Going Car-Free in Brisbane? UQ Study Says the City Just Won’t Let You

A University of Queensland study has found life in Brisbane is increasingly difficult without a car, with even a small group of participants largely clustered near the CBD, while those living in outer areas like Manly faced greater challenges getting around.

Read: New Design Released for Parking and Safety Changes at Manly State Boat Harbour

The study, led by Associate Professor Dorina Pojani from UQ’s School of Architecture, Design and Planning alongside PhD scholar Sufian Almubarak and researcher Sara Alidoust, recruited five men and five women to go completely car-free for 20 days.

Most participants lived within two kilometres of the Brisbane CBD, but three came from further afield: one from Manly in the east, one from Indooroopilly in the inner-west, and one from Oxley in the south-west. The inclusion of participants from outer suburbs like Manly made the study’s findings relevant beyond the inner city.

Participants were asked to stick to their normal daily routines using only public transport, cycling, walking, and micro-mobility devices like e-scooters. Taxis and ride-share services were available as a last resort in genuine emergencies.

Despite the range of alternatives on offer, every single participant was relieved when the trial ended and none were willing to make the switch permanent.

Dr Pojani said the overwhelming feedback from participants was that living without a car in Brisbane was simply too difficult. She attributed this to the city’s sprawling, low-density layout and its lack of integrated transport options, barriers she said were the product of longstanding planning decisions.

Initial enthusiasm among participants gave way to frustration, with most finding the experience disorienting. Public transport performed reasonably well in the inner city but fell short once participants ventured further out.

Particular difficulties

Parents in the group also faced particular difficulties. Getting children to school or after-school activities without a car meant relying on other people who still had one. Family day trips and out-of-town travel had to be cancelled altogether.

There was some financial relief. Participants saved around $300 in car-running costs over the trial, though they still spent an average of $125 on alternative transport. One participant noted surprise at how much money their car had been costing them. Queensland’s 50-cent public transport fares made a difference, with Dr Pojani noting that patronage has risen in response to the policy, but she said cheaper fares alone were not enough to shift people’s reliance on private vehicles.

Four participants did pledge to use public transport for short trips within the inner city after the trial, but all stressed that fully surrendering the car was out of the question.

The research, conducted across two comparable low-density cities, Brisbane and Al-Ahsa in Saudi Arabia, was published in the journal Transportation. Dr Pojani concluded that in sprawling cities like Brisbane, people cannot reasonably be expected to give up driving without significant investment in public transport.

For Manly residents already familiar with the gaps in eastern suburbs connectivity, that message will land without much argument.

Several teenagers have been charged over alleged break-ins and vehicle thefts linked to Manly and Manly West.

Early Morning Theft In Manly West

Police have charged multiple teenagers following investigations into incidents reported on 16 March in Manly and Manly West.

During the early morning, a group of teenagers allegedly stole a white Toyota Fortuner from a Raeburn Street address in Manly West. The vehicle was later located at about 12.30 p.m. near a railway crossing on Pritchard Street in Wynnum.

A 12-year-old girl from Manly and a 15-year-old girl from Wynnum West were each charged with one count of unlawful use of a motor vehicle and one count of stealing. Both are scheduled to appear before Wynnum Children’s Court on 2 April.

A 13-year-old girl from Wynnum was also arrested at the scene and charged with one count of unlawful use of a motor vehicle. She will be dealt with under the Youth Justice Act.

A 14-year-old boy from Wynnum West was later located and charged with one count of unlawful use of a motor vehicle and one count of enter dwelling and commit. He is also due to appear before Wynnum Children’s Court on 2 April.

Second Break-In Allegedly Linked In Manly

Police will further allege the incident is linked to a second break-in in Manly on the same morning.

At about 4 a.m., two teenagers allegedly entered a New Road residence and made verbal threats towards an 87-year-old woman while armed with a knife. The pair allegedly stole the woman’s white Toyota LandCruiser before leaving the scene.

The vehicle was later recovered abandoned on Gwynne Street in Wynnum West. The woman was not physically injured.

Further Charges And Court Proceedings

On 17 March, police charged a 15-year-old boy from Manly West with two counts each of unlawful use of a motor vehicle and enter dwelling and commit, along with one count of fraud – dishonest application of property of another. He is expected to appear before Wynnum Children’s Court on 2 April.

On 18 March, a 16-year-old boy from Keperra was arrested at a Coralie Avenue address in Wynnum West. He has been charged with two counts each of unlawful use of a motor vehicle and enter dwelling and commit, and one count of wilful damage.

Police bail was refused and he was expected to appear before Wynnum Children’s Court on 19 March.

Tributes Flow for Brisbane Spearfisher and Martial Arts Instructor After Batt Reef Tragedy

Britannica

Brisbane spearfisher and martial arts instructor Louie McHugh, 23, died near Batt Reef off Port Douglas on Saturday after failing to resurface during a diving trip with friends.

McHugh had travelled to Port Douglas for a weekend away and was diving from a boat near Batt Reef, approximately 11 kilometres north-east of Port Douglas, when the incident occurred around 11.30am. After he did not resurface, friends searched the water before calling emergency services. Marine and aerial assets, including rescue helicopter 510, were deployed in a search and rescue operation that continued for nearly three hours. Authorities located McHugh unresponsive in the water just after 2.20pm.

Police have not confirmed the cause of death. A suspected shallow water blackout, a sudden and potentially fatal loss of consciousness during breath-hold diving caused by oxygen depletion, is being investigated as a possible factor.

A Proud Iona Old Boy

McHugh attended Iona College, the all-boys Catholic school in Wynnum West that draws students from across the bayside suburbs including Manly, Wynnum and surrounding areas. The Iona College Old Boys Association paid tribute to McHugh, joining its community in offering prayers and sympathy to his family. Friends who had trained alongside him, including fellow Iona old boys, shared their grief publicly in the days following the incident.

One parent of a former student recalled McHugh as a generous and humble young man who had formed a genuine friendship with her son, also an Iona old boy, while training him in Muay Thai at Progressive Martial Arts in Tingalpa. Under McHugh’s guidance, the young fighter won his most recent bout. The mother described McHugh as an exceptional trainer who left a lasting impression on all who trained with him.

Martial Arts Career Cut Short

McHugh had built a respected profile in Brisbane’s martial arts scene after more than 15 years of training at Progressive Martial Arts in Tingalpa. He trained under head coach Cookie Vassiliou and held rankings under Ajarn Chai and Professor Jean Jacques Machado, with connections to the lineage of Guro Dan Inosanto. He worked as an instructor at the school, mentoring younger students and competing as a ring fighter.

Vassiliou remembered McHugh as a go-getter and a talented instructor who gave himself fully to his students and the sport. She noted the community found some comfort in knowing he had died doing something he loved. Progressive Martial Arts has launched a fundraiser to assist his family with ongoing costs, available through the school’s social media pages.

McHugh is survived by his mother Sue, father Mark, and sisters Niamph, Freya and Immy.

Why This Matters to the Manly and Bayside Community

For families across Manly, Wynnum, and the broader bayside area, Louie McHugh was not a distant figure. He was the kind of young man many residents knew personally, through Iona College, through the martial arts community centred in nearby Tingalpa, or through the tight social networks that connect bayside suburbs. His loss resonates because he represented something many local families recognise: a young person who grew up in this community, stayed connected to it, and gave back through his work as a coach and mentor.

For those in the bayside community who fish, dive or spend time on the water, this story also carries an important safety message. Shallow water blackout can affect experienced divers without warning, and understanding its risks is something every water-loving household in the area can benefit from knowing. The Cairns Spearfishing Club‘s call for awareness and education is a message that applies just as much to Queensland’s south-east coast as it does to Far North Queensland.

Batt Reef and Spearfishing Risks

Batt Reef, where McHugh was diving, is among the largest sections of the Great Barrier Reef system, covering an area 18 kilometres long and 5 kilometres wide. The reef is a popular destination for snorkelling and diving, with tourist vessels regularly departing from the Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina in Port Douglas. It is also the site where Australian conservationist and zookeeper Steve Irwin died in September 2006 after a stingray barb struck him during an underwater filming session.

The Cairns Spearfishing Club encouraged anyone affected to reach out to its committee for support or to learn more about safe diving practices.

Manly Gets First-of-Its-Kind Dementia Care Unit as Anglicare Opens New SDCP Facility

For families in Manly and across Brisbane’s bayside who have been searching for appropriate care for a loved one living with severe dementia, help is now much closer to home. Anglicare Southern Queensland has officially opened its third Specialist Dementia Care Program (SDCP) unit at the E.M. Tooth Residential Aged Care Home in Manly.

Read: Did You Know This Oceana Terrace Property is the Oldest Surviving House in the Manly-Lota Area?

The new unit is the first of its kind for the area, filling a gap in specialist dementia care for the region. It is also the 27th unit under the federal Department of Health, Disability and Ageing’s Specialist Dementia Care Program, a national initiative that provides care for those who cannot be supported in mainstream aged care settings.

The unit will provide highly tailored care for eight residents who experience severe behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia and are unable to be effectively supported in mainstream aged care settings.

Anglicare SQ chief executive officer Sue Cooke welcomed the opening, describing it as a vital development for the region. She said the E.M. Tooth facility was now equipped to offer a program that was a first for south Brisbane — one that would provide a supportive, safe environment where residents could be treated with dignity and respect.

The numbers underpinning that need are significant. In 2025, an estimated 85,200 Australians were living with all forms of dementia, a figure projected to rise to 168,300 by 2054.

The design of the unit has been carefully considered. The purpose-built facility features a small, cottage-style living environment with open-plan layouts, homely furnishings, secure outdoor areas and calming colour schemes, all designed to promote comfort, safety and independence.

Anglicare SQ is not starting from scratch here. The organisation already runs SDCP units at Abri Residential Aged Care Home on the Gold Coast and St Martin’s Residential Aged Care Home in North Brisbane, the latter of which has been recognised by external stakeholders as the gold standard for SDCP delivery.

That track record has directly shaped what’s been built at Manly. Ms Cooke said the experience of running two established SDCP units had given the organisation critical insight into what works, and that those learnings had shaped every aspect of the new facility.

The program’s clinical model is built around stabilisation and transition. Ms Cooke said the goal was to reduce or stabilise each resident’s dementia symptoms through individual behaviour support and care plans, with an average expected length of stay of six to 12 months, after which residents may be able to move to a less intensive care setting. She emphasised, however, that the program takes a personalised approach, with the duration of each resident’s stay tailored to their unique needs.

The unit employs specialist nurses and works with geriatricians and other practitioners to deliver best-practice care. Ms Cooke also noted that the accommodation plays a broader role in helping to free up acute hospital beds for those who need them.

For the Manly community, the message is a reassuring one. When dementia becomes severe and complex, residents and their families now have access to specialist care, right here in the neighbourhood.

Tingalpa Residents Could Soon Shop for Fresh Produce Marketplace at New Local Hub

Photo Credit: DA A006952986

A retired fitness centre in Tingalpa will be repurposed into a modern fruit barn and retail marketplace to provide residents with easier access to fresh local produce.

A New Lease on Life for Wynnum Road

The development application, submitted on 3 February 2026, focuses on the site at 1604 Wynnum Road. Instead of tearing down the existing building, JSTN Architects designed a plan to renovate and improve the former gymnasium. This approach avoids the need for massive new construction projects while giving the street a refreshed look.

The proposal includes new awnings at the front and back to make the area more comfortable for visitors. By using the current structure, the project aims to blend into the neighborhood while offering something new for the community.

Fresh Food and Local Convenience

The heart of the project is a large fruit barn covering 545 square metres. This space will focus on providing groceries and healthy food options for families living nearby. Two smaller sections, totaling 205 square metres, are set aside for food and drink businesses. These could eventually house anything from a local bakery or coffee shop to a small restaurant.

According to the planning report from Clegg Town Planning, the goal is to help locals get their weekly shopping done without having to drive to larger, more crowded shopping centres. The site will also feature 49 car parking spaces to handle the expected flow of daily shoppers.

Serving the Growing Community

The marketplace is designed to be a handy stop for different groups of people. It targets residents in the emerging community zone, as well as people working in nearby industrial areas and commuters passing through. Because the site is located in a developing area, the planners believe it will meet the basic service needs of growing households.

The proposed trading hours are from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm every day of the week, allowing early risers and late-shift workers to grab what they need. By keeping the scale of the business small, the developers intend to support the local economy without disrupting the existing balance of larger retail hubs in the region.

East Coast Marina Seeks Approval for New Clubhouse, Restaurants and Retail at Manly Boat Harbour

DA A006949411

A development application lodged in January 2026 proposes demolishing the existing buildings at the East Coast Marina at 576 Royal Esplanade, Manly, and replacing them with a new two-storey clubhouse, restaurant, café, retail shops and marine industry workshops overlooking Moreton Bay.

Architect Reid Campbell designed the proposal, with planning consultants Willowtree Planning lodging the application on behalf of MA Marina Fund. The development covers the south-eastern portion of the site and delivers 1,239 square metres of new floor space across two purpose-built buildings. The development application reference is A006949411.

East Coast Marina is the only privately owned facility within the 1,800-berth Manly Boat Harbour, located 20 kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD. MA Marina Fund, part of alternative asset manager MA Financial, acquired the site in February 2024 for $33 million, cementing its position as the largest marina group in the southern hemisphere. The site, which occupies more than 5.6 hectares of state leases along Moreton Bay, had been in the same hands for more than four decades before that sale. The marina controls 330 berths and dry storage for 240 vessels, alongside a full-service boatyard and a range of commercial tenancies.

What the Proposal Involves

The application proposes demolishing two existing brick marina buildings and the current 148-space car park, replacing them with two new structures. The first is a two-storey club, café and retail building rising to 8.5 metres. A club lounge and café occupy the ground floor, with an ancillary restaurant on the upper level. Large windows along the north and east elevations face the harbour, and an external walkway separates the ground floor tenancies to provide pedestrian connectivity throughout the development. The upper-floor restaurant is accessible via lower-level staircase entries.

The second building houses five marine industry workshop tenancies, with glass shopfronts on the western elevation and large roller doors on the eastern side for vessel access. Precast concrete panels and vertical metal sheeting form the exterior, consistent with an industrial character while remaining in keeping with the broader site.

The proposed uses across the 1,239 square metre total floor area include 404 square metres of club space, 214 square metres of food and drink outlet, 243 square metres across five retail tenancies, and 378 square metres across five marine industry workshop tenancies. Finished floor levels sit at 3.1 metres AHD, addressing flood planning levels to 2100. Existing boat stacks are not affected by the proposal.

The 148-space car park reduces to 118 spaces under the proposal, including two accessible bays, with vehicle access continuing via the existing service road and T-intersection at Royal Esplanade. A traffic report by Bitzios Consulting noted that a survey conducted in July 2025 found the existing car park was underused during typical weekday and standard operating periods.

Community Feedback: Parking Emerges as the Central Issue

The development application attracted public submissions during its consultation period, with parking emerging as the dominant concern shared by both supporters and opponents of the proposal.

One marina user submitted support for the development in principle but raised concerns about the existing parking situation on weekends and during holiday periods. That submission described the current car park as already overwhelmed on its busiest days, with overflow vehicles spilling onto local streets and the adjacent public boat ramp facility. The submitter argued that on-site parking needed to increase rather than decrease to protect both the local streetscape and nearby public facilities from additional pressure.

A separate submission opposed the development solely on parking grounds, noting that weekends and holidays already fill the existing spaces and that expanding the marina’s dining, retail and club activity would only intensify that demand. That submitter indicated they would oppose the development unless the parking supply increased.

Both submissions draw from the same concern: the marina’s busiest periods already push beyond the capacity of the current 148 spaces, and reducing that figure to 118 while increasing the scale of activity on the site creates a genuine risk of worsening conditions for residents, road users and users of the nearby public boat ramp.

A Site With a Long History in Manly Harbour

East Coast Marina has served Brisbane boaties since 1980, becoming the first marina in Queensland to gain Clean Marina Status in 2006. The site sits between the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron and Wynnum Manly Yacht Club within a harbour that also hosts Manly Harbour Boat Club, and operates under state leases across its 5.6-hectare waterfront holding.

Since the 2024 acquisition, the marina has operated under the d’Albora brand as part of the MA Marina Fund network. Current on-site services include boat maintenance and detailing, marine engineering and electrical trades, a café, a yacht training centre and boat sales through the d’Albora Yacht Brokers network. That mix of active commercial tenancies gives the redevelopment proposal a clear operational context, replacing ageing buildings with purpose-designed facilities suited to a working marina serving Moreton Bay.

How to View or Comment on the Application

The development application A006949411 is publicly accessible through the development application portal. It contains the full plans, traffic report, consultant documentation and all submitted public submissions. Enquiries about the application can be directed to planning consultants Willowtree Planning at willowtreeplanning.com.au or architect Reid Campbell at reidcampbell.com.

New Design Released for Parking and Safety Changes at Manly State Boat Harbour

Manly State Boat Harbour is preparing for changes at Norfolk Point, with a new concept design outlining safety and accessibility upgrades for Trafalgar Street and the surrounding parking area to support pedestrians, drivers and cyclists using the busy waterfront precinct.

Maritime Safety Queensland issued a community media alert on 20 February 2026, confirming the works are scheduled to begin by mid-2026.

According to Maritime Safety Queensland, the project will modernise parking arrangements at the harbour and cater to increased demand for access. The concept design centres on safety, accessibility and connectivity in an area where vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians share close space near the boat ramp and foreshore.

The proposed works include a new accessible pathway, marked accessible parking spaces, speed humps, updated signage and line marking, bicycle parking facilities and a raised pedestrian crossing. Trafalgar Street is also set to be resurfaced as part of the upgrade.

These elements are shown in detail on the official Maritime Safety Queensland project page, where the full concept plan can be viewed.

Slower speeds and clearer layout

The concept map indicates a 20 km/h speed zone in parts of the project area. The inclusion of speed humps and a raised pedestrian crossing is intended to support safer movement between parking areas and waterfront access points.

Improved signage and refreshed line marking are also part of the design, helping to clarify parking spaces and traffic directions within the precinct. Maritime Safety Queensland states the upgrades aim to improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians, vehicles and cyclists.

The accessible pathway and parking spaces are designed to support people with mobility needs, making it easier to move between vehicles and the waterfront.

Supporting a well-used harbour precinct

Norfolk Point sits within a section of Manly State Boat Harbour that sees regular activity from boat owners, recreational fishers, cyclists and families visiting the waterfront. While the concept design does not outline changes to the broader harbour layout, it focuses specifically on Trafalgar Street and the adjacent parking facility.

Maritime Safety Queensland has made the concept design publicly available online so community members can review the proposed layout ahead of construction. Further details about staging and timing are expected closer to the planned start date in mid-2026.

Once completed, the works are intended to update the parking configuration and improve safety and accessibility in this part of the harbour precinct.

Brisbane Moves to Auction Wakerley Property Over Mounting Rates Debt

A Wakerley property is among eight homes across Brisbane that authorities have moved to auction in February 2026 to recover a collective debt of nearly a quarter of a million dollars in unpaid rates.

Read: Housing Supply Stalls in Wakerley, Other Suburbs, as Empty Nesters Stay Put

The property, located on Cynthia Place in Wakerley, is among the properties flagged for forced auction by BCC, owing more than $28,000.

The other homes earmarked for sale are located in The Gap, Red Hill, Ashgrove, Kelvin Grove, Albion, Darra and Forest Lake, a mix of freestanding houses and apartments where owners have failed to settle their outstanding rates despite repeated contact from council officers and court based debt recovery efforts.

Cr Adrian Schrinner told the council chamber that officers had made multiple attempts to contact owners directly and had pursued debts through the court system before escalating to forced auction. He said roughly nine out of ten debts had been cleared in previous cases once owners realised the threat of sale was genuine. Cr Schrinner said it was simply not fair on ratepayers who consistently do the right thing.

Opposition leader Jared Cassidy backed the principle of recovering overdue rates but urged BCC staff to carefully check whether any debts had accumulated unintentionally, for instance where language barriers or other challenges may have played a role, before moving to sell.

Brisbane has pursued this course of action before. In 2018, BCC initiated forced sale proceedings against nine properties over unpaid rates then totalling around $130,000.

What happens when Brisbane rates go unpaid?

Missing a rates payment in Brisbane doesn’t immediately put a home at risk, but the consequences escalate quickly if debts are left unresolved. Interest begins accruing on late payments straight away, and BCC follows up with formal reminder notices allowing time to pay.

If the account remains in arrears, the council can take legal action and place a charge known as a lien over the property. When all other avenues have been exhausted, BCC can proceed to auction the property to recoup what is owed, as is now the case for the Cynthia Place home and seven others across Brisbane.

Residents can find more information about managing Brisbane rates at the BCC website.

What buyers should know

Those interested in purchasing at a rates recovery auction should keep a close watch on upcoming BCC auction listings. These properties are sold as is, and buyers need to be aware that they may be responsible for managing the eviction process, including any legal steps required to gain vacant possession of the property after settlement.

For Wakerley residents, the situation on Cynthia Place underscores how essential local services such as rubbish collection, park upkeep and road maintenance depend on everyone contributing their share. When rates go unpaid, the shortfall is one the broader community ends up carrying.
