BrisConnections has been selected as the preferred bidder for Airport Link.

BrisConnections has proposed changes to the Project Reference Design assessed in the EIS to better address the project objectives and in response to the request for innovation to further mitigate impacts identified in the reference project.

Some of the proposed changes are also in response to recommendations of the Coordinator-General for the need to reduce project impacts on particular localities or local communities.

These changes are set out in a ‘Request for Project Change Report’ and include changes to the project design, including the tunnel alignment, surface connections and changes to improve traffic movements. They also include changes to project delivery, including construction methodology and coordinating construction with the Northern Busway.

This ‘Request for Project Change Report’ was on public display for comment between 31 May and 30 June 2008 at the following locations:

• Brisbane Square Library
• Nundah Library
• Hamilton Library
• Chermside Library
• Grange Library
• Queensland Transport Customer Service Centre

It was also on display at the Visitor Information Centre at 109 Gympie Road, Kedron and at the three Community Information sessions held in May and June 2008.

The Co-ordinator General also invited submission from interested parties about the project. These submissions as well as feedback received from the other consultation activities have been reviewed as part of the development of the Submission Report for the Co-ordinator General.

It is anticipated that the Co-ordinator General will make a final recommendation in August 2008 as to how the projects should progress.
