Welcome to the blog for the Shape Your City Heart series, The Brisbane Institute’s inner-city community forums.

The Brisbane Institute wants to find out what you love about your inner city and what you’d like to change.

Brisbane is changing and growing, and local and state governments are planning for its future. Without planning, we will inevitably be faced with greater congestion, and housing and water shortages.

But if you visit, live or work within 5km of the inner city, it’s important for you to have your say about its future. Now is the time to speak up to protect the things you love about your city and change the things you don’t.

Brisbane City Council will be using feedback from Shape Your City Heart as part of its community engagement strategies for future planning.

So come to the forums, fill in our survey or leave comments on the blog to tell us what you really think.
