Brisbane City Council unveils vision for CBD in 2033 A redeveloped Howard Smith Wharves site. IT IS a glimpse of a city of the future - our city. Brisbane City Council this week unveiled its vision of how the city centre will look in 20 years' time as it tries to balance massive growth with liveability. It envisages a skyline punctuated by 50 extra office blocks providing work for another 130,000 people, who will be whisked into the CBD on an efficient public transport system using a network of underground busway and rail lines. A new pedestrian bridge between Kangaroo Point and the city will help cope with an anticipated doubling of foot traffic. A vision of a future Kangaroo Point bridge. Once in the CBD, pedestrians will be able to stroll through a "green spine" as Albert St is transformed into a leafy subtropical boulevard linking the Botanic Gardens with King George Square and Roma Street Parkland. Albert St, in the heart of the city, is one of six priority projects highlighted in the blueprint for the continuing development of "Australia's New World City." Other projects are: A concept for Queens Wharf under the Brisbane city master plan. ● Queens Wharf and William St precinct: A lively riverside precinct, possibly featuring entertainment venues in heritage buildings. ● Edward St: Upmarket retail precinct. ● Howard Smith Wharves: Public open space and mixed-use development, with possibly a boutique hotel. Albert St is transformed into a leafy subtropical boulevard. ● Kangaroo Point Bridge: A new river crossing for pedestrians and cyclists. ● City Gliders: Expansion of the bus network. The plan includes Cross River Rail and a further undergrounding of buses. Future retail precinct in Edward St. The draft plan is available for viewing on council's website.
