Using legal loopholes to push forward infrastructure projects could backfire on Brisbane’s Olympic and Paralympic Games organisers.
Brisbane 2032 was supposed to be the first ‘climate-positive’ Olympic Games. But a quiet change to the host contract puts the commitment in doubt.
Brisbane is a subtropical city of more than 2.5 million people, situated on a flood-prone river. That’s why residents mustn’t get complacent after Cyclone Alfred.
The seas off southeast Queensland are unusually warm, which helped ex-Cyclone Alfred intensify as it barrelled towards the coast.
How much microplastic does a city produce? To find out, we looked at Brisbane’s Moreton Bay, where microplastics build up without being washed away
Shared e-scooters are much more regulated and monitored than privately owned e-scooters, which are likely to pose greater risks as a result.
Brisbane is aiming to be the first Olympic Games host to make carbon savings greater than the emissions the event produces. That’s easier said than done, so what’s the plan to achieve this goal?
Sydney emerges as the most segregated of our biggest capital cities, and the trend will continue without broad changes in government policy and investment.

Lead levels in backyard hen eggs are often much higher than in eggs bought in the shops. A new study of soil lead, chickens and eggs locates the high-risk areas in our biggest cities.
As history shows, many natural and human factors determine how water will behave during a flood.
Prone to flooding, by the 1970s Brisbane’s South Bank was largely undeveloped open space. It is now home to Queensland’s major cultural institutions.
