who do you think will pay for the infrastructure ?
Brisbanites will, in the next few years. This means that Brisbane is less attractive for people to live in as council charges will go up. On top of that, all the road works will cause TREMENDOUS traffic jams and crap all around.
This is not good news, it's terrible news : Basically they are now starting what they should have done 15 years ago. I see more people moving out of Brisbane because of this bad news.

Well she should be smarter than to try to sell in a slump.
Do you HONESTLY think that improving roads and amenities is going to make brisbane worse in the long term?
Yes. I do. And believe me I have seen it all before. More roads = more congestion.
If they decided to build a SUBWAY, the only REAL problem solver, then I'd say wow... good decision. But Brisbane has historically always chosen roads above mass-transit, and I expect them to do no different.
It will lead to 4-5 years of traffic congestion at least while construction is up. When it's done, people will have more cars, and the problem will be worse.
The *ONLY* way to solve congestion in any city as big as brisbane is to have a mass transit, just like Paris / London / Chicago / New york etc... Just like any city basically.
So to answer your question : Yes, I truly believe that these 'infrastructure changes' will make the traffic worse.
Man just look at what the new freeway did in Sydney. It just allowed more cars to stack up on eachother.
Brisbane will be Australia's biggest carpark, *UNLESS* they *FINALLY* decide to build a Tube / Subway / Elevated train. They should actually use the current roads , break them up , and make mass-transit on those.
And not limit it to the CBD , but all the way to Redcliffe / Ipswich / Beenleigh.
Can you see the scope of the problem that Brisbane has ?
So is the slow down right across Brisbane then and the demand for rental still strong??
