  • New City Centre Master Plan
    DRAFT BRISBANE CITY CENTRE MASTER PLAN 2013 A VISION FOR OUR OPEN CITY LORD MAYOR’S FOREWORD Brisbane is on the brink of an exciting period of transformation and unprecedented economic opportunity. As Australia’s New World City and gateway to Asia, Brisbane is emerging as a thriving hub for business and innovation. The Draft Brisbane City Centre Master Plan 2013 has been developed to ensure we capitalise on this vast potential and seize today’s opportunities. Brisbane’s economy is predicted to double over the next 20 years, with demand for office, retail, residential and hotel space in the city centre expected to equate to around 50 new towers. Brisbane City Council’s master plan sets the vision for an open city – open for business, an open outdoor lifestyle and a vibrant heart that’s open for all to enjoy. A thriving city centre is vital to Brisbane’s continued prosperity and the quality of life we enjoy. This plan delivers a coordinated strategy to guide future growth and investment in our city centre over the next 20 years, while ensuring a safe and attractive city heart is a continuing source of pride. The plan promotes Brisbane’s continued maturation as an energetic, subtropical city with the public spaces, transport and infrastructure necessary to support the expansion of business and lifestyle precincts. I thank the residents, industry experts and members of the business community who have provided valuable input into this important plan for the future of Australia’s New World City.
