    Fantastic, great design. Love everything about the buildings amenities and attractions. Hope all those elements are allowed particularly the river water show. There are also great green spaces and places for all the public. However I think that a cover over the HWY would contain the noise of the cars and trucks and make the area more enjoyable.

    What a fantastic addition to the North Bank of Brisbane. I agree with Anthony that this proposal is the better of the two. I would very much like to see this become a reality.

    Wow much better then the other proposal. You get everything in Crowns/Greenland and so much more. I like it except they should not touch the Commiserate store and leave it as the convict museum it is now.
