St. Lucia is a residential suburb which is located southwest of the Brisbane Central Business District (CBD).

St. Lucia's main attraction is The University of Queensland (UQ) (est.1911)

UQ has 51,070 in total of active students. In which 13,337 of them are international students (About UQ, 2017).

With the amount of international students enrolled at UQ, St.Lucia becomes the convenient location for students accommodation

The whole suburb is structured to effectively get people to the university. In comparison to the old times the place was just used for agricultural purposes. St Lucia is now a mini city as the university continues to expand. The expansion however comes with a price. The private places in their suburbs have now become public spaces for the people who go to the university, in this case mainly students. Suburbs as mentioned last week, were created to keep a distance and separation so as to maximise the private space and create a safe haven. With the expansion of the university, instead of creating a safe haven for the residents, it is creating bigger insecurities.

"The latest Draft University of Queensland Master Plan is an expansive, sweeping expression of UQ’s current administration’s ambition. It seeks to set the stage for a University that’s bigger, taller, more scenic, more attractive to overseas students and high-calibre academics, open all hours and more self-important than ever before."

“Why is so unwilling (or unable) to come clean and quantify precisely how much it plans to grow?”

"It seems to us that UQ’s over-riding motivation behind the new Master Plan is to make more room on its physically-constrained UQ campus for many more students."

"UQ’s current administration wants to become twice as big a catering, retail and entertainment provider, one operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Which will do local retailers no favors at all."

Traffic Congestion: Local community has gave its concern in regards of traffic that was created by the existence of UQ. With the total amount of students and staff who have to attend the campus everyday, UQ has caused traffics in several areas at St.Lucia. Alternative bridge that was proposed by UQ has been triggering many concerns from locals as it would only cause more traffic and the potential of cutting of green space available at the suburb

Other General Concerns: Plans of building high-density student accommodation may impacts the public transportation demands, land-retail price, and campus density report.

Home to the University of Queensland

An attraction in St Lucia

"Traffic there is chaotic"

The university has been acting like a agressive developer hoping to extend its footprint.

The university expansion will have a negative impact on St Lucia, Indooroopilly, Long Pocket, Toowong, parts of Taringa and parts of West End.

“And the community does not know exactly what the university is intending.”

Destroying the happy places of these people

The building of the bridge would mean that the private gathering area for the residents would be home for the public.

According to an article in the Courier Mail, Sheila and Ron Morgan, a couple who have lived there for almost 15 years felt that the bridge would cause the park to lose it homely feeling.]]> 2017-08-30 05:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/natashahazirah/kpfycy9ruwlg/wish/183597577 natashahazirah https://padlet.com/natashahazirah/kpfycy9ruwlg/wish/183598580 The idea is being pitched to accommodate another 1300 students who that would be studying in UQ in the future.
