  • Referral of Proposed Action

    Referral of Proposed Action

    Referral of proposed action Project title: Cross River Rail 1 Summary of proposed action 1.1 Short description The Cross River Rail project is a proposed new 10.2 kilometre rail link in Brisbane connecting Dutton Park in the south to Bowen Hills in the north. The project will include 5.9 kilometres of twin rail tunnels (one track in each direction) under Brisbane’s inner city and new underground rail stations at Albert Street and Roma Street (in the Brisbane CBD), Woolloongabba, Boggo Road and a new surface station at the Exhibition showgrounds. Upgrades and enhancements to parts of the existing rail network will be delivered where these interface with the project and to support Cross River Rail operations. READING NOTE: The Cross River Rail project has previously (2010) been referred to the then Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and Arts under reference number 2010/5427. The project was determined to be ‘not a controlled action - if undertaken in a particular manner’. Further planning and design has been undertaken since the original Cross River Rail concept was referred. This has resulted in a modified project of a smaller scale with reduced potential impacts and enhanced affordability. This referral has been prepared as a new referral based on key changes to the project resulting from further planning and design. The referral has been prepared as a stand-alone document that can be assessed without having to reference the previous referral. While the Cross River Rail proponent does not consider the proposed action likely to have a significant impact on a matter protected under the EPBC Act, this referral has also been prepared in light of the CRR 2010 EPBC decision including a number of particular manner conditions that require reassessment.

The City Reach Waterfront is one of Brisbane’s iconic riverside locations – bookended by the City Botanic Gardens and Howard Smith Wharves. The area is a popular leisure destination and is one of the city's key economic precincts, known for its concentration of high-value professional services and picturesque riverside dining. The City Reach Waterfront Master Plan (the master plan) is an action from the Brisbane City Centre Master Plan 2014 that establishes an ambitious vision for the waterfront. Achieving the vision of the master plan will take time and will require a collaborative approach between stakeholders, including Council, the Queensland Government and landholders. Council welcomes the opportunity to work with precinct stakeholders to deliver on the master plan’s vision. Community consultation The master plan is based on extensive technical investigations and community consultation. The draft master plan was released for public consultation in late 2019 and Council received more than 400 submissions.

The City Reach Waterfront Master Plan is an action from the Brisbane City Centre Master Plan 2014, and establishes a vision that will inform future development and public works in the waterfront area. The City Reach Waterfront is one of Brisbane’s iconic riverside locations – bookended by the City Botanic Gardens and Howard Smith Wharves. The area is a popular leisure destination and one of the city's key economic precincts. The draft master plan is based on feedback received from residents, property owners, businesses, commuters and visitors who completed the master plan survey in late 2018, as well as responses to the Move Safe Brisbane consultation. In addition, research into international waterfront examples has provided a set of key qualities to ensure future development will transform the City Reach Waterfront into a New World City riverside destination. The master plan will be a non-statutory document that complements Brisbane’s planning scheme (Brisbane City Plan 2014).

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.
