In February 1864 John Petrie appointed Irish engineer Joseph Brady to provide advice and designs for the navigational improvements on the Brisbane and Bremer Rivers between Brisbane and Ipswich.[8] This includes the construction of a training wall at the south-eastern corner of Barrelan Point where the Bremer River flows into the Brisbane River to flow the channel to avoid the built-up of sandbanks.[9][10]
During World War II, the Barellan Point Landing Ground was built on an elevated level site by RAAF Base Amberley. It was also known as the Bremer River Landing Ground and Riverview Landing Ground. Originally built for emergency landings, it was also used by RAAF No 23 Squadron as a training airfield and for their Moth Minor A21-7 operations. It was 3,000 by 200 feet (914 by 61 m) and went from present day Dampier Street to Fifth Avenue. After the war ended, the land reverted to its former use as farm land. A memorial and information board at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Junction Road (27°34′26″S152°50′42″E / 27.57396°S 152.84490°E / -27.57396; 152.84490 (Barellan Point Landing Ground Memorial)) commemorate the landing ground. The memorial was officially unveiled on Friday 26 June 2015 by the Queensland GovernorPaul de Jersey.[11][12][13]
