New street/road connecting Skyring Terrace, Teneriffe to Breakfast Creek Road. First part of the Newstead Riverpark development to be opened, coinciding with the launch of the Cityglider high frequency bus service linking Teneriffe to the City and West End. Only 500m long but conspicuously multi-modal, allocating space for driving, cycling, parking, walking and public transport. Will provide local access to the Riverpark developments, as well as a new option for getting between New Farm and the north.

Good for jogging while there's still not much traffic.
When is a street not a street?
When it’s a road.
New streets in existing areas are rare as the urban koala. So we want to make the most of them, right? Celebrate and embellish, Grey Street style?
Without the framing of urban-scale buildings and mature trees (e.g. Teneriffe next door) the new stretch of Skyring Terrace feels and behaves like a suburban road. It’s open and broad and the sweeping curve halfway along, complete with concrete median, is designed for driving. Right now it’s nothing more than a New Farm shortcut.
But it has lots of street potential. Great streets and great neighbourhoods evolve. Building the “dream street” on day one is, like the “dream home” for first-time buyers, not a sensible notion. Skyring Terrace may not be much of a street yet, but in around ten years, it probably will be.
