On Thursday, 31 July 2025, I asked the Director General of the Department of Transport and Main Roads about the acquittal of funding for the Witton Road-Twig Street bikeway.
You can read my question and the Director General's response below in full, or in the official Parliamentary record of proceedings here.
Mr BERKMAN: Yes, I have—perhaps too many, Mr Deputy Speaker, but I will start if I can with a hyperlocal question to the director-general. I am just interested in the proposed Witton Road-Twig Street bikeway connecting the Indro Riverwalk and the Western Freeway in my electorate. Can you just confirm that the $300,000 in TMR funding to BCC has been spent and acquitted on that project?
Ms Stannard: I will just clarify—the Lytton Road bikeway from the western—
Mr BERKMAN: Sorry, Witton—W-I-T-T-O-N.
Ms Stannard: Witton—thank you—from the end of the Western Freeway then?
Mr BERKMAN: That is right—Western Freeway to the Twig Street bikeway connecting the Indro Riverwalk to the Western Freeway.
Ms Stannard: I do not have the details in front of me. I will just check if my team do, otherwise we will seek some information and come back to you during the course of the session.
Mr BERKMAN: That would be great if you could. The only other issue I was interested in there was that we have not seen a design from council despite years of planning—I understand partially funded by state government—so are you able to confirm whether you have seen a concept plan for that project?
Ms Stannard: I thank the member for the supplementary question. I will take a note of that and we will seek to come back to you during the course of the evening.
Mr BERKMAN: Thanks kindly.
Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER: Is that okay, Minister? Thank you, Director-General

Mr MICKELBERG: [...] In relation to the question asked by the member for Maiwar about the Brisbane City Council cycleway projects, I can advise the committee that there are three Brisbane City Council projects in the area which are being supported by the Department of Transport and Main Roads through the Cycle Network Local Government Grants Program. I understand the project the member asked about is the Indooroopilly Riverwalk, Twig Street and Centenary Cycleway design shared path project. Brisbane City Council has completed the project and Department of Transport and Main Roads officers have been provided copies of the final designs. I can confirm that the total project cost was initially expected to be $300,000 but was finalised for $280,000 and the Department of Transport and Main Roads provided $140,000 in grant payments to Brisbane City Council.
