Brisbane is growing and so is our bus network.
Reduce bottlenecks and congestion by maximising our busways and simplifying where services enter and exit the CBD, delivering greater service reliability
Increase connections with other public transport modes, including Cross River Rail, creating more interchange opportunities and travel options.
Our new network will:
Introduce two new Brisbane Metro lines, unlocking capacity to get more people to where they want to go, at the times they want to travel
Our new network will mean more:

This will lay the foundation for future growth for the northern and eastern corridors and provide more turnup-and-go, on-time services for the rest of the network. Future stages could see Metro services extend to Chermside, Carindale, Brisbane Airport and Springwood.
Metros feature the high-quality and high-capacity characteristics of light rail while avoiding the need for tracks, overhead line equipment and supporting infrastructure.

Introducing Brisbane Metro
Queen Elizabeth II 21 April 1926– 8 September 2022
It seems like The Queen was always there, and always would be. Her Majesty The Queen’s first visit to Brisbane in May 1954 came less than a year after her coronation. The visit was the start of a special relationship with our city.
A message from the Lord Mayor
BRISBANE REMEMBERS
Brisbane has lost a Queen and the world has lost an icon.
While the role of the monarchy has evolved, Her Majesty The Queen’s great strength and enduring wisdom ensured she was both respected and loved around the world. The Queen’s kindness, compassion and care for the people of Brisbane will always be remembered.
In October 2011 The Queen made a special – and final – visit to Brisbane, touring areas impacted by the devastating floods and attending a special ceremony with volunteers, emergency services and residents who were impacted.
May Her Majesty The Queen rest in peace.
For more than 70 years, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was a part of our city, helping us celebrate our highs and supporting us during some of our toughest times.
1988 – The Queen opens World Expo ‘88.
2002 – The Queen and Prince Philip visit before Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting on the Sunshine Coast.
In March 1963, The Queen was welcomed back to the city with a bushman’s carnival at the Exhibition Grounds, before visiting Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
1954 – First Royal Tour of Australia, accompanied by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
During the seven-day stay, The Queen met with schoolchildren, returned service members and community organisations, and attended the Lord Mayor’s Ball at City Hall.
1963 1988
After a visit to Moorooka Bowls Club, The Queen brought the XII Commonwealth Games to an official close at Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Sports Centre in Mt Gravatt.
Her Majesty The Queen and Prince Philip set a course for Brisbane in 2011 to provide comfort and support to those impacted by the devastating floods.
2011 – The Queen and Prince Philip tour areas affected by the 2010-2011 floods.
1977 – Silver Jubilee tour, accompanied by Prince Philip.
Arriving in Brisbane in October 2011, The Queen headed from the airport to a river tour to inspect flood damage, before attending a reception to honour the emergency services, volunteers and residents affected.
Brisbane
1982 – The Queen and Prince Philip visit for the XII Commonwealth Games.
Six years later, all eyes were on Brisbane for World Expo ’88, which Her Majesty The Queen officially opened on 30 April 1988, marking a new chapter in Brisbane’s story.
A whirlwind visit to Brisbane in April 1970 saw The Queen open the Supreme Courthouse and attend a performance of A Rum Do! by Queensland Theatre Company.
In March 2002, Queen Elizabeth II visited Brisbane again as part of the Golden Jubilee tour. At a reception held at Roma Street Parkland, The Queen was greeted by the people of Brisbane to mark the 50th anniversary of her service as Queen. The Queen said: “For myself, I thank all Australians…I declare again…that my admiration, affection and regard for the people of Australia will remain, as it has been… constant, sure and true.”
1963 – The Queen and Prince Philip attend school assemblies and events on HMY Britannia
1970 – The Queen, Prince Philip and Princess Anne sail into Brisbane on the HMY Britannia and moor below Newstead House.
The Queen returned to Brisbane in March 1977 as part of the Silver Jubilee, attending a reception in the Cloudland Ballroom before watching a school sports carnival at the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Sports Centre (now known as the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre).
The Queen and Prince Philip touched down in Brisbane on the afternoon of 9 March 1954, as part of their first royal tour. It was also the first time a reigning monarch visited Brisbane.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visits
Walk in Her Majesty The Queen’s footsteps
October 1982 saw The Queen visit Brisbane for the fifth time.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visited Brisbane on eight occasions, opening major events, celebrating Jubilees and supporting the people of Brisbane in tough times.
2011
2011, Her Majesty The Queen and Prince Philip toured affected areas, taking a ride up the Brisbane River and attending a reception honouring impacted residents, volunteers and emergency services
Flame tree and plaque: The Queen planted a flame tree in Roma Street Parkland, in Spring Hill, in 2002 to commemorate her Golden Jubilee, with the event recognised by a plaque. The tree was damaged in a storm in 2008 and replaced by another flame tree. You can spot the plaque near Allee Bridge on the Roma Street Station side of the park.
Queen Elizabeth II bronze statue: One of two statues of Her Majesty The Queen by acclaimed South Australian artist Dr John Dowie, this statue is located within the grounds of Government House in Paddington. It was relocated from its original location in Queen’s Place in 2016.
The BrisbanesupportQueen’sfor

Followingpersonnel.the floods in February this year, The Queen expressed her condolences in a message to the Governor-General of Australia, praising the “resolute spirit and community mindedness” shining through, giving thanks to emergency services and volunteers.
Queen Elizabeth II Courts of Law: Located at 415 George Street, Brisbane City, the building is also known as the Brisbane Supreme and District Courts.
Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Sports Centre (QEII Stadium): Now known as the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre, the original sports facility in Nathan was the home of the 1982 Brisbane Commonwealth Games.
Our city has held a special relationship with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. There are several sites around the city named in The Queen’s honour.
How Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II lives on in Brisbane
Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Hospital (QEII Hospital): In 1977, royal permission was granted to name the planned hospital in Coopers Plains in The Queen’s honour. The facility opened in 1980.
Her Majesty The Queen was a dedicated supporter of Brisbane residents throughout our toughest moments.
When Brisbane was hit by devastating floods in 20102011, The Queen sent a message of support to the Governor of Queensland. She extended her “sincere sympathies to all the people whose communities and livelihoods have been so badly damaged” and then made a private donation to the Queensland Premier’s Flood
Floral tributes at Government House – Brisbane residents mourning the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II have laid floral tributes and paid their respects.
