Brisbane City Council’s LNP Councillors have called on the Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to ‘intervene’ and give approval to early Brisbane Metro Work, after accusing Transport Minister Mark Bailey, of favouring a Labor candidate for council.
The approvals are for the land needing to be purchased for the Brisbane Metro Project - a proposed high-frequency bus rapid transit system.
Lord Mayor Graham Quirk says the council was frustrated and disappointed the major public transport project was not yet under way and accused the state government of delaying deliberately.
