The fast-tracked Roma Street Area development is being criticised by the Brisbane City Council for a lack of green space, as the Cross River Rail project continues.
BCC spokeswoman Krista Adams says the proposal would turn a public space into a taxpayer-funded pleasure park for the private residents of the adjoining towers, would take out much-needed public parking spaces, and the only green space around the Metro area.
Roma Street is one of the project’s busiest stations, with 46,000 people expected to use the station daily by 2036.
