The Brisbane River Flood Study completed in 2017, highlighted that a number of buildings within the Mt Crosby precinct needed to be upgraded or relocated to increase the flood resilience of these assets. The East Bank Flood Resilience program focuses on mitigating the flooding risk to this essential infrastructure and renewing vital assets, while paying tribute to the rich cultural heritage of the site.
The development application for the Master Plan was submitted to Brisbane City Council in 2018 and Seqwater has been granted approval to proceed. The development application approval of the Masterplan includes the re-development of the East Bank Pump Station site, construction of a new electrical substation, improvements to the local community hall, and a new community park.
The construction of a new bridge across the Brisbane River and a new, purpose – built kindergarten are also being considered and are subject to further planning and approvals. Construction work is expected to commence on the electrical substation pad site in late - 2021.
