The building often cited as one of Brisbane’s ugliest – the Brisbane Transit Centre – will be demolished to make way for Cross River Rail’s new underground Roma Street Station and the proposed Brisbane Live development.
With an 18,000 capacity world-class arena as its centrepiece, the Roma Street precinct, just like the LA Live complex, would become Queensland’s premier entertainment venue hosting major live concerts and world-class sporting events right in the heart of the city.
Planning for Brisbane Live is progressing with the Business Case for this market-led proposal underway.
When complete the new station is expected to be used by more than 230,000 commuters every week, the equivalent of over four capacity crowds at Suncorp Stadium.
With the addition of a new high-capacity underground station, Roma Street will become our State’s most significant transport interchange and Brisbane’s ‘Grand Central’, connecting passengers with the existing suburban bus and rail networks, as well as regional and interstate bus and train services.
