Walking
(1.9km from Victoria Bridge - 23mins)
 |
The new Alliance is at a reasonable walking distance from the city. Indeed it takes just over 20mins to walk from Victoria Bridge to the 262 Montague Road (1.9km). The shortest way is to walk on Melbourne Street, then cross Boundary Street to take Mollison Street, then turn left to Bank Street and right to Jane street, and straight to Montague Road. The Alliance will be on the left side of the road, at the corner of Jane Street and Montague Road.

| Great news! A new bridge for pedestrians and bikes has been opened on Saturday 3rd of October 2009. The Kurilpa Bridge now links Kurilpa Point in South Brisbane, to Tank Street in Brisbane CBD. |

Where are the nearest parking places?
Because the close proximity to the city, new Alliance Française will still be within the Brisbane Central Traffic Area and so on-street parking restriction must be observed. However, because we will no longer be in the heart of the city, there are great possibilities for finding cheaper and even free parking.
 |
The pink zone is the Brisbane Central Traffic Area where you can park for a maximum of two hours on unsigned streets unless there are parking meters or signs showing otherwise. The two hour limit applies at these times:
- Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm
- Saturday 7am to 12 midday
There is only a 5 minute walk to the area shown in white which indicates the unrestricted area where you can park for free unless there are meters or signs showing otherwise. |
What does this mean for me?
If you are attending daytime classes, you can park for free for two hours in unsigned spaces in the pink zone. There are also many metered spaces are available at $1 for 2¾ hours or $2 for 5½ hours. There are, of course, many more free spaces in the white zone.
If you are attending the evening classes, parking in the pink zone is free from 6pm. In the unsigned spaces, this effectively means free parking from 4pm. At worst, this means that you will be able to park in the many metered spaces from 3:15pm for only $1.
For more information about parking zones, go to the BCC website.
