Upgrades to the Nudgee Recreation Reserve community sports centre have been drastically downsized due to rising construction costs in Brisbane.
The planned upgrade would originally include a new clubhouse, dog park, and bmx track, however the council received tenders much higher than originally anticipated, leading to a renegotiating of prices, at the expense of fewer facilities.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner cited current transport projects such as the cross river rail and proposed green bridges as creating supply issues for construction, leading to the increase in cost and shortage of resources.
