  • 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.

  • 4. Future Transport Conditions Without the Project
    4. Future transport conditions without the Project This chapter outlines the forecast changes in transport conditions and performance between the base year of 2012 and the future modelled years – 2021 and 2031. 4.1 Modelled transport network and operation assumptions Key assumptions incorporated into the BaT Project Model include growth in public transport fares, parking charges and road tolls, growth in the value of time as well as strategic transport network improvements. Details of these assumptions are contained in section 2.2. The rail, bus and road network infrastructure for future years is based on current TMR and local government project commitments. A full description on key project inclusions and exclusions is shown in section 2.2 but in summary, includes infrastructure projects currently under construction; infrastructure projects programmed in QTRIP; Queensland Rail (Transport Services Contract) funded projects and committed Brisbane City Council strategic road projects. For this assessment, assumptions on key future rail transport projects include: • by 2021, track duplication from Coomera to Helensvale; and rail stabling improvements • by 2031, third track from Kuraby to Loganlea; track duplication from Beerburrum to Landsborough; and Clapham Yard stabling improvements. Other key transport network planning projects within the Brisbane Statistical Division assumed to be completed: • a range of new busways/ transitways by 2021, including the Old Cleveland Road transitway, Gympie Road transitway to Chermside and an extension
