Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House the potential loss of the heritage listed sandstone abutments of the Heiner Road Overbridge, Heiner Road and the Wharf Branch Railway at North Ipswich. They are Queensland’s first road overbridge crossing for a railway, the very first section of railway and the first main road to be built by a railway in Queensland. Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to protect and allow to publicly display in-situ at all costs and for all time these significant and unique pieces of Australia’s heritage and incorporate and feature them into any new development in this precinct for future generations.
