Yesterday's announcement regarding the State Government and SEQ Council's Green Infrastructure projects boost to enhance urban sustainability is incredibly exciting. This funding ranging from $1M to $5M - available for Council-driven projects - will go towards key green urban infrastructure investments that will: 1. Enhance access to and provision of active transport infrastructure with green infrastructure features in urban environments for all. 2. Reduce localised urban heat island effects. 3. Support healthy lifestyles through the design of the built environment. 4. Improve urban green connectivity and deliver enhanced urban biodiversity. The design industry (across all disciplines) has been advocating for green infrastructure for a long time and it is great to see this level of specific and focussed investment, particularly with the eyes of the world set to gaze on Brisbane in 2032. Irrespective of the Games, it is the right thing to do. Time is of the essence and we don't have a minute to waste.
