Recent press commentary on Moggill Ferry and Bridges

(Photo - The Moggill Ferry after breaking away during the Jan 2011 flood - thanks to Flickr:bushrestaurant)

There have been several recent articles in the press about the potential for bridge crossings at the Moggill ferry and Colleges Crossing to prevent route closures due to heavy rainfall and water releases.

It is well worth the community considering this. Forward planning and consideration of all the options is the best approach to finding a good solution to this issue and preventing kneejerk solutions from being promised near election times. (Remember the Goodna Bypass.)

If you have thoughts, including on the best way for the community to go about such a process, please:

or write to Queensland Main Roads Minister Craig Wallace, who is examining the issue.
