Should Albion be the Home of Brisbane's Newest Educational Precinct?

Australia has a skills shortage problem, and to combat this, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced there will be 465,000 fee-free TAFE courses. But are there enough education facilities to accommodate this? Where will these students actually study, especially here in Brisbane?
Albion is a perfect suburb to build this proposed new precinct. It's 10 minutes from the CBD, only 3 train stops from the International Airport. It's right on the North Brisbane Bikeway and is connected to many of Brisbane's major arterial road connections. There are parks, new retail and residential developments underway plus it's about to become a hub for sporting activity with the proposed Breakfast Creek Sports Centre being developed for the 2032 Olympic Games.
It's poised to become the next hot suburb in Brisbane and would make for a perfect spot for an education campus.
And the former TAB Building, an iconic brutalist structure in the heart of Albion is the perfect site for this campus. It's about to undergo refurbishment, getting a green, clean, sustainable makeover, and the site it sits on is big enough to build new buildings on when student facilities fill up the original.
Brisbane needs a new centre for education in the city, and Albion fits the bill. But what do you think?

It's a no brainer. Can't wait for these projects to be completed.

[@jamielamont2026]

may be they should make the athlete village for the Olympics adjacent to this development to be used as student accommodation after the Olympics

Finally the Albion train station upgrade consultation is open and closes on sept 20!!

Oh, man, good luck with making enough parking. Albion is insane for traffic, especially the 5-way connecting to Crosby Road. Breakfast Creek just gets in the way.

[@melpikos8533]

The 5 ways definitely needs State and Local governments to come together with a solution. Luckily, public transport like the Albion Train Station upgrade are already proceeding. Most students catch public transport.

Bring on demolishing the rubbish and make Albion great so the traffic flows and the area can be rejuvenated. Just build up to avoid flooding!

@@melpikos8533yes I saw in the budget in like 2025-26 funding for Albion station upgrade. Bring it on they could really build some bigger and proper commuter parking there and apartments and another flyover the 5 ways.

The diagrams for cross river rail show that the cross river rail trains after exhibition don’t stop until eagle junction station. If that’s wrong I was hoping they stop at Albion, therefore 2 stops from Roma and 3 from Albert. Grateful if this can be clarified!

[@melpikos8533]

Albion will have 2 lines. 1. Albion > Bowen Hills > Valley > Central 2. Albion > Exhibition > Roma > Albert
