Squaring the Wheel
Commuters make the most
of new Springfield stations
3
Commuting for Springfield residents to
Brisbane and vice versa is now made
easier with the completion of the new
Springfield passenger rail line in the
city’s booming eastern suburbs.
The $475 million Richlands to
Springfield transport corridor includes
two new stations at Springfield and
Springfield Central, as well as a dual
carriageway upgrade of the Centenary
Highway to Springfield Parkway.
The project’s completion marked a
significant milestone for the Springfield
region, with Springfield Land
Corporation also recently celebrating
30 years in Ipswich.
In that time, the Springfield,
Brookwater and Augustine Heights
regions have experienced extraordinary
population growth, which is only set
to continue as Ipswich’s population
climbs from 180,000 to an estimated
462,000 in the next 18 years.
This new rail line and upgraded
transport corridor has the full support
of all three levels of government and
will play a significant role in managing
the region’s population growth.
The new Springfield
Central station
This exciting exhibition to be
featured in the Children’s Gallery
brings together circus skills, puppetry,
magic, wacky mechanisms and
unexpected music in a theatrical
stage extravaganza.
When an eccentric misfit meets
a strange world of mechanisms,
everything turns into a challenging
and surprising discovery. Coming to
the Ipswich Art Gallery from 8-19 April
2014, Squaring the Wheel is a family
show inhabited by quirky contraptions.
In a story of finding one’s place, enjoy
the kooky antics, absurd gadgets,
tomfoolery and high energy with
Squaring the Wheel. Two sessions will
run daily at 10am and 12.30pm.
Bookings are essential and tickets
cost $5 for the 60 minute show. Visit
