Brisbane Metro – Woolloongabba Station
Planning has progressed investigating the opportunity to deliver more benefits to our customers by integrating Brisbane Metro into the Woolloongabba precinct and better connecting Brisbane's bus network with Cross River Rail.
Under the South East Queensland City Deal, the Australian Government, Queensland Government, and Brisbane City Council committed to undertaking planning for the Brisbane Metro – Woolloongabba Station project, which would change how you travel to, from, and around the Woolloongabba precinct.
