DEVELOPMENT UPDATE.
Ferny Grove Park n Ride Opens
The Ferny Grove Central development has hit a major milestone with the opening of a new congestion-busting free commuter Park ‘n’ Ride car park at the Ferny Grove railway station.The project will transform Brisbane’s north-west with the new transit oriented development combining the new Park ‘n’ Ride, as well as future apartment living, a major retail centre (with a total of 1,400 car parks for commuters) and an entertainment precinct.
Maxcap Group and Honeycombes Property Group are developing the entire Ferny Grove Central project.
It’s the first suburban train station to be included in a mixed-use development since the Toowong development almost 40 years ago.
Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey was joined by local State Member for Ferny Grove Mark Furner and Peter Honeycombe, managing director of Honeycombes Property Group at the official opening of the Ferny Grove Park ‘n’ Ride on Friday 10th November. The project is jointly funded with a total investment of $22 million, comprising $12 million from the Australian Government and $10 million from the Queensland Government.
More than 800 full time jobs are being created by the development, including about 285 jobs directly tied to the construction project.
Peter Honeycombe said he was very pleased that the new parking facility was open.
“We know that this facility has been eagerly awaited by residents of north-west Brisbane especially around Ferny Grove and we’re delighted to open the Park ‘n’ Ride today and to deliver it as an asset to Transport and Main Roads.
“As everyone knows, the past few years have been some of the most challenging conditions for the entire construction industry but I want to pay tribute to our project partners Broad Construction, a subsidiary of CPB Contractors (part of the ASX-listed CIMIC Group) and Transport and Main Roads. Stage 1 has only been possible because of their great work and commitment, the collaboration with the Queensland Government and the support of the Federal Government.
“The local community of Ferny Grove has been very patient and supportive while the car park has been under construction and we thank them for that support. The Park ‘n’ Ride is a signature asset for the people of Queensland in a fast growing region and we know it will make a big difference to people of Ferny Grove in their transport and travel.
With Stage 1 now complete, work will start in the coming weeks on Stage 2 of the project with The Fernery apartments and the new 12,000 sq m retail centre, which are all expected to be open in Q2 2025.”
