"Pertumbuhan ekonomi Kota Brisbane diperlukan untuk menunjukkan hubungan sosial ekonomi dan lingkungan yang seimbang dari daerah lingkungan pelengkap seperti Fortitude Valley. Hasilnya dapat meliputi keragaman social, budaya dan warisan daerah. Dengan menerapkan rencana Ketahanan Perkotaan di Fortitude Valley, tidak diragukan lagi daerah tersebut akan menjadi salah satu bait budaya yang paling kreatif dan inklusif di Brisbane, dengan peluang untuk input budaya dan masyarakat melalui karya seni, desain ruang publik dan pembaruan jalan. Tujuan utama dari rencana tersebut akan terpelihara dengan baik dan ditingkatkan dengan menyediakan fungsi komersial yang mendukung ke pusat kota dan memastikan keeksistensian warisan budaya daerah.

The growth of Brisbane City economy is required to demonstrate balanced social, economic and environmental outcomes and complement of its neighborhood areas like Fortitude Valley. The outcomes include social, cultural and heritage diversity.

By applying the Urban Resilience plan in Fortitude Valley, the area no doubt will be one of Brisbane’s most creative and inclusive cultural precincts, with opportunities for cultural and community input through artwork, signage, public space design and street furnishing.

The main purposes of the plan will be well-maintained and enhanced by providing both a supportive commercial function to the City Centre and ensuring the cultural heritage of the area."

"Selama beberapa tahun belakangan, kita telah menyaksikan besarnya gerakan startup di negara-negara seperti Singapura, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Filipina, Taiwan, Thailand, dan Myanmar. Saya segera menyadari betapa berbedanya ekosistem startup di wilayah ini. Banyak di antara elemen yang kami, sebagai venture capitalist, remehkan di Silicon Valley, tanpa diduga ada di Asia Tenggara. Jelas bagi saya sejak semula bahwa dalam hal ini, Asia Tenggara memiliki semua hal yang dibutuhkan untuk menciptakan wilayah startup yang sukses, hanya saja belum berkembang."
