City Of Brisbane
The City of Brisbane is a local government area over the inner portion of the metropolitan city of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, Australia. Respectively, the Brisbane City Council has jurisdiction over that area as the local government. Brisbane is located in the county of Stanley and is the largest city followed by Ipswich with bounds in part of the county. Unlike LGAs in the other mainland state capitals (Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide), which are generally responsible only for the central business districts and inner neighbourhoods of those cities, the City of Brisbane administers a significant portion of the Brisbane metropolitan area, serving almost half of the population of the Brisbane Greater Capital City Statistical Area (GCCSA, formerly statistical division)

Clem Jones Tunnel
There is a smoke reduction ceiling to rapidly draw out smoke in case of a fire or explosion.[14] The ventilation system incorporates 100 jet fans.[13] The speed limit is 80 km/h (50 mph) [4] and there are 165 emergency phones.[15] The eight speed cameras form Queensland's highest concentration of fixed speed detection devices and have been justified as a way of reducing the potential for high-speed crashes.[16] A traffic control centre staffed by 50 personnel continually monitors the tunnel using 250 cameras.[5][13]
