South Bank building projects
Exciting new building projects around South Bank
There are a number exciting new construction projects underway in and around QPAC. Here’s a brief run down.
New Performing Arts Venue for QPAC
In May 2018, the Queensland Government announced it would invest $125 million over four years to deliver a new $150 million theatre on the Playhouse Green at QPAC.
The major impacts at the present time:
- closure of the Grey Street footpath adjacent to the site
- narrowing of lanes of Grey Street
- closure of right-hand turn into Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre car park from Grey Street.
Brisbane Metro
This Brisbane City Council project will provide dedicated busway services, connecting the city and suburbs.
Presently, early work is underway to relocate sewer lines under Grey Street, with construction sites outside Queensland Museum and QPAC. This stage of the work is due for completion in mid-2021.
Neville Bonner Bridge – Queen’s Wharf
The Neville Bonner pedestrian bridge will link the Queen’s Wharf precinct on the northern side of the Brisbane River with South Bank near the Wheel of Brisbane.
Riverside Open Space
The Riverside Open Space project – located on the river between the Rainforest Green and Streets Beach – will deliver additional riverside green space, barbecue facilities, public art and a riverfront events and function space.
Cultural Centre Riverwalk rehabilitation project
To ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, the Riverwalk, between Kurilpa and Victoria Bridges, is undergoing rehabilitation and users are being directed to an alternative route. The work is expected to be completed in mid 2021.
