City Vision
A thriving inner-city, with all parts of its social, cultural and economic eco-system working together to deliver benefits for the city and state.
A thriving capital city is vital for a thriving state. An intentional focus on the city centre is required to better understand the challenges and opportunities facing individual sectors of the city’s eco-system, and to leverage cross-sector networks to deliver improved outcomes for the city.
Additionally, given the 2032 Games foreshadow the importance of inner-Brisbane for the Games, there is a heightened need to ensure the ongoing sustainability and growth of the city centre.
While inner-Brisbane is the primary focus, policy changes, ideas, innovations and partnerships created through this work may be translated to other urban centres across Greater Brisbane.
Games Legacy and Growth
A future-ready city region, with physical and digital infrastructure delivered in advance of anticipated growth.
While already accustomed to population growth, Greater Brisbane is experiencing an unprecedented wave of interstate and international migration that goes beyond previous predictions.
Maintaining the liveability of the city region- for both existing and future residents- is vital. Getting ahead of the infrastructure required to maintain the liveability of the region will require considered planning and investment, and a careful prioritisation of major projects.
Key regional documents, such as the SEQ City Deal and SEQ Regional Plan, along with the 2032 Games plans and Committee for Brisbane’s 2033 Legacy Plan, provide a foundation for advocacy on where and how decisions should be made.
Transport, Logistics and Mobility
People and goods can move easily and efficiently around our city region, utilising a range of different modes of movement.
To maintain its liveability, Greater Brisbane must invest in the people and freight movement infrastructure required to service a city region of more than six million people.
Moving beyond individual transport solutions or pre-determined mode preferences, a data-backed view of the current and future obstacles facing Greater Brisbane is required to identify where and how future transport solutions should be delivered.
From digital solutions and last mile connections, through to freight and people being moved by land, sea or sky, a holistic public and private approach is required to ensure a future-fit solution.
#BIG – Brisbane Idea Generators
Greater Brisbane’s future leaders (25-40 year olds) work together to give back to the city region in which they are so proud to live, work and play.
As an emerging city, Greater Brisbane abounds with opportunities for successive generations to help shape the places and spaces in which they live.
The promise of the 2032 Games is bringing out an immense pride in the city’s residents, many of whom are seeking an avenue by which to make a difference and give back to their community.
Through a focus on ‘place-based’ outcomes, there is an opportunity to harness the energy and talent of the city’s young professionals to help reimagine and highlight the untapped potential of underutilised precincts across the city region.
