Paper Petition

The petition of citizens of Queensland draw the attention to the House of
the impending loss of the heritage-listed Hornibrook Bridge which spans
the communities of Sandgate and Redcliffe. The bridge was constructed in
1935, (and at almost 2kms in length), it is one of the oldest and longest
timber and girder bridges in Australia.

The petitioners ask that the State and surrounding councils co-operate
concerning ongoing maintenance costs to protect and preserve this unique
piece of Queensland’s heritage, which is also a major recreational icon
for families, cyclists, joggers, walkers, anglers and people with
disabilities.
