Group 7 Workshop Presentation. Bridge to bridge, ridge to river: an urban design workshop. Outcomes and key recommendations

Key Recommendations • A pedestrian focussed street network with regular city blocks. • streets to connect the high ground on George Street to the river’s edge and Brisbane Square through to the Goodwill Bridge. • Respect the enhance the heritage quality. Use a development framework (requirements for podiums, a restricted material palette and carefully managed building heights, etc) to achieve these aims. • Use ferry terminals as key waterfront activators within the precinct. • Activate the spaces under REX with temporary leisure (fitness) and startup business opportunities. • Linear park under REX in the medium term with physical connections to river between the Victoria and Goodwill Bridges. • Lessen the impact of buses - remove bus standing and service street functions from precinct to consolidate first aims. • Investigate long term strategy for REX to allow unimpeded connection to river (eg cross river connections rather than along river solution). • New grade separated pedestrian connection across Victoria Bridge linking Cultural Centre arts plaza above bus station level to a new “peoples’ amphitheatre at Reddacliffe Place designed to both facilitate and conceal bus movements.
