Gary HardgraveHOST
And of course, the Oxford University study, this landmark study on the Olympic Games, it holds a terrifying absolute record.
Gary HardgraveHOST
This is, apart from probably Cross River Rail, the only category of mega project in human history.
Gary HardgraveHOST
The Olympics has never been delivered on budget.
Gary HardgraveHOST
Never once.
Campbell NewmanGUEST
What do I mean by that? The access is really, really poor.
Campbell NewmanGUEST
The nearest railway station, which has been upgraded for this Cross River Rail project, which is meant to be supporting, that's been the argument, is their Echo Station, the exhibition station.
Campbell NewmanGUEST
That's 900 metres away.
Campbell NewmanGUEST
Probably tolerable.
Campbell NewmanGUEST
I grant you there's some bus stations nearby.
Campbell NewmanGUEST
So the access is poor, the road access is poor and it's going to be expensive.
Campbell NewmanGUEST
So where should it have been built? Well, I believe they either should have stuck with the Gabba, which has the best public transport infrastructure in Queensland, being the new Cross River Rail Station and the Busway Station, okay? They should have stuck with that or they should have gone to Hamilton North Shore, which I thought was a great solution.
Campbell NewmanGUEST

Kate MeyrickGUEST

Kate MeyrickGUEST
But equally important are the walkable connections and the cyclable connections or the rollable connections that people make.
Kate MeyrickGUEST
Because after the event, your ability to actually walk between precincts in your community is one of the biggest drivers of community connection and health and safety.
