Whether members like it or loathe it, it is an official publicly released proposal subject to further investigation.
Similar lines (e.g. Carlingford, Port Melbourne) around Australia have been closed and converted. So it’s not unheard of.
BCC doesn’t need to own it either. BCC just modified a number of busway stations that they don’t own (e.g. Buranda, UQ Lakes).
AIUI, there is no state funding for Brisbane metro project. These modifications have been paid for by BCC.
BCC also contributes to level crossing removal, even though they don’t have any ownership of QR.
