This year’s Budget confirms our commitment to the people of Brisbane, demonstrating what can be achieved when we work together as a community.
A global pandemic and devastating flood have tested our resilience.
Now, we must continue to rebuild and recover, suburb by suburb, street by street, to ensure Brisbane bounces back stronger.
Fortunately, our commitment to strong financial management over the years means we’re able to prioritise our rebuild and recovery, while keeping our Budget unashamedly focused on Brisbane’s suburbs, with a new ‘Suburbs First Guarantee’ ensuring at least 80 per cent of all spending is directed to the suburbs.
Our network of 2,100 parks makes Brisbane a more liveable place and we’ll continue to invest heavily in our city’s green space. One new measure I believe is particularly important is making every playground in Brisbane sun safe, to protect our children from the harsh Queensland sun.
We are also continuing with longer-term programs to build a better, more resilient and more connected Brisbane, through projects like the fully electric, turn-up-and-go Brisbane Metro, and critical new links like the Kangaroo Point and Breakfast Creek Green Bridges. And we’re continuing to invest in road upgrades that help keep our city moving, ensuring people get home sooner and safer.
We knew Brisbane businesses were suffering extraordinary hardships during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is why we provided millions of dollars in relief and are continuing our investment in the Brisbane app to keep our community and local businesses connected.
We have the experience to prioritise Brisbane’s rebuild and recovery and we are determined to ensure Brisbane just keeps getting better.
Highlights are below of some of the local inner northern suburbs wins we have had in this Budget, some Community Arts and Nighttime Economy portfolio investments I have secured, and further information can be found at HERE
