Moreton Bay Council says its proposed 60-site campground at Wyllie Park will provide a safer and more dignified place for people sleeping rough. But the Queensland Government says it was blindsided and has serious concerns about the plan.

In this Greater Brisbane update, we examine what the campground would provide, what it wouldn’t, and the questions still surrounding security, support services and long-term housing.

We also look at an analysis finding public transport beats driving into Brisbane from 72 suburbs - depending heavily on how long drivers need to park and walk. Plus, Brisbane and Logan’s use of AI to detect swimmers in trouble, Ipswich’s conditional $2.5 million commitment to a synthetic athletics track, an $85 million vision for Kedron Brook, Southern Thornlands’ planned 8,000 homes and a proposed five-day food market at Hamilton.

UPDATE: Economic Development Queensland’s consultation page now states that the Queensland and Australian governments have committed $544 million in catalyst infrastructure funding for Southern Thornlands. This new information differs from the funding position described in the video.
