City of Logan Division 9 Councillor Scott Bannan opening the new Jimboomba Safe Crossing.
A new safe crossing of busy Mount Lindesay Highway is the first step in Logan City Council’s $2 million upgrade of the Jimboomba Town Centre.
The new crossing links Ann Street on the eastern side of the highway with Cusack Lane and the Town Centre on the western side.
The Jimboomba Safe Crossing utilises the former Beaudesert railway underpass which has been revitalised with pathway decking, railings, lighting and safety cameras.
The opening of the Safe Crossing is an outcome from the 2019 Council-run Jimboomba Summit.
Economic Development Chair, Deputy Mayor Jon Raven said the Safe Crossing was a much-needed boost for Jimboomba.

City of Logan Councillors Natalie Willcocks and Jon Raven at the new
koala conservation reserve in Greenbank.
City of Logan has strengthened its reputation as a green and sustainable city by acquiring a key parcel of koala habitat for conservation.
A 212-hectare property at Greenbank was chosen for its high ecological value and importance to the health of the Oxley Creek catchment.
It adjoins Cockatiel Park and Platypus Reserve and is close to Spring Mountain Forest Park, Spring Mountain Reserve and the White Rock-Spring Mountain Conservation Estate in Ipswich.
A small tributary to Oxley Creek runs through the property.
Environment Chair, Deputy Mayor Jon Raven said the purchase of the property would benefit the city for generations to come.
