The idea is that people will live close to centres, based on key public transport hubs and they will catch buses or trains there to work, shop, use government services and recreation and leisure facilities. Major projects proposed in the plan include:
* $2 billion of rail development on the Sunshine Coast including an additional line through Landsborough to Nambour and a new line to Maroochydore.
* More than $1.2 billion for new busways in Brisbane including one from Dutton Park to Capalaba and another from Enoggera Creek to bracken Ridge.
* $590 million to add a rail line from Corinda to Redbank and a new line from Darra to Springfield.
