mayor as part of his big bendy bus project, the $1.8billion Brisbane Metro. There are major changes proposed to buses in almost all suburbs. This is really disturbing news and I welcome feedback from residents about how you may be affected by these changes.  

Some of the key changes in Tennyson Ward include:

  • 105 and 108 services are being amalgamated
  • 105 will be truncated at the PA Hospital and will no longer travel through Yeronga
  • 107 becomes an all-day city service that starts in Yeerongpilly instead of Indooroopilly
  • 192 City to UQ service will be extended through Yeronga to Yeerongpilly
  • Multiple changes to Ipswich Rd corridor service routes and destination
  • There do not appear to be any changes to the 100, 102, 104, 106, 196 Buz routes

The biggest shortcoming is the lack of timetable information aside from service start and finish times.

What’s missing?

  • additional night and weekend services
  • no new Buz services
  • no direct bus service between Yeronga and Indooroopilly
  • bus options for Oxley residents

I am concerned that Council, in its own materials, indicates that about 10% of all existing bus travellers will actually be worse off or have no alternatives.

You can view further information on the proposed changes on the Brisbane City Council website here which includes an online interactive map.

To have your say:

  • Saturday 12 November, 10am-12pm at Pamphlett-Tennyson Sea Scouts Den, 284 Graceville Ave, Graceville;
  • Saturday 24 November, 11am-1pm at Indooroopilly Library, Level 4, 322 Moggill Rd, Indooroopilly (Further sessions available and listed on the Council website here);
  • call 1800 692 333 (business hours);
  • email metro@brisbane.qld.gov.au; or
  • write to:
    Brisbane New Bus Network
    Brisbane City Council
    GPO Box 1434
    Brisbane Qld 4001.

Please copy me in on your feedback so I can make representations on your behalf as the local Councillor. Consultation closes midnight on Wednesday 14 December 2022.
