Minister for Transport and Main Roads The Honourable Mark Bailey
More jobs are coming online to support Queensland’s economic recovery as another Cross River Rail work site ramps up in inner-Brisbane.
Part of the Palaszczuk Government’s $50 billion infrastructure pipeline over the next four years, construction has started on the new Exhibition station at the RNA Showgrounds, meaning year-round trains for Brisbane’s fastest-growing entertainment, business and health precinct are a step closer.
Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the station’s existing western platform had been demolished so the 75-person construction team could begin on the new Cross River Rail station and tracks.
$750,000 promised to ease traffic to Northern Beaches

Thousands have gathered in solidarity with Indigenous Australians calling for a rethink of Australia Day and justice reform in Brisbaneâs CBD, in one of the largest shows of support in recent years.
Stinging sun and a global pandemic did little to deter an estimated 5000 people descending on the city on Tuesday morning, with speeches continuing into the afternoon.
Eventually leaving the park, the protest snaked through the CBD and across the Victoria Bridge, stopping along the way for dance circles and being cheered along by others.
But Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey dismissed the claims in a recent answer to a Question on Notice. He said a recent blitz undertaken with (police) at the interchange resulted in two arrests and the issuing of multiple infringement notices. The Member for Maroochydore said while there has been extra policing and security over the holidays the problem remains. This is something that we ve been calling for, we need a much more concerted, ongoing fix to break the cycle of crime, she said. Really most of the network officers who ride the buses, anyone who s up to no good they re onto their gadgets and letting people know further down the track.
