Greater Brisbane
Brisbane's local communities, businesses and government working together
Welcome to Brisbane's Place Projects - a joint initiative between local communities, Brisbane City Council and the Queensland Government.
Place projects focus on a small number of geographic areas or 'places' in Brisbane that face a range of social and economic challenges. These challenges need local solutions based on local residents, community organisations, government and business working together in a coordinated manner.
Aims of Place Projects
The aim of each Place Project is to:
- build a stronger and safer community
- increase employment and training opportunities
- respond better to the needs of groups in the local community
- develop more accessible and better coordinated government services
- strengthen community and business networks and encourage partnerships between community members, business and government.
The Brisbane Place Projects form part of the City Council's vision to nurture an inclusive Brisbane where all people are welcome and contribute. This vision is detailed in Council's document, Living in Brisbane 2010.
How you can get involved
The Brisbane's Place Projects need the time, energy, knowledge and skills of local residents and community organisations.
