Contributing to West End’s status as a major
residential, commercial, cultural and entertainment
hub are its unrivalled transport connections to
the CBD and surrounding suburbs, as well as its
expansive parks and recreational facilities.
This impressive infrastructure makes West End
a desirable destination.
High-frequency City Glider buses, CityCats, CityCycle locations,
bus and pedestrian bridges and dedicated riverside bikeways
provide direct access to the CBD and South Bank and to world
class institutes of learning. Such as UQ, QUT, Griffith University,
South Bank Institute of Technology and the Conservatorium
of Music, along with numerous leading schools and hospitals,
both public and private.
While bridges to Hale St, St Lucia and the city offer convenient
bus and road connections to surrounding suburbs and arterials,
West End’s natural position in the bow of the Brisbane River
limits most road traffic to local users only.
Local parks, including Orleigh Park, Riverside Parkland and
Davies Park provide safe, family-friendly recreational areas
with direct pedestrian access to the river, and under ongoing
government initiatives.
