The abandoned Ipswich Transit Centre should be demolished and landscaped as open green space near the Bremer River, an Ipswich state MP said, while a mayoral candidate suggested it should be gifted to the people.

Ipswich mayoral candidate Teresa Harding said the abandoned site was a shocking state of affairs.

The abandoned Ipswich Transit Centre in central Ipswich should be scrapped, but people should have their say on what should go there.

"People have said it should become a garden, but there is a lot of concrete there," she said.

"I think we should open it up and ask people what they think and take feedback from people."
