Take a look at what is coming…
Click on this link to see images and a video of the proposed “Super City”
It was announced last night. They promise more jobs, more tourists and it is going to be world-class.
So what do you think? Will it entice you to come here?
Don’t forget the beautiful Gold Coast is only 100 kilometres south and we are hosting the 2018 Commonwealth Games. It is going to be an exciting future…

Glitz and glamour and big money. Easier to sell than nature? It seems to be. 😦 But it’s a city so I guess cutting edge is where it’s at. I don’t know Brisbane so not best set to judge.

I guess on the world stage they have to keep up to attract the tourists. It will be a photo op though when it is built.

Unless they introduce a few snakes, some dingoes and nice birds I don’t think I’ll be enticed to go there, Pauline. And it’s huge! 😉

Totally horrible. All the glitz and artificiality of an airport, And I was just beginning to think Brisbane was a city on a human scale.

I think you have hit the nail on the head. Hopefully they will integrate lots of green space too…

I guess some people will be more tempted…but I would like to go anyway. I do not need anything like this.

I’m thinking there will be lots of photo ops, that would be the only thing that would draw me in.

I absolutely hate gambling. I see shopping, sport and hotels, no first nation culture or any other except an amphitheatre that they don’t seem to mention a use for. A bit sad really.

There may be a sculpture or art work to give a token nod to the Aboriginals and I’m hoping they plan gardens and green space along the River. Should be interesting photographically, but it won’t draw me inside the Casino or the “high-end” shops.

Not my cup of tea either, Pauline. I’m sure it will bring in the tourists and the bucks though.

I think the council are already spending the money they are hoping for!!!

Pauline I am afraid this doesn’t get the thumbs up from me.. I dislike gambling and although I enjoy fine architecture Sky scrappers are not my kind of building either.. So it wouldn’t be attracting me.. It looks like they are trying to create a Las Vegas type of place .:-(

Yes I think they are trying to out do Las Vegas. I can’t even imagine how much it will be to stay at those 6 star apartments!!! Not for me either. I only hope they integrate plenty of gardens and green space.

I’m not a fan of casinos or gambling – too many people lose too much money and lives are wrecked and I’m not a fan of large developments like this so I guess it won’t entice me to Brisbane! Maybe it will attract Australians, but I think there are enough places like this in the rest of the world. Are you in favour?

No not my sort of place either Jude, but it seems to be the sort of development that the “rich people” (who ever they are) seem to want…
