Living In Brisbane Live! – Details, episodes & analysis

February’s Living in Brisbane Live! is bursting with great ideas for making the most of life in our beautiful city.

Brisbane’s favourite summertime swim continues with entry to our 22 pools for only $2 until Friday 28 February.

Learn about our historic Sherwood Arboretum, which was officially opened 100 years ago this March.

Share the library love on 14 February and join in some special events celebrating libraries and the people who work in them.

And stay up to date with how we’re working to build better roads and improve public transport.

With Christmas around the corner, you can almost hear the sleigh bells ring as you listen to our bumper edition of Living in Brisbane Live! for December 2024 and January 2025!

From the lights on our iconic City Hall to community carols in the park, there’s plenty of free and affordable ways for everyone to join in and celebrate the magic of Christmas in Brisbane. 

As the weather warms up and the year winds down, there’s no better time to visit our libraries, find some boredom-busting school holiday fun and stay cool in the pool with our well-loved $2 Summer Dips. 

Find out how to be one of the first to cross Brisbane’s newest (and tallest) bridge as the Kangaroo Point Bridge opens, what’s happening with our roads and transport, and top spots to reconnect with nature. 

Importantly, learn about how you can prepare your family and home for severe weather. 

All this and more in our latest Living in Brisbane Live!
