In April 2007, a group of concerned residents approached the Rural Environmental Planning Association Inc. (REPA) to establish a Western Brisbane Bypass Action Group (WBBAG).

The aim of WBBAG is to investigate the impact of the Queensland State Government’s study of a proposed Western Brisbane Bypass that could result in a motorway through Brisbane’s leafy western suburbs including Brookfield/Upper Brookfield, Pullenvale and The Gap.

WBBAG also aims to:

• Create awareness of the Western Brisbane Bypass study and proposed routes;
• stay abreast of bypass issues affecting the western and north-western suburbs; and
• lobby local, state and federal governments’ about the location of the bypass.
