Transport Minister Mark Bailey has expressed that he is still awaiting the City Council's reports on a proposal for an underground metro station in South Brisbane.
The Brisbane City Council has reported that they have not yet finalised a tender with interested bidders, operating under the concern that the proposal to move the Brisbane Metro station from the Cultural Centre to a location under the Exhibition Centre would cause route delays and overblow the original budget by over $300 million dollars.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner expressed additional concerns regarding the station's relocation- stating that the move would cause it to be more susceptible to flooding and that the original location under the Cultural Centre, was a much more viable option.
