Plans have been released for a new Gabba precinct to include a major public park and a major transport hub linked to the Cross River Rail project. The Woolloongabba Draft Structure Plan follows the announcement that one of four Cross River Rail stations will be located at Wolloongabba. Construction could start on the new precinct as early as 2012. The transport hub will incorporate the existing Woolloongabba bus station. The plan proposes mixed use development of up to 40 storeys above the transport interchange and 20 to 30 maximum storey heights across other parts of the site. Full development of the Woolloongabba area is expected to take 15 to 20 years. It is anticipated that the first site ready for development will be released to the market later next year, after approval of the final Development Scheme in April 2011.
