The Brisbane Metro’s underground station at the Cultural Centre, which will cost a third of the metro’s $944 million budget, has taken virtual shape, with fly-through animation released on Tuesday despite the project still being negotiated with the State Government.
Lord Mayor Graham Quirk says the council has asked the state government for the 1600-square-metre lot on Grey Street at South Brisbane, which is crucial for the underground station to go ahead, and a 4.5 hectare lot at Rochedale.
Opposition councillor Jared Cassidy says the council needed to get the land deal with the state government before releasing virtual footage of the single underground station.
