Benefits
  • Enhanced public amenity through street trees and gardens, street furniture and place making elements.
  • Improved pedestrian connectivity and safety.
  • Enhanced ‘sense of place’ through celebration of local site features within the neighbourhood precinct.
  • Supporting opportunities for increased local economic growth. 

This exciting project will consider connectivity with adjoining sites including Witton Barracks Park and the Indooroopilly Railway Station.

This project is part of the Better Suburbs – Places and Spaces program. It supports Council’s commitment to creating a city of vibrant neighbourhoods.

In mid‑2025, we invited the community to share ideas and feedback to inform a concept design for Lambert Road. The design focuses on the section between Railway Avenue and Clarence Road in Indooroopilly.

Your feedback highlighted key areas for improvement including:

  • more landscaping
  • better pedestrian access
  • improved safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.

In March and April 2026, we invited you to share feedback on the concept design. You could provide feedback online or at community information kiosks.

Community engagement has now closed and we thank everyone who provided feedback.

Community input and support for the concept design will help inform the final improvement plan. This plan is for the Lambert Road Better Suburbs Places and Spaces project in Indooroopilly.

You can view the concept design, which includes:

  • more street trees and garden beds to improve landscaping, shade and comfort
  • potential for a wider footpath at the front of Indooroopilly train station, managed by Queensland Rail. The upgrade would help people move more easily to and from trains
  • better footpath and pedestrian crossing connections on Lambert Road’s northern and southern sides. These changes will make walking easier and safer for everyone
  • improved safety through narrowing of Lambert Road at the intersection with Clarence Road and realigned vehicle turnaround area. This encourages slower traffic speeds and reduces risk
  • upgraded connections for people walking , cycling, or driving to the River Loop, Riverwalk and Witton Barracks Park
  • new seating areas and street furniture, including seats, bins and bike racks. Creative placemaking elements will also help make the space more welcoming
  • a new entry and seating area for Witton Barracks Park and the community hub. The upgrade will create a clearer, more welcoming place to meet and rest.

These changes support your daily travel and help improve safety. They also create a more comfortable place to spend time, whether you live nearby or are passing through.

Note the proposed road and pedestrian safety improvements will require a loss of up to twelve car parking bays.

  • 14 July to 3 August 2025: Project launch and investigation plan for community ideas and feedback. Engagement activities occurred both on-site and online.
  • 23 March to 12 April 2026: Proposed concept design released for community feedback.
  • Early 2027: Final improvement plan released and start of construction.
  • Late 2027: Proposed project completion.
