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 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).

Urban life in Australian cities has been physically structured around the private motor vehicle, and transport policies have historically focused on the public funding of large-scale public roadways. There is no better example of this approach to transport planning than in Southeast Queensland, where government departments associated with responsibilities for road infrastructure have traditionally wielded enormous power, and have repeatedly attempted to impose large-scale technological solutions for transport problems without regard for their wider impacts on urban life. Despite an emerging awareness of the need to reduce carbon emissions by establishing alternative models of urban mobility, local authorities in Brisbane have recently followed in this well- established tradition by embarking on an ambitious expansion of river crossings and underground road tunnels as a way to increase the capacity of private vehicular flows through the inner city. This article is an exploration of the philosophical framework driving these political decisions and their inevitable imposition of new spatio-temporal laws on Brisbanes inhabitants.

  • Temporary Riverside Expressway Closure This Weekend
    16 June 2021 Media release First section of new CBD bridge in place – temporary Riverside Expressway closure this weekend Brisbane’s newest bridge in more than 10 years is now reaching towards the CBD from South Bank with a section of deck installed over the Clem Jones Promenade. Another 40-metre deck section will be lifted into position this weekend temporarily closing part of the Riverside Expressway to all traffic in both directions from 10pm Friday 18 June until 5am Monday 21 June. Destination Brisbane Consortium Project Director Simon Crooks said these are major critical works that would build a new lasting asset for the residents of Queensland. “This week is the start of works to assemble the 13 sections of bridge decking that make up the 320- metre span of Brisbane’s new Neville Bonner Bridge,” Mr Crooks said. “We’ve safely installed the first section of the pedestrian bridge at South Bank that will connect Brisbane’s busiest entertainment precinct to the restaurant and retail level of Queensland’s newest entertainment and tourism drawcard. “However, this coming weekend for safety reasons, we must temporarily close the Riverside Expressway to all traffic between Elizabeth Street and Margaret Street from 10pm Friday 18 June until 5am Monday 21 June. “We have been working and planning this weekend’s lift for more than 18 months with BCC and the Queensland Government to ensure minimum disruption to motorists. “This weekend was chosen as there are no major sporting events or other significant transport closures planned that may impact on increased traffic through the area.
