Bennett + Bennett is proud to provide the support of our town planning team for the upcoming Sandgate Ambulance Station in Bracken Ridge. The new station is a vital infrastructure project, necessary to serve the community following the closure of the previous station in 2023 due to a mandatory land resumption. The proposed site design will ‘blend’ into the existing public parkland to the south to allow visual continuity through the establishment of landscaping throughout the site. The design will also allow for greater visual amenity from Hoyland Street due to the removal of parts of the acoustic barrier which is to be replaced with a non-solid security fencing. This will allow cross flow ventilation of the premises, additionally there will be an increase in casual surveillance of the existing cycle path which currently is not visible from Hoyland Street or any adjoining land uses. Bennett + Bennett oversaw the preparation and submission of the application for a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation to the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government, and Planning. This project involved extensive consultation with local stakeholders, landowners, and the State Government to ensure a beneficial outcome for all parties involved.
