Is Woolloongabba going to become Brisbane's second CBD? Hot off the heels of the recent announcement that The Gabba’s demolition and reconstruction project has been fully funded, the Queensland Government has recently announced an expansion of the Woolloongabba PDA, which will see more housing, shopping, dining precincts and public space developed. This will include social and affordable housing as well as active gravel corridors to South Bank and the CBD. This will make Woolloongabba one of the biggest urban renewals in Brisbane’s history, when you take into account the already under construction Cross River Rail and Brisbane Metro stations just across Main Street. According to the Queensland Government, Expanding the existing PDA will see a more integrated and coordinated planning approach for the whole suburb and allow for resolving complex planning and development matters that unlock value for the surrounding communities.This project is set to transform the suburb, making it a hub of cultural, sporting, and community activity. The Woolloongabba renewal project is a major development initiative aimed at improving the area's liveability, economic potential, and social fabric. The Gabba Stadium, home of the Brisbane Lions AFL team and the Queensland Bulls cricket team, will be upgraded and expanded to accommodate more fans, female athletes, more accessible entryways and public concourses, with a new public plaza and pedestrian bridge linking it to Rail and Metro Stations. We’re going to take a closer look at the Woolloongabba renewal plans to see what it will actually mean for the residents and visitors to Brisbane. I’d love to know what you all think of the plans in the comment section, or hit me up on my socials down below. Today, we’re talking tactics.
