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.

THE FORCES THAT SHAPE US

The Draft Brisbane City Centre Master Plan 2013 sets the vision and strategic framework to guide a generation of growth in our urban heart. This plan reinforces the city centre as the showcase for the best of everything Brisbane has to offer.

To compete in a competitive global market, cities need to take advantage of distinct attributes and establish a unique identity. Brisbane has a coveted subtropical climate, a handsome river that meanders through our heart, and a robust economy fuelled by natural resources, skilled workers and strong links to Asia.

We can harness economic opportunities to create buildings, places and spaces that celebrate our pleasant climate and natural assets. Pairing economic opportunity with a fantastic lifestyle will ensure Brisbane attracts a talented workforce and sustains our prosperity into the future.

Context sets the scale and direction of future opportunities. This section of the master plan explores our economic and natural context and identifies the opportunities for our city centre to realise its truly great potential.

8 A SUBTROPICAL CITY

It’s our inviting subtropical climate and relaxed, outdoor lifestyle that sets Brisbane apart as Australia’s New World City. Mild winters and brilliant summers have shaped our city’s distinctive character. Tree-lined streets, riverfront parks, urban plazas, al fresco eating areas, well-used verandahs and balconies are all part of our way of life.

Water, openness and a love of space are reflected in our architecture and the design of our public spaces. Nowhere is this more important than in the city centre, the economic and cultural heart of Queensland and our shop front to the world. Here buildings, public spaces, parks, gardens and event venues are the physical expression of who we are and what we aspire to. Fine examples of modern architecture such as the internationally-acclaimed Gallery of Modern Art and Kurilpa Bridge, and outdoor settings such as King George Square, South Bank and Riverstage are all part of the visual mix that defines our cultural identity and reflects our confidence as a New World City. A city’s lifestyle plays an essential role in creating a place where people want to live, work, play and visit. While people move to new cities for work, their decision to stay comes down to lifestyle. To attract and retain the most talented minds, we must position Brisbane as a destination of choice within the regional, national and global economies. Our success depends upon nurturing this high-quality lifestyle by investing in our city’s cultural and recreational strengths.

BUILDINGS THAT BREATHE

We are a city of urban verandahs, where the landscape itself is a building material. Open and inviting, the walls of our buildings fold away to blur the line between indoor and out. Our buildings respond to the climate, capturing cooling breezes and natural light, while providing abundant shade and protection.

IN OUR CITY BUILDINGS WILL BE BEAUTIFUL.

This will be delivered through the following sub-strategies:

A3.1 A city form that breathes

A3.2 A growing skyline

DRAFT BRISBANE CITY CENTRE MASTER PLAN 2013 49 A3.1 A CITY FORM THAT ‘BREATHES’ 50 The city and its buildings will embody our indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Within the close-knit street grid at the core, new buildings will frame and activate the public realm. They will provide lively shop fronts, widened footpaths and arcades, all contributing to a dynamic urban life. Above street level, modern towers will each contribute to the city’s distinctive skyline and provide elevated outdoor spaces. As we move to the edges of the city centre there will be more space and landscape between buildings, with subtropical towers in a riverside garden setting providing views to the river and beyond.

WHERE PEOPLE CONNECT The city centre is a place for people and business to connect, and easy access is essential. The transport network is simple to use and moves people and goods to, from and within our city centre smoothly. Buses and trains glide through the city and the streets are bustling with people. Grand gateways celebrate arrival into the capital and the river connects it with surrounding neighbourhoods, making the everyday commute a memorable experience.

OUR CITY CENTRE IS A SPECIAL PLACE WHERE PEOPLE MOVE FREELY.

This will be delivered through the following sub-strategies:

In 2031, almost half the trips to the city centre will be from inner-city neighbourhoods. Better connecting these neighbourhoods to the city with easy to use transit networks will be vital for economic growth and inner-city lifestyles.

More than 250,000 people arrive in our city centre per day, and this number will grow significantly. The streets at the heart of our city will be upgraded to balance the movement of vehicles with the growing needs of pedestrians and businesses. Smart management of city streets and allocation of kerbside space will reflect the changing needs of the city at different times of the day and week.

A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH

Council’s Ideas Fiesta in April 2013 encouraged the Brisbane community to explore the future of their city centre through a three-week program of events across the CBD, supported by online channels. The fiesta aimed to evoke discussion and excitement about Brisbane’s future and to invite the community to participate in shaping their city centre. The passion and talent of Brisbane’s design, development, business, education and creative communities was harnessed to offer a diverse range of experiences including workshops, forums, community events and the showcasing of transformative ideas. The Ideas Fiesta provided a platform for the exchange of ideas in a collaborative, fun and open way. Ideas and feedback received have influenced the directions of the master plan and helped Council identify priorities for future delivery.

A NEW DIRECTION

The process of driving and facilitating change requires that the strategies outlined in Part A of this master plan are transformed into clear and singular directions. To assist in bridging the gap between strategic thinking and the realisation of investment on the ground, this component of the plan sets out 10 ‘city-making moves’. These ‘moves’ draw together the key elements of every strategy into clear, concise, and coordinated areas of action and form the underlying framework for making decisions about the priorities for investment in our city centre.

Private sector Brisbane City Council 2013 SHORT TERM 2018 MEDIUM TERM LONG TERM 2033 Queensland/Australian Government 5 YEAR PLAN (Timeframes are indicative and subject to change) IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Actions speak louder than words. The 2006 170 master plan was the catalyst for the delivery of a suite of projects that have stimulated a period of ongoing change and transformation in our city centre. These changes have been fundamental in attracting investment, facilitating private sector growth and moving towards a thriving and unique urban heart. While we have achieved a great deal since 2006, there is still a lot of work to do to realise our immense potential. Our city centre has grown and matured – and so have our ambitions.

This Draft Brisbane City Centre Master Plan 2013 has been prepared to help build on past successes and to take the next step towards our aspirational vision for a city that is OPEN in every sense.

Establishing clear short-term priorities for the implementation of this master plan will be essential to its success. Effective delivery requires a collaborative approach between the public and private sectors. Clarity around the priority

A CALL TO ACTION projects and initiatives will assist in coordinating and catalysing private sector developments and investments.

The five-year implementation plan outlined on the following pages identifies:

• priority projects for short-term delivery to unlock and realise the potential of our city centre

• supporting projects and ongoing initiatives to facilitate investment in the city centre.
