Roma Street Precinct Opportunity

The significant improvement in transport connectivity and revitalisation of the Roma Street precinct made possible with Cross River Rail, will generate opportunities for urban renewal and enhancement of public spaces in the area.

The Roma Street precinct is the western gateway to the city centre, combining a regional transport function with an expanded commercial, retail and leisure offer to create an attractive destination for business and visitors. The precinct boasts outstanding connectivity, a vibrant public realm and exemplary subtropical architecture.

A Transit-Enabled future

The new second rail path through the core of the South East Queensland rail network will not only deliver five new train stations in convenient locations, the rail corridor also links Brisbane’s two major hospitals and multiple precinct intiatives including Herston Quarter at Exhibition, the Gabba Entertainment Precinct at Woolloongabba, and the Boggo Road Innovation Junction (BRIJ) at Boggo Road.

In total, construction of the new underground line is releasing nearly 7 hectares of prime inner-CBD land, including large scale development opportunities at Roma Street and Albert Street.

Precinct Connectivity

Roma Street will become Brisbane’s ‘Grand Central’ with the addition of the Cross River Rail underground station connecting passengers to the existing suburban bus and rail networks, the Brisbane Metro, as well as regional and interstate bus and train services.

The station precinct will become Brisbane’s key arrival destination for the State’s premier cultural, tourism and entertainment offerings, and expand the western gateway to the CBD.

Roma Street is set to become our State’s busiest transport interchange with over 46,000 commuters expected to use the station every weekday by 2036.

The vision for the precinct is to create a lively inner-city hub, deliver more homes and commercial space and revolutionise the arrival experience to Brisbane.
