Annual events - needs sourcing
Venues para - needs sourcing and rewriting for clarity
Media - inline cites
Utilities - choppy paras

Historical Population information - note this was placed in the demographics of Brisbane article
Update the map to better focus on the main part of Brisbane, and use a more visually friendly map without random green patches and a lot fewer suburb names

Actually I'm pretty sure I coined the term Brisvegas in 1997

It's pretty simple actually. I was at a party/dinner/gathering of friends and friends of friends. We were talking about southeast Queensland now having two casinos, one in the Gold Coast - Jupiter's Casino and the new on in Brisbane - The Treasury. I was lamenting the fact that we should now probably rename the city Brisvegas. Everyone laughed but there were a couple there who had the opportunity to spread the term to a wider audience because they were breakfast radio hosts on a very popular radio station. After their success in Brisbane, they went to Perth to host there. I assume the term was spread across Australia within the space of a few years. Their initials are T and Z, but yeah I coined the term Brisvegas, cool huh? Cjreal (talk) 08:30, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Historical Population

An historical population table needs to be added to the article. Can someone put this on the to do list? Thanks PANewman (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.78.66.126 (talk) 17:32, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Nevermind, I put it on the list myself. Feel free to delete the item if I'm mistaken. Thanks. PANewman (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.78.66.126 (talk) 17:34, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Traditional name

I've added the traditional name for Brisbane in the Yagerra language, however there is no pronunciation guide. This would probably need an expert! I've just used the two pronunciations given on the State Library website. It may make sense to include this in the info box too. Maxxisti (talk) 04:45, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
