Brisbane City Council refreshes online hub as 2032 Games transport plans take shape
The council's news and updates page now pulls together newsletters, announcements and project details for residents tracking liveability and infrastructure changes.
How we reported this
Brisbane City Council has updated its central news and community updates page to bundle resident resources in one spot, including the Living in Brisbane newsletter, current service announcements and dedicated sections on the Better Brisbane Index 2025 and the city's Games transport proposal.
The move arrives as the city advances long-term infrastructure work tied to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Council has framed the transport legacy project as a way to deliver permanent improvements for daily travel while meeting Games requirements, a point it highlights on the refreshed page under the heading The race to gold.
Why the timing matters for Brisbane residents
With population growth continuing across south-east Queensland and major venue and transport decisions still unfolding, many locals want straightforward ways to follow council activity without hunting through separate pages. The updated hub addresses that by linking tools such as the What's near me location finder for parks and facilities alongside subscription options for regular email updates.
Council history material also sits on the same page, marking 100 years of the authority's operation and outlining city symbols, giving context to current decisions. Residents can now move from background reading to practical items like community service announcements in fewer clicks.
What the page actually contains
The Living in Brisbane newsletter is listed as the main vehicle for city-wide updates, while the Better Brisbane Index 2025 is presented as a study capturing resident views on liveability and future concerns. The transport legacy section outlines the council's proposal for improvements that extend beyond the Games period.
These elements sit alongside links for subscribing to e-newsletters and accessing the What's near me service, which lets users enter a location to see nearby parks, recreation sites and council services.
