Council reveals Brisbane development plans
By 7News
Brisbane suburbs such as Indooroopilly, Chermside and Upper Mount Gravatt will become mini-cities to help cope with the population boom over the next 20 years.
But Brisbane City Council has ruled out 20-storey apartment buildings unless the communities agree.
The evidence of Brisbane's growing pains is everywhere: drilling started on the northern end of the North-South bypass tunnel this morning.
"This work today really shows how we're getting on with the job," Brisbane Lord Mayor Campbell Newman said.
But drastic changes are about to happen above-ground, too. The city's population will increase by 200,000 in the next 20 years and 145,000 new dwellings are needed.
Brisbane will run out of land in 10 years, so today officials were asked where the houses would be built.
"Close to jobs, close to shops, close to trains and bus stops, as well as those old industrial sites that need to be recycled," Brisbane City Council planning chairman David Hinchliffe said.
Council today released its draft growth plan, which will be open for public comment for two months.
It targets shopping areas including Carindale, Chermside, Fortitude Valley, Indooroopilly and Upper Mount Gravatt for big developments.
Mitchelton, Toombul and Toowong would receive slightly less, but still significant attention.
The Lord Mayor said they would not become skyscraper satellite cities.
"I cannot believe there will be 20-storey building in the leafy suburbs of Brisbane," he said. "There will, however, be buildings higher than 10 storeys."
Ugly industrial sites will also be developed.
Areas earmarked, for urban renewal, include Albion, Boggo Road, Bowen Hills, Bulimba, Everton Park, Milton, South Bank, RNA showgrounds, Tennyson Power Station and Woolloongabba.
Fortitude Valley may get 20 or 30-storey buildings, but it will be the only one. In 20 years, council wants it to be an extension of the CBD.
Other bit of info for those wanting accountants/tax agents up here is that a client of ours was told by a Chan and Naylor rep this morning that they will be opening up a branch in Brisvegas sometime around July.
hope all this helps!!
cheers
