Other considerations

Planning context

Road classification

McLennan Street is classified as a District Road in Brisbane City Plan 2014 (City Plan).

McLennan Street connects adjoining residential catchments to citywide destinations and services several commercial businesses, two churches, as well as nearby local industry. McLennan Street is parallel to an arterial (Lutwyche Road) and two suburban roads (Hudson Road Bridge Street and Albion Road-Albion Overpass). It provides the only direct connection between Chalk Street and Albion Road/Albion Overpass for large residential catchments.

Zoning

McLennan Street provides an important access route to high density residential and district centre land uses. All side streets along McLennan Street provide access to zoned high density residential (up to eight storey multiple unit dwellings), low-medium density residential (two-three storey multiple unit dwellings) and character residential (low density residential).

Please note:-

• McLennan Street has been identified as a road where road resurfacing may be beneficial for consideration within a future financial year’s Smoother Suburban Street program, which may further help to minimise road noise, and improve residential amenity. Resurfacing on McLennan Street will continue to be considered alongside other locations across the city.
  
  
• The existing 60km/h speed limit on McLennan Street is currently being reviewed by Council in accordance with the Queensland Government’s guidelines. If changes to the speed limit are required, Council will install signage to advise motorists of any change.
  
  
• Some potential ideas may require future consultation with external agencies, such as the Department of Transport and Main Roads, Queensland Rail and the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service, if supported.
