Nine new train stations, residential growth areas and a $450 million interchange next to the Gabba Olympic Stadium are south-east Queensland’s top priorities, according to the city deal inked on Monday.
All levels of government signed off on the $1.8-billion infrastructure pact to increase the liveability and connectability of the region as its population booms.
Rail connectivity was a major component of the plans with the $450-million Brisbane Metro Woolloongabba Station at the heart of the city deal.
This will create an interchange between the Brisbane Metro bus system and the Cross River Rail lines alongside the new billion-dollar Brisbane 2032 Olympic Stadium.
