Anti-violence campaigners are hoping the Brisbane City Council will restructure taxi ranks around entertainment precincts.

Just Let It Go Foundation director Simon Turner has been studying where late night violence occurs and will be taking his findings to Brisbane City Council.

Mr Turner, who previously worked with the One Punch Can Kill campaign, would like to see taxi ranks better positioned, with glow in the dark signage to the ranks and communication between nightclubs and their patrons to let them know where the larger queues are.

Under the proposed plan, patrons waiting in line could be listening to classical music, hearing a local comedian or accessing free wi-fi.

Mr Turner is hopeful his on-the-ground approach will help the city council, and that the State Government will support his proposal.

"We're the ones actually in the precinct, we're watching the movements of our young people in these places and we believe this will improve these environments and I guess a responsive council is always going to want to listen to that," he said.

"A responsive State Government is also going to see the actions taking place and get in and support this kind of process because this is what leads to better outcomes, in terms of having better night time economies, having safer environments for our young people and more vibrant cultural and social environments for us to enjoy ourselves."

Our Nightlife secretary Nick Braban agreed that moving taxi ranks to different locations could take pedestrians out of potentially dangerous situations.

"Putting them into different spaces, this will just improve access and the distance people need to walk to get a taxi easily, it will also solve some pedestrian issues with people not crossing major thoroughfares and potentially getting hit by a car," he said.

Yellow Cabs general manager Bill Parker said it was his personal opinion that most of the violence in the entertainment precincts was not in taxi ranks but in nightclubs.

Mr Parker also said that the streets and footpaths of Brisbane were not the responsibility of the taxi industry.
