Economic Development

Program goal

Council is building Brisbane’s economy and creating new and innovative jobs, while strengthening the city’s reputation as a global lifestyle, business and investment destination. The Program will focus on implementing the Brisbane Economic Development Plan 2012-31, Brisbane 2022 New World City Action Plan (Action Plan), Smart Connected Brisbane, Brisbane’s Global Precincts Vision and Brisbane’s Future Blueprint.

Program description

The Brisbane Economic Development Plan 2012-31 establishes a vision for Brisbane in 2031 as a top 10 lifestyle city and global hub for resource and related service industry businesses. Its high-performing economy is known for its strong business and cultural links with Asia.

The Brisbane Economic Development Plan 2012-31 addresses five key priorities:• Building Brisbane's global reputation as Australia's New World City• Productive Brisbane• Talent attraction and global connections• Lifestyle city• Leadership, engagement and implementation.

To ensure Brisbane meets its full potential for economic growth and job creation, this program will continue to have a strong focus on investment attraction, small business development and bringing skilled workers, international students and visitors to Brisbane.

Building digital capacity, ensuring digital-readiness and encouraging innovation is also vital to future proof Brisbane’s economy. The program will progress Council’s vision for a Smart, Connected Brisbane, incorporating information technologies to enhance our urban services and actively foster innovation and knowledge transfer.

This program will support the delivery of Brisbane’s Future Blueprint’s key principles of Create a city of neighbourhoods and Create more to see and do.

Council will continue its collaborative approach to precinct development like other successful cities around the world. Delivery of the Global Precincts Vision will enhance Brisbane as an internationally recognised city in which to live, learn, invest and grow. In partnership with the business community, stakeholders and investors, Council and Brisbane Marketing will advance eight specialised precincts around the city and suburbs with the greatest potential to increase the city’s international profile and advance economic growth.

The success of our city’s growth also depends on delivering infrastructure to meet demand. A coordinated and well-managed approach to infrastructure delivery will be ensured through the program’s coordinated planning role for the Brisbane Long Term Infrastructure Plan 2012-31.

Brisbane Marketing is the city’s economic development board and the custodian of the ‘Australia’s New World City’ brand campaign. Brisbane Marketing is funded by Council and other partners to deliver outcomes of the Action Plan. The Action Plan provides a roadmap of actions up to 2022 to take account of the changing economic context. This plan emphasises the importance of economic development coordination and connectivity, identifies the city’s growth sectors, the need for proactive engagement of our next generation and the fulfilment of a Team Brisbane approach with a wider South East Queensland (SEQ) outlook over the next three years.

This program will support Brisbane's long-term economic growth by assisting and actively participating in the implementation of a range of strategic economic capacity building projects, informed by ongoing research and analysis. It will also strengthen alignment across Council to ensure that all Council strategies and program plans support Brisbane's potential for achieving long-term economic prosperity.

Outcome 7.1 Growing Brisbane’s Economy

Outcome description

Facilitate strategies and activities to attract new business investment and generate new and innovative jobs for Brisbane.

Where we are now

Brisbane continues to enhance its status as Australia's New World City at the heart of one of the fastest growing regions in Australia. Brisbane is the main engine of economic growth for SEQ and the most significant economy in Queensland. Employment, population and economic growth in Brisbane and across SEQ are expected to be strong over the next 20 years.

Supporting these forecasts requires a sustained focus on industries where Brisbane demonstrates a competitive advantage. These advantages include appropriately skilled workers, business climate, suitable and affordable business accommodation, market access, infrastructure and the quality of life supported by Brisbane and SEQ. Effort is directed to ensuring that the city provides the best possible environment to support new and existing business growth and investment.

Where we want to be

To deliver the strong growth that is forecast, Brisbane needs to be globally recognised as a world-class location for business. Key attributes of the city, which will support growth among existing businesses and attract new investment, include an efficient regulatory system, seamless customer service, world-class infrastructure and the provision of services which are responsive to business requirements.

Brisbane will have a strong profile as a profitable business location, both nationally and internationally, resulting in strong links with other economies. Identification of investment opportunities will ensure that Brisbane continues to generate the employment and economic outcomes that will sustain a strong and prosperous economy.

Brisbane’s industry clusters will attract global attention and will drive innovation and collaboration. Key industries will be supported by bespoke business forums and networking opportunities.

Outcome 7.2 Enabling Economic Growth

Outcome description

Supporting projected growth in employment, population, exports and investment, Council will ensure that appropriate infrastructure projects are identified and prioritised and that Council’s regulatory frameworks are responsive and enabling.

Where we are now

Under ShapingSEQ, Brisbane is required to deliver an additional 188,200 dwellings between 2016-2041.

In addition, National Institute of Economic and Industry Research employment forecasts suggest that by 2031, the net figure for the number of people travelling into Brisbane each day to access their employment

122


will increase to more than 300,000. This means substantially increased pressures on intra-regional transport networks across SEQ to bring workers into Brisbane.Rapid technological change in the global economy requires the delivery of new infrastructure solutions and city regulations to meet changing demand. At the same time, Brisbane's infrastructure must be resilient and serviceable in the face of severe weather and other unexpected events.

Where we want to be

Brisbane's infrastructure will continue to improve its current levels of service assisting the city to attract investment and sustain the export growth required to achieve the forecast employment growth and associated wealth potential.

Outcome 7.4 Delivering World Class Economic Precincts

Outcome description

Support Brisbane's key high economic growth locations by facilitating the strategic planning and activation of these key precincts to maximise their potential for economic success.

Where we are now

The city centre, comprising the CBD and fringe (including Fortitude Valley, Spring Hill, Paddington-Milton, South Brisbane and Woolloongabba) is an economic asset.

It covers less than one percent of the surface area of the Brisbane Local Government Area, contains four percent of Brisbane's population and yet accounts for approximately 30% of metropolitan Brisbane's gross regional product, 30% of employment and 17% of all businesses.

A significant focus has been placed on renewing and activating Brisbane's key retail and entertainment precincts.

The Queen Street Mall is Queensland's premier retail destination and activation of the space has increased to over 1000 events across the financial year, attracting 26 million visitors a year. The Chinatown Mall is a pedestrian and retail friendly space while the Brunswick Street Mall remains a destination for live music and artistic expression, but also continues to grow its daytime economic offering.

Australia TradeCoast is one of Australia's fastest growing port precincts. Australia TradeCoast's capacity to expand, near both air and sea port facilities and serving one of the fastest growing regions in Australia, makes it an attractive location for establishing and growing significant export industries. The South-West Industrial Gateway also leverages road transport links to greater Queensland and interstate.

Where we want to be

Brisbane's future success relies on our city being a vibrant, activated and cultural New World City. Business and economic growth will be optimised if our precincts continue to be vibrant and attract significant visitor numbers and promotion. Precincts such as Brisbane CBD, Fortitude Valley, Spring Hill, Paddington-Milton, South Brisbane and Woolloongabba will continue to grow as vibrant centres of activity, increasing cultural opportunities and attracting both visitors and residents. Investments and jobs will intensify providing key opportunities for people to live and work in the inner-city suburbs.

The City Centre and Major Industry Areas will become global centres of commerce. International and multinational companies will be attracted to Brisbane in increasing numbers of first-class transport and communication networks, skilled workers and high amenity local services. The Global Precincts Vision will help attract investment, foster innovation, encourage tourism and elevate Brisbane’s international reputation as a New World City.
