Redress · January 22nd, 2010, 02:08 PM

Has anyone ever bothered to think that it will look a lot better once this project is finished?

kp_22 · January 23rd, 2010, 02:37 AM

how will the BCEC Expansion affect the appearance of the train station. two unrelated buildings. Perhaps (hopefully) once the Expansion is finished Southbank corporation or QR might consider some how creating a better flow between the two buildings. as far as i know there aren't any plans for that.

PS when is the expected completion date for this one we looking at sometime 2011?

They are planning to upgrade the station. Im guessing the parking out fron will be replaced with pavers and become a kind of square.

Redress, the BCEC project doesnt have anything to do with South Brisbane train station, if like what 0_128 is correct and they are going to pave the area out front, then that is a very small step, but the whole station needs to be redeveloped not just some pavers.

0_128, where did you hear that they were going to upgrade the station?

Pretty much. Every year QR upgrade a bunch of stations and those are the next in line for refurbishment.

Central won't be upgraded for quite sometime...
You may see some small 'improvements' like better air circulation etc, but a full upgrade won't take place for a while.

I think they're holding off on Central because they're hoping someone will take some interest in building over the open space on the corner of Creek & Ann.

And also because they maybe waiting for the cross river rail link plans to finalise where connections (if any) are going to be made at central.

Thanks Paul,

Gee, that really is a HUGE site. It makes Rydges look small.

Some photos I took from my mobile on the 14th:

Thought it looked pretty cool view level with the cranes themselves.

***BrizzyChris*** · February 25th, 2010, 02:25 PM

Does anyone know if this includes an upgrade of South Brisbane station at all?

If it does, which I highly doubt, it'd only involve that mysterious ramp up to the southern end of the station. They might create some sort of a linkage between the centre and the station this way, which could be useful. Despite being back to back, the pre-expansion Convention Centre has terrible PT integration.

it's hard to say because of southbank's planning process
does anyone know if southbank DA's go on public scrutinity anywhere??
