⚠️ Temporary overnight closure of Centenary Bridge shared path
Work to demolish and refurbish the old Centenary Bridge will require the shared pedestrian and cycling path to close for two nights in early March.
🕘 Closure times:
• Sunday 1 March, 9pm to 4am
• Tuesday 3 March, 9pm to 4am
During these overnight closures, it will not be possible to walk or cycle across the river between Jindalee and Fig Tree Pocket using the bridge.
If you normally use this route, please plan ahead. The Jack Pesch Bridge remains an alternative, but it is a much longer diversion.
These closures are necessary to safely progress the Centenary Bridge Upgrade Project.

Public transport has never been more affordable with 50 cent fares now in place. 🚌
But affordability is only part of the story. Services still need to be frequent, reliable, and actually go where people need them.
I want to hear directly from you about what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to improve. Your feedback will help shape our advocacy for better public transport in Mount Ommaney and surrounding suburbs.
Take the quick survey and have your say 👇

It was wonderful to welcome Chamber President Mike, who dropped by with a certificate of thanks on behalf of the Chamber.
Because of your kindness, more than 700 children received gifts and experienced the joy of Christmas. That is something truly special. 💛 ... See MoreSee Less

Hope and opportunity. ✨
That’s what our Eritrean community spoke about at their recent Australia Day event, and I was so proud to highlight the achievements of Mohammed, a newly minted lawyer. 👏⚖️ What an incredible accomplishment and a testament to hard work and determination.

Wow!! 🎉
What a joy to celebrate 50 years of Probus in Australia with our local Probus clubs at the Jindalee Bowls Club. 🥂
I’ve often said the reason Mount Ommaney is such a genuinely welcoming and harmonious place to live is because of wonderful social groups like Probus, which provide connection, friendship and community.
Very few members of the Queensland Parliament can lay claim to five active Probus clubs in their electorate!! 👏 That is something truly special.
It was such a privilege to properly thank them for their enormous contribution to our community. 💙 ... See MoreSee Less
