Labour MP Jackie Trad announced labour has guaranteed that 50% of the land about the currently under construction train site at the Gabba is to be used for public park lands. The commitment comes with the promise the space will be co-designed with the community.
The plan also promises the construction of affordable built to rent housing designed with key workers such as medical professionals and front line workers as well as social housing.
This decision comes after confusion was voiced within the community about what the land would be used for with pressure applied from Greens MP Jonathan Sri calling for more transparency regrading whether the land would be sold off to private developers.
