SHAND STREET LANDSLIP UPDATE

An update from Cr Andrew Wines, Enoggera Ward

The Shand Street landslip is among the largest and most technically difficult landslips from the 2022 floods, and Council want to make sure the solution is correct, complete, and safe.

The footpath on Shand Street is currently closed as land from the nearby embankment has slipped onto the pathway. A detour is in place through Grinstead Park on the opposite side of Shand Street to help people walk or ride around the closed footpath. Please follow the signage on site. Council is regularly monitoring the site to ensure no further slippage is occurring. Last month you may have seen Council conducting works on site, this included:

• Digging two test pits, refilled by end of day

• Some minimal clearing to get down to site

• Testing is to close the investigation and inform design solutions (to fix landslip and reopen footpath)

• Unlike other survey site work, there is no impact to road users

• The detour for pedestrians remains in place, no impact to this

• Accessing the landslip from the top (Matthews St, Stafford) Council will notify the community of restoration works before they start, and we appreciate the community’s patience and your continued use of the detour while the footpath remains closed.

If you have any further enquiries, please contact Council's City Projects Office on 1800 884 681 (during business hours), 07 3403 8888 (after hours), or email cityprojects@brisbane. qld.gov.au tossing things out. Local residents can bring their broken items to fix them on the spot with the help of volunteer repairers.

There is no charge for repairs but a donation to cover operating costs is encouraged. However, you must be able to carry the item in and carry it out again whether we are able to fix it or not.
