One place in Brisbane that LRT might make sense.  Connecting high density residential to high density employment in the city frame would help the inner city function better.  And the smaller corridor width that can be achieved by LRT would be easier to thread through.  Just so long as it isn't a mixed traffic street car..

BCC --> Kurilpa Riverfront Renewal

Brisbane City Council and the Queensland Government are working together on the Kurilpa Riverfront Renewal project to facilitate the renewal of prime riverfront industrial land in South Brisbane.

This unique catalyst renewal precinct comprises approximately one kilometre of river frontage and more than 25 hectares of land, presenting a renewal opportunity on a scale not seen by the city since the Teneriffe waterfront revitalisation in the mid to late 1990s.

Master planning of the precinct will aim to optimise the commercial potential of the site and provide developer certainty while delivering significant community benefits. The planning process will be exploring the potential for a mix of high-quality commercial, retail and residential development along with significant new public spaces and enhanced streets.

A key element of the project will be working with key landowners in the precinct to facilitate the staged relocation of existing industry to alternative sites in Brisbane.

The master planning of this precinct was identified as a key initiative in both the South Brisbane Riverside Neighbourhood Plan and the City Centre Master Plan 2014, which have undergone significant community and industry consultation. It also seeks to align with key aspects of the River's Edge Strategy to improve recreational and commercial access to the riverfront.

Developers are having a luncheon where this plan is to be detailed.

Community members are not happy, despite requests to be kept informed as for the developers they were not.
