		The Goodwill Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist bridge in Australia which spans the Brisbane River, linking the South Bank Parklands / Queensland Museum on the southside, to the Gardens Point Campus of the Queensland University of Technology on the northside.
		The Goodwill Bridge was opened on 21 October 2001 and takes its name from the Goodwill Games which were held in Brisbane at the time.
		The bridge was scheduled to be opened by Queen Elizabeth II during her visit for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting summit to be held in Brisbane, but after the postponement of that meeting in the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the bridge was instead opened by Queensland Premier, Peter Beattie.

	Resources - The Goodwill Bridge: can pedestrians reclaim Brisbane? - 08 November 2001
		The Goodwill Bridge, rather hastily named after the sporting event of the same name, had a chequered building history, with crane collapses, cost overruns and the usual debate about the best route to take.
		The crowds gathering on either side of the bridge were allowed to walk over almost an hour before the official opening time because the Premier - who sensibly wears a hat, unlike many of the adult population - could see that the populace where getting rather hot on a delightful Brisbane day.
		At the Goodwill Bridge, 'a proud initiative of Queensland government', children were provided with yellow balloons with the Queensland government logo.

		To encourage civic participation in the design of the new bridge and develop a sense of ownership amongst the local community, a number of Singapore youths will be selected through an `Art Competition’ to work with recognised local artists to develop ideas for artworks and to integrate them into the design of the new bridge.
		Five teams were subsequently short-listed to develop and submit their design proposals for both the promenade and bridge under Stage Two of the Consultancy before a consultant team was selected to develop a final design scheme for the bridge.
