A Look into SEQ’s New $1.8bn ‘City Deal’

The Federal, State and City Councils of South East Queensland have signed off on a new $1.8 billion ‘city deal’ which is a mixture of funding for new infrastructure projects as well as new business cases.

The city deal is being jointly funded by all levels of government with $667 million coming from the Commonwealth, $618 million from the state and $501 million from the SEQ Council of Mayors, plus $75 million from industry.

Although some large ticket items are included such as a new interchange hub for the Brisbane Metro and Cross River Rail station at Woolloongabba and Council’s new Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, rail lobby group ‘Rail Back on Track’ has labelled the funding agreement ‘underwhelming’ and noted a lack of funding for SEQ rail projects which receive little to no funding within the ‘City Deal’.

Separately however, the Queensland Government has announced $1.1 billion in funding for more tracks and level crossings removed to support faster, frequent train services between Brisbane and the Gold Coast in the lead up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.

    This is a tiny amount of money and seems to be missing a zero at the end. Supposed to be a SEQ City Deal for $1.8billion (in Australia’s fastest growing area) but then the QLD Gov is separately spending $1.1billion on railway upgrades?

    QLD always seems to get the short end of the deal or never has the big budgets… and it shows in the quality of the built work.

    Political smoke and mirrors. Study after study and most of this has been announced before

    Can someone check the spelling of the the status of the project which is to be completed shortly.
    The word is imminent, not immanent. Check the Macquarie Dictionary for a more exact explanation of this work. It has an association to theology and reference to status of religious leaders.

    I agree with M.

    A budget of 1.8 billion won’t go that far for all these projects.

    Needs at least 3 Billion.
