From the collapse of the Toondah Harbour project to new plans for one of the city’s last major riverfront sites, we take a look at how development across the region is evolving. We also look at the reality of housing affordability, with new data showing just how limited options have become for lower-income households, while property prices continue to shift. On transport, there’s a combination of short-term disruption and long-term upgrades — including rail negotiations, new station designs, and testing of the next generation of signalling systems. There are also updates on e-mobility laws, healthcare capacity, environmental issues, and community stories that highlight how these broader changes are playing out on the ground. So rather than just running through headlines, this update looks at the bigger picture. What’s changing across Greater Brisbane right now? Where are we seeing progress? And where are the challenges still building?
