“We are not just going to be focused on what is going to be built here,we are focused on what is going to be planted here as well,” Schrinner said.
“One of the exciting parts of this plan is to re-wild Victoria Park.
“That means increasing the tree cover from 10 per cent to 60 per cent — a 50 per cent increase[sic] in tree space in this wonderful green space.”
More than 18 kilometres of pathways are in the planned redevelopment.
Two new pedestrian and cycling bridges over the Inner City Bypass were also shown in the plans released on Tuesday morning.
They were a sneak peek of the 64-hectare green “lungs” for the city that planners hope will be Brisbane’s equivalent of New York’s Central Park in 15 years.
