Protected alignment
The busway alignment between Dorville Road, Carseldine and Telegraph Road, Bracken Ridge involves approved sections that have been protected as part of the Fitzgibbon Urban Development Area Development Scheme. This section is not subject to further community consultation.
The Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA) is responsible for master planning for the Fitzgibbon Urban Development Area, including the former QUT Carseldine site.
For more information about this planning, please contact the ULDA on 1300 130 215 or email [email protected].

The Northern Busway: Kedron to Bracken Ridge is an integral part of the Queensland Government’s long-term plan to meet the transport needs of Brisbane’s growing northern suburbs.
The busway will form part of the wider busway network for South East Queensland that delivers cleaner and greener transport solutions.

Long-term planningProtecting for the future
Planning for the busway now will ensure the land required is identified and protected to meet the public transport needs of the future. Once the corridor is protected, any development proposed in the vicinity of the corridor will be assessed by the Department of Transport and Main Roads. This will ensure:
any new development is integrated with • future busway facilities
impacts are minimised when the busway • is built
residents and property owners have • greater certainty about future plans.
The next stage of the planning process involves further techincal investigations and reviewing community feedback to identify the preferred corridor.

Community consultation plays an important role in identifying a busway alignment by providing the project team with invaluable local knowledge and feedback.
A community reference group has been established to enhance community consultation.
Community consultation activities remain a constant part of the planning process, enabling the project team to receive important feedback on busway planning.
Planning the Northern Busway: Kedron to Bracken Ridge will combine the eff orts of the local community and the planning team to develop the most suitable option for connecting Brisbane’s northern suburbs.
Tell us what you think The Department of Transport and Main Roads is seeking community feedback on draft busway corridor and station location options for the Northern Busway: Kedron to Bracken Ridge.
Your comments, together with the results of ongoing technical studies will help us develop a preferred busway corridor. Your feedback is important to help us get the planning right.
To fi nd out more about draft alignment options and have your say, attend a staff ed display or contact the project team.
Please provide your comments by Friday29 October 2010.

Northern Busway: Kedron to Bracken Ridge
Bracken Ridge park ‘n’ ride
A site at Bracken Ridge, near Telegraph Road has been protected as part of the busway planning through Fitzgibbon under the Fitzgibbon Development Scheme, as a future busway station and park ‘n’ ride facility.
The location and number of parking spaces for the park ‘n’ ride site will be determined as part of ongoing planning.

Why was this section of the busway alignment determined and approved ahead of other sections?
Planning for this section of the busway was accelerated to ensure the protection of a busway alignment by declaration of the busway corridor within the Fitzgibbon ULDA Development Scheme.
Why isn’t a busway alignment being considered along Beams Road?
The busway alignment through the Fitzgibbon Urban Development Area has been positioned to:
maximise the opportunity to service new • development within the area;
improve connections to Carseldine train station • and the Chermside Principal Activity Centre;
allow for the future grade separation of Beams • Road and the north coast rail line.
Beams Road is a constrained corridor with existing high volumes of traffi c. It is unlikely a busway would fi t
within this corridor without property requirements.

Train station
Carseldine busway station
A busway station will be located on the eastern side
of Carseldine train station, and will promote easy
interchange between the busway and train services.
How buses will travel between Dorville Road and Carseldine train station
In the short term, it is proposed buses would
continue to travel on Dorville Road to the Carseldine
bus and train interchange, via Beams Road.
In the longer term, buses would travel from Dorville
Road, via a local road in the former QUT Carseldine
site, which would connect to Carseldine train station,
via a rail overpass.
The Urban Land Development Authority is
undertaking planning for the former QUT Carseldine
site. For more information about this future planning
contact the Urban Land Development Authority on
1300 130 215 or email [email protected].
Dorville Road
Buses would travel on the road with general traffi c.
Preliminary investigations indicate Dorville
Road has suffi cient capacity to cater for current
and future traffi c volumes without the need for
dedicated bus priority.
