We understand that getting to QPAC can sometimes be challenging due to traffic changes, busy crowds, and ongoing construction projects.
To help ensure that you don't miss the start of your performance, we strongly recommend planning your transport ahead of time and leaving early to avoid any delays. Our location in the heart of the city means that many events take place around us, especially on weekends. Therefore, it's crucial to keep yourself updated with the latest travel information to arrive in good time to enjoy your show
At QPAC, we take your safety seriously. That's why we advise checking bom.gov.au/qld/warnings, qld.gov.au/alerts and qldtraffic.qld.gov.au to stay informed about any travel warnings or disruptions.

Passenger loading zones and pedestrian access
The passenger loading zones and pedestrian access to QPAC have recently changed due to the Brisbane Metro construction works. The Grey St passenger loading and taxi zones are now located further south towards South Bank and there is also now a loading zone on the opposite side of Grey St outside South Brisbane rail station.
The QPAC entry from Grey Street to the QPAC Café and Cascade Court is temporarily closed to pedestrians, however access via the pedestrian tunnel entrance remains.
Signage is in place to provide guidance around these changes.
