In December 2019, work commenced on the demolition of the Brisbane Transit Centre . With an estimated capital cost of $ 5.4 billion it is expected to be the largest transport project ever built in Queensland. In addition,
153-404: A high level conceptual plan for integrating tunnel operations into the existing network with an emphasis on high service levels and network reliability. Sectorisation was chosen over grade separation to reduce construction and maintenance costs while allowing for high frequencies. The sectorised network will also reduce the propagation of service perturbation, ensuring any delays are contained within
204-710: A process to formally define their boundaries and to gazette them, which is almost complete. In March 2006, only South Australia and the Northern Territory had not completed this process. The CGNA's Gazetteer of Australia recognises two types of locality: bounded and unbounded. Bounded localities include towns, villages, populated places, local government towns and unpopulated town sites, while unbounded localities include place names, road corners and bends, corners, meteorological stations, ocean place names and surfing spots. Sometimes, both localities and suburbs are referred to collectively as "address localities". In

Infrastructure Australia evaluated the business case in 2017 and expressed concerns that the rail patronage projections may not be achieved and that the benefits in the business case may be overstated. However, Infrastructure Australia still listed Cross River Rail as a priority project. Under the plan, Queensland Rail Citytrain will operate in three sectors, all connecting at

Yeerongpilly grew from an area named Boggo, which was logged for timber for Brisbane. In April 1885, "Lathorn Estate" made up of 118 allotments were advertised to be auctioned by James R. Dickson & Co. A map advertising the auction states
459-551: Is proposed to be allocated in future budgets. Infrastructure Australia has observed that early project designs formed the basis of the project cost estimates and are prone to design maturity risks. Construction started in September 2017, with completion scheduled by 2024. The Labor Government has stated the project will provide more than 1,500 jobs each year during construction, and boost the Queensland economy by $ 70 million. The New Generation Rollingstock fleet will operate in

This Australian usage of the term "suburb" differs from common American and British usage, where it typically means a smaller, frequently separate residential community outside, but close to, a larger city. The Australian usage is closer to

#1732897798887612-430: The 2008 Inner City Rail Capacity Study predicted that the demand for Brisbane peak train services would double by 2016. The Infrastructure Australia review of the current project highlighted that the 2011 business case projected the 2016 rail patronage – without Cross River Rail – as 374,000 passengers per day. The Queensland Rail Annual Report for 2015–16 reports patronage of approximately 150,000 passengers per day for

A new line through the city centre was needed because of the centralised nature of the existing inner-city network of stations. If any inner-city services were interrupted it led to traffic bottlenecks that rippled across city-wide services. The tunnel will utilise
816-655: The Cross River Rail project was to have its southern tunnel portal approximately at the Cardross St overbridge. The current proposal has relocated the southern tunnel portal to Dutton Park. The Brisbane Golf Club is a 36 hole, private golf club and includes facilities such as driving range and pro shop.

According to the project's business case the desired design speed is 80 km/h (50 mph). The four new underground stations will have platform screen doors, a first for Brisbane. Platforms will be 220m long to accommodate future nine-car trains, though the tunnel will initially run six-car trains. The project will utilise

It also allowed the existing rail yards at Clapham to be used as stabling yards, negating the need to build a new storage depot for trains elsewhere. In June 2012, the newly elected Newman Government announced plans for a scaled down version of the project estimated to cost $ 4.5 billion. The revised plan excluded upgrades to existing stations and extra above-ground train lines south or north of

The project included a 9.8-kilometre (6.1 mi) tunnel, two new surface stations as well as four new underground stations. Upgrades to Moorooka and Rocklea were also proposed. Underground stations were proposed to include retail facilities, and a maximum of 120,000 passengers were claimed to be able to be moved during

Unlike the use in British or American English, this term can include inner-city, outer-metropolitan and industrial areas. Localities existed in the past as informal units, but in 1996 the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping and the Committee for Geographical Names in Australasia (CGNA) decided to name and establish official boundaries for all localities and suburbs. There has subsequently been

Between Salisbury and Dutton Park the existing line is used by freight trains traveling to the Port of Brisbane and a terminal at Acacia Ridge , and the expected rise in the number of passengers services may interrupt freight services unless a new line is built. The Merivale Bridge is the only inner-city rail crossing in Brisbane, and by 2016 it was expected to be over capacity, leading

After finalisation of a business case in August 2017, construction officially started in September 2017, when work began on demolishing the defunct GoPrint building at Woolloongabba, to make way for Cross River Rail. In April 2019, the Queensland Government appointed a CIMIC Group led consortium to deliver various aspects of

1275-677: The Estate was "directly opposite the South Brisbane cemetery" and offers "magnificent views of the River, Mountains and surrounding land." The Brisbane Golf Club was established in the suburb in 1896. A Queensland Government research complex, last known as the Animal Research Institute , occupied a site adjacent to Fairfield Road from 1909 to 2011. In October 1927, 14 allotments of "Riverside Estate" were advertised to be auctioned by Thornton & Pearce, Auctioneers. A map advertising

Proposed stations at Woolloongabba and Exhibition were to be named The Gabba and The Ekka respectively. Yeerongpilly was chosen as the southern portal because it had less impact on residents than a tunnel entrance at Fairfield . An entrance there would allow trains on

The station only opens a few times a year, servicing special events such as the Brisbane Ekka held at the Brisbane Showgrounds . After the station is upgraded, it will open year-round with high-frequency services connecting the surrounding residential community. Seven existing rail stations will be upgraded at Dutton Park station , Fairfield station , Yeronga station , Yeerongpilly station , Moorooka station , Rocklea station and Salisbury station . Stations will be rebuilt with additional accessibility features (such as braille maps and rubber platform gap fillers), high level platforms, new lifts, new enclosed stairs and overpasses for weather protection, and new drop-off and cycling facilities. Stations will also receive an additional third platform apart from Dutton Park station which will also be relocated and rebuilt to

Citytrain patronage is quoted as having increased at an annual average of 3.4% between 2006 and 2012, compared to an average annual population increase of 2.4% over the same period, confirming forecasts that the Merivale Bridge will reach capacity some time between 2016 and 2021. However, this capacity constraint may be over pessimistic as doubt has been cast on
