Where the park idea comes from

Brisbane City Council’s precinct renewal strategy has long identified a central park around the station area as part of Woolloongabba’s renewal. The concept predates the latest arena procurement and remains useful context for current planning.

What a strategy does not prove

A strategy can reserve an ambition without funding every parcel or setting a construction date. Readers should distinguish the long-term park concept from land acquisition, an approved design and a committed works program.
