Mostly focused on SE Queensland, but it's interesting that the talk of building higher density housing is starting to appear in earnest.

What SE QLD needs:

  • Less suburban sprawl
  • More trams and bus ways
  • More walkable cities
  • Mixed zoning with each new development voted on by the people who live in the area. The company that puts forward the best proposal for residents gets the contract. (e.g. Luxury high rise = no, High rise with bakery, cafe, fruit & veg, grocers on bottom floor, and rentable office space on second floor = yes)
