Every week, I bring together the stories shaping life across Greater Brisbane—from major infrastructure and housing to transport, local initiatives and the smaller changes that often fly under the radar.

This week we look at AI-powered traffic signals in Moreton Bay, new technology aimed at reducing rail delays, major revisions to the Toowong Central redevelopment, rising rents, historic buildings being incorporated into new developments, a Brisbane company helping reduce grocery bills, Sustainable Aviation Fuel at Brisbane Airport, and much more.

Queensland has handed down its second budget since the election, with billions of dollars committed to infrastructure, housing, schools and transport. But with a record construction pipeline now planned, the big question is whether the state can actually deliver it all.

This week, we take a closer look at what the budget means for Greater Brisbane, including permanent 50-cent public transport fares, water and electricity bills, new infrastructure, housing, and the challenges of finding enough workers to build and staff the projects now on the drawing board.

We also explore the proposed transformation of Brisbane's former Visy glass factory site into what some are already calling a "new South Bank", the planned revitalisation of Uptown Brisbane, and why Greater Brisbane's rapid growth is creating opportunities—and challenges—for the future.

In this week's My Two Cents, I take you behind the scenes of how I investigated one of the political claims surrounding Queensland's permanent 50-cent fares, following the evidence wherever it led and explaining why fact-checking isn't always as straightforward as it first appears.

After years of rapid growth, Brisbane's housing market is showing signs of cooling. But what does that actually mean for buyers, homeowners and the future of housing across Greater Brisbane?

This week we also look at the key themes emerging from all five council budgets, Queensland's new e-bike crackdown, progress on Queensland Rail negotiations, Moreton Bay's push for better public transport, Brisbane City Council's governance changes, the latest developments at Kurilpa Commons, water prices, and what's on my radar over the coming months.

Brisbane's budget is out, the Story Bridge could cost $3.6 billion to save, major Olympic projects are moving forward, and new questions are being raised about whether South East Queensland can actually build enough homes to keep up with growth.

In this Greater Brisbane Update, we take a look at Brisbane City Council's budget, the future of the Story Bridge, new housing announcements, Suncorp Stadium upgrades, Olympic infrastructure, transport projects, flood preparedness, recycling initiatives and more from across Greater Brisbane.

Brisbane is changing quickly.

This week, we're looking at the push for more housing across Greater Brisbane, the controversy surrounding affordable housing requirements, a bold proposal to transform South Brisbane, and what all of this says about the kind of city we're becoming.

We'll also cover Bluey's World securing its Brisbane future, the Gabba's first major concert in years, new flight routes, community initiatives making a difference across the region, and whether Brisbane should embrace the things that make it unique rather than trying to become something it's not.
