Up to 10,000 people are expected to use the bridge every day.[4] Cyclists will not be permitted to use the bridge.

Outstanding Alumni Awards: QUT: 2024 Alumni Awards Ceremony

Award recipients are recognised at QUT's annual Outstanding Alumni Awards ceremony, and their inspirational stories are shared widely with the broader community.
An AFLW star, Hollywood animator and renowned public affairs journalist are among those recognised at this year’s QUT Outstanding Alumni Awards.
Presented their awards at a ceremony last night, the 16 high achievers have made their mark across various fields, from finance and aged care to First Nations and disability advocacy, sports, and community leadership.
QUT Chancellor Ann Sherry AO welcomed more than 100 guests to the 33rd award ceremony, with recipients attending from as far as San Francisco in America.
"This is a great reminder of what's possible which, as a student, you never know," Ms Sherry said. "You imagine that you can do great things and imagine that you are going to change the world … and then some people just get on and do it in very different ways."
The alumni told the story of a university with its eye on the future, that supports disadvantaged students to succeed through Australia's largest Learning Potential Fund and focuses on work integrated learning opportunities to inspire career ambition.
QUT Vice-Chancellor Professor Margaret Sheil AO said she was both proud and humbled by the calibre of alumni celebrated through the award program.
