SITE ANALYSIS

Nollie of Brisbane: showing urban density and the relationship between open space and the built environment. There is significant open space around the river bank which links the HSW to the riverwalk, city botanical gardens, QUT and Southbank via the Goodwill Bridge on eastern side and Newfarm and Bulimba on the western side. Opening up HSW with more public facilities and a 'drawcard' would significantly increase pedestrian and cyclist traffic through Brisbane.

Mobility in Brisbane is very much dominated by cars, the motorways crisscross the river and divide the city up into rectangular cubes. Alternative avenues of travel is along the ferry route, busways ans walkways.

The darker road is the highway crossing the bridge and entering into the city. Thicker lines indicate hierarcy of the streets. The mumbers denote the surrounding parts and the letter A the school All Hallows.
