Plans to make Brisbane greener
Brisbane City Council released a strategy document yesterday that emphasises their desire to see more green landscapes, public art and easier accessibility in future development.
City planning chairman Matthew Bourke said the council’s strategy was focused on utilising public spaces and buildings with more community events, workshops and festivals.
“We want these spaces to be enjoyed by all our residents and visitors, so we’re encouraging the development of fully accessible pathways and buildings,” said Mr Bourke.
