City Centre Master Plan - Stage 1
Brisbane City Council has worked with the local community, businesses and stakeholders to create the Brisbane City Centre Master Plan - Stage 1, to revitalise the local economy by boosting activity and increasing the appeal of the city centre to residents, businesses, students and visitors.
This interim action plan serves as a bridge between the existing City Centre Master Plan 2014 and a new City Centre Master Plan planned for release in 2025. It is also one way Council is ensuring we are ready to host the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Read the interim action plan:

- Brisbane City Centre Master Plan - Stage 1 (Word – 6.96Mb).
The plan features 15 priority actions to help shape the city centre, as well as ideas to consider in future phases of the Brisbane City Centre Master Plan. Over the next 18 months and into the future, Council will work with government and industry stakeholders to ensure the city centre is:
- welcoming, inclusive and open for business
- accessible to visitors, workers and students throughout the week
- a world-class destination offering diverse and memorable experiences
- a showcase for our river, parklands, streets and subtropical spaces
- unlocking future potential to plan for our Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games legacy.
