2.1 OVERVIEW OF SITE HERITAGE
The North Ipswich rail yards precinct is a highly significant cultural heritage site. It was Queen-sland’s primary railway workshops site, on the Mihi line to Granchester. The precinct was in continu-ous use from 1864 to the late 1990’s - the last of Australia’s large working rail yards from the 19th Century to remain in operation.
In 1865, the first trucks and carriage wagons were constructed at the workshops and an entire A1O locomotive was built there for the first time in 1877. By the mid 1880’s the workshops experienced a period of expansion in the northern portion of the Precinct. (Ref. Industrial Cycle, Geoff Ginn, Ihor holubisky,
Greg hallam, Douglas Neale)
Over the years, the workshops developed into a large industrial complex with over 50 buildings. The com-plex was largely self sufficient, with its own power-house and sawmill, and provided training and appren-ticeships for the workers needed to run the railways.
Over 200 steam locomotives had been built at the workshops by the 1950’s. Throughout the period of its operation, there were frequently as many as 3000 workers at the rail yards and as such, this site was an integral contributor to the economic and social life of Ipswich. (Ref. http://www.abc.net.au/queensland/heritage/stories/
s689279.htm]
Following the transfer of most of the operational aspects of The workshops to Redbank in the mid 1990s, the site has been substantially decommis-sioned other than for storage of rolling stock since 1997.
In 2001, The Workshops Rail Museum was devel-oped and handed over to the Queensland Museum on a turnkey basis. Funding for the establishment of the Workshops Rail Museum included $15 million from the Queensland heritage Trails Fund (Centenary of Federation funding) and a further $5 million gifted by Queensland Rail.
In March 2005, Queensland Rail sold approxi-mately 41 hectares of land adjoining the Work-shops site to Limpoma Pty Ltd (a company within the Leda holdings Pty Ltd). In April 2007, Leda holdings Pty Ltd developed and opened Riverlink Shopping Centre, approximately 2km to the south of the site on land overlooking the Bremer River.
2. SITE ANALYSIS
Queensland Rail currently maintains a presence at the Rail Yards, carrying out specialist steam en-gine and carriage restoration and operation of the heritage fleet.
An extensive collection of heritage buildings are still in existence today, though many are in various states of disrepair. Arranged in a perpendicular geometry to the ‘central’ traverser track, these pre-dominantly robust, wide span industrial structures lend themselves to an array of adaptive reuses.
Key ‘heritage’ themes that need to be reflected and celebrated in the vision Plan include;
- Industrial architectural heritage
- industrial and technological innovation
- Rail heritage
- Trade skill and training heritage
- Social and cultural heritage of the Ipswich region.

2.2 REGIONAL CONTEXT
The rail yards precinct is located within the fast-est growing region in Queensland. Under the South East Queensland Regional Plan, by 2031 this region should accommodate a population of approximately 500 000 people, while the south east Queensland population grows to an estimated 4.2 million people. In addition, Ipswich contains 43% of available industrial land within SEQ, with a capacity for approximately 335 000 jobs.
Located only 30kms from Brisbane’s CBD, cur-rently, as a tourist destination, Ipswich receives only 6% of all visitors to Brisbane (945 000 visi-tors). Of these visitors, 79% are day trippers, 20% over night in Ipswich and only 1% are international visitors. (Refer to Appendix 3: Tourism Opportuni-ties paper)
Ipswich was Queensland’s fastest growing LGA in the year to 30 June 2009 and was the only LGA to reach 5% total change in that period. Growth in Ipswich is forecast to be more than six times greater over the coming quarter century . Ipswich is set to capture one-third of expected growth of children aged younger than 15 years in South East Queensland.
2.3 VISITATION TO THE REGION
2.3.1 BRISBANE
visitation to the Brisbane region has increased on average 3.6% per annum since 2006. Of the five million visitors to Brisbane, most (82%) are Austra-lians and 18% are international. In addition, there were 10 million day trips to Brisbane in 2009. Un-like many capital cities, the majority of visitors were visiting friends and relatives (38%), followed by those on a holiday (33%). Business visitors repre-sented approximately 20% of the market. Brisbane is an emerging tourism destination, but an estab-lished tourism gateway.
Of the domestic overnight visitors with growth potential, the two segments that have shown the most growth in the past two years are: parents with their youngest child under 14 years (1,675,000 - up
5.5% per annum) and older non working visitors – 65+ (up 1% per annum). Another growth op-portunity is international visitors to Brisbane who engaged in a tourist train experience during their stay in Australia. In 2009, this segment grew from 13% of the market to 14% (or 130,000 visitors).
2.3.2 IPSWICH
In 2009, Ipswich received 945,000 visitors - 6% of all visitors to Brisbane. visitors to Ipswich are predominantly on day trips (79%), followed by domestic overnight visitors (20%) and international overnight visitors (1%).
The average stay was 2.7 nights, slightly shorter than traditional holiday destinations such as Red-lands/North Stradbroke (3.8 nights) and Beaudes-ert/Scenic Rim (4.5 nights) . The majority of day trip visitors (63%) are from Brisbane, travelling for holiday/leisure visitors (43%) or visiting friends or relatives (35%).
In terms of accommodation, most Ipswich visitors stay with family or friends (70%), with only 14% staying in a hotel, motel or motor inn.
2.3.3 THE WORKSHOPS RAIL MUSEUM
The Workshop Rail Museum has grown its market from just 51,000 in 2003 to over 100,000 in 2010. The site received around 11% (or one in 10) visi-tors to Ipswich in 2009. Since its opening in 2002, the site has increased visitation by an average of 14% per annum, essentially doubling the visitation over its seven years of operation.(1)
The majority of visitors are from Brisbane (39%) and Ipswich (32%). Key markets are young fami-lies, therefore visitation is focused around school holidays, with 28% of all visitation in January.
Almost two thirds (64%) of visitors to the Work-shops Rail Museum were visiting for the first time; and the majority of visitors were visiting with their family (77%). The majority of all visitor groups included children (88%). (2)
The majority of visitors were from the Brisbane City Council region (41%), Queensland local (27%), or Queensland regional (27%). (3)

2.4 LOCAL CONTEXT
The rail yards, located only 2km’s from Ipswich CBD, in the predominantly residential commu-nity of North Ipswich, encompasses an area of approximately 17.4 hectres.
The northern boundary abuts the Leda land par-cel, designated as ‘Residential Precinct’ - May 2010. The eastern boundary extends along North Street, currently the only direct street access to the rail yards. The south eastern and south western boundaries abut Leda land holdings, designated for future residential development. The west-ern boundary abuts the Open Space Sub Area, with approximately 530 meters of frontage to the Bremer River.
(ref. Ipswich City Plan, May 2010).

2.6 SITE CONSTRAINTS SUMMARY
A brief summary of site issues and constraints that affect the planning process are outlined below.
2.6.1 EASEMENTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Adaptive reuse of sheds and open space areas are not heavily constrained by easements. Sheds will require individual assessment of current service in-frastructure to determine project specific upgrades.
Substation, access and electrical easements in the northern LEDA parcel are under investigation.

2.6.2 TOPOGRAPHY
90% of the rail yards precinct is relatively flat with an overland flow in a westerly direction to Bremer River. An elevated area exists adjacent to the intersection of W.M. hughes Street and North Street. This elevated area is the location of the Power house.
2.6.4 FLOODING
The Q100 flood line does not effect the rail yards precinct and is located to the west of the study area, on the LEDA land parcel, designated ‘public open space’.
The rail yards precinct was not impacted by the 2011 flood event. (It is noted that Queensland Rail has commenced a flood level investigation study; The Flood height Relativity Study for the Ipswich and Brisbane CBD Gauges).

2.6.3 VEGETATION
Prominent existing mature trees with large canopies can be found in the north eastern corner of the site. Sporadic trees are scattered around the site and while tree planting needs to be cognisant of the ‘industrial’ character and functionality of the Precinct, there are opportunities, particularly along the northern portion of the site, to increase tree planting and shading.
Significant vegetation is addressed by the Conservation Management Plan.

2.6.5 VISTAS AND VIEW CORRIDORS
views of the study area are prominent from the elevated areas of Lawrence Street and W.M. hughes Street. Distinctive roof forms and heritage built form are also visible from North Street.
Currently, river views from the rail yards are com-pletely obstructed by boundary fencing. The tra-verser track corridor presents an east – west view opportunity, through from arrival at the site, to the river.
A network of north – south view corridor opportuni-ties exist along the laneways between buildings, subject to heritage considerations.
2.6.6 LAND MARK ELEMENTS
Key existing landmark elements include; the Ticket Office, Museum, War Memorial, Power house, the traverser track, as well as large established trees.
Opportunities exist to develop additional landmarks, particularly at entry points to the site, to improve legibility and site character.
2.6.7 SITE CONTAMINATION
As a result of over a century of industrial activity at the site, it is known that soil contamination across the rail yards is widespread.
Asbestos contamination is considered to be limited to the post 1930’s structures, abutting North Street (R18, R19 and R20).
Decontamination strategies will need to be ad-dressed in the next stage of site planning and development. (Please note that at the time of com-
piling this report, no information has been made available regarding the extent of contamination.)
Decontamination and bulk earthworks are being udertaken along the riverside park precinct.

2. SITE ANALYSIS
2.7 MOVEMENT AND ACCESS
The rail yards has good potential to be well inte-grated into the broader movement network and to offer a range of access opportunities to site users. It is important to note that public transport (bus, train and ferry) needs to be the major area of focus for site access.
2.7.1 ROADS AND BUSWAY ACCESS
There is strong bus, cycle and road connections to CBD, via Pine Street, Downs Street and north-erly linkages via Delacy/ Tantivity Road and Pine Mountain Road. Opportunities exist to reinforce bus access to the rail yards by providing improved bus stops/undercover areas and a more frequent service.
A future road link from W.M hughes Street, along the western boundary of the rail yards will greatly improve access to the Bremer River parklands, as well as providing improved access to the north-ern and western areas of the rail yards, subject to agreement with adjoining land owners.
2.7.2 RAIL ACCESS
There is an existing Brisbane – Ipswich line, with a non-electrified connection to the rail yards, approx-imately 300m to the west of Ipswich Station (CBD). Currently, a direct line between Ipswich Station and the rail yards is not in place but would be of benefit to the rail yards and is considered a desir-able addition to the existing rail alignment.
Improved rail access to the site, with potential for an operational ‘station stop’ at the rail yards and the inclusion of a turntable, can address both the growing demand for steam train tourism experienc-es as well as conventional rail access as a means of reducing dependancy on car access to the rail yards. Relocation of the existing turntable near Ipswich Rail Station should be considered, subject to heritage Council approval.
2.7.3 PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE MOVEMENT
The opportunity exists to extend the existing pedestrian/cycle network through the rail yards site, to Bremer River parkland and along the park-
land, connecting with existing paths along W.M hughes Street to the north, along a future pedes-trian river crossing to Woodend (Canning Street to hume Street), to the west and to Ipswich CBD to the south.
2.7.4 PARKING
Currently, 225 car parking spaces are provided at the rail yards. On street parking is also utilised along North Street. Additional development at the rail yards increases parking demand and approxi-mately 600 – 700 additional parking spaces can be provided, without substantially impacting on the quality of the public realm. ‘Park and ride’ opportu-nities close to public transport need to be investi-gated.
2.7.5 FERRY
The provision of a ferry link from Ipswich CBD to the rail yards site should be investigated as a key component of the Bremer River upgrade. This would provide visitors with a unique experience and would assist in activating the parklands and integrating with an alternative entry point to the rail yards site, from the parkland interface.
2.7.6 LIGHT RAIL
The concept of a light rail connection to Ipswich CBD and surrounds, is considered a highly desir-able addition to public transport opportunities for this region. At the time of compiling this report, no concept plans for the possible alignment of a light rail system were available for discussion purposes.
2.7.7 BUS RAPID TRANSIT
Rapid transit bus services offer a convenient option for improving access to the rail yards, from Ipswich CBD and other alternative sites. Bus stops and shelters along North Street should be incorporated an integral component of future North Street up-grades/street improvement programmes.
