In and around the Transurban office in Kedron
Transurban’s Brisbane traffic control centre is located in the suburb of Kedron (you can find it on Google Maps), and there’s a whole office next to it that you can work out of.
So after getting a bus tour of our Brisbane road assets (photos in the next post), that’s the office I worked out of for a few hours. And we went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
This office is literally an eight minute drive from Brisbane Airport, so it was a super convenient place to hang out before our late afternoon flight back to Melbourne.
Christmas lights at the Transurban Brisbane traffic control room
Photo of multicoloured string lights strung in rows in front of a large window that looks into a motorway traffic control room. The control room has a massive bank of screens set along the back wall. All the screens are showing traffic from CCTV cameras around the road network. In the foreground are several workstations at which traffic control room officers do their work.
Snack table at the traffic control room

In the foreground is a small table on which there is a bowl of fruit with a mesh cover, a couple of baked-goods plastic containers, and a bucket with leftover Halloween candy.

Snack table and Christmas tree at the traffic control room
Photo looking at a corner of an office with multicoloured string lights hanging down from a large interior window. In front of these windows is a plastic Christmas tree that has been decorated. There are several small presents lying underneath this tree. Closer to the photographer is a small table with snacks and a fruit bowl placed on it.

Pink and purple flowers (no idea what they’re called!)
