“What does the perfect 2032 look like?”
This was the final question posed to the ‘Brisbane be bold’ panel at Thursday’s breakfast.
The resounding answer being that 2032 is the beginning, not the end, and should be used as a springboard for Brisbane.
Michael Rayner’s keynote put forward seven bold ideas to transform Brisbane’s city centre, including five green corridors connecting precincts across the city.
The panel moderated by Herbert Smith Freehills partner, Julia Jankowski, explored how Brisbane leverage the opportunities ahead to create world-class business precincts.
Kate Meyrick from Urbis spoke about how Brisbane’s inner city shouldn’t be thought of as just a business district, but as a place of experience.
Meanwhile Dexus’ Matthew Miller dived into the role precincts will play in bringing people back to the office.
Brisbane’s life sciences and tertiary education offerings are word leading, and QIC’s Chris Brown said taking a broader precinct approach will be favourable for everyone.
With a full room, the breakfast hosted and sponsored by Herbert Smith Freehills, was a perfect way to round out the Property Council of Australia’s Queensland commercial focused events for 2023.
