Construction of Queens Wharf foreshore begins

Multiplex has commenced Stage 1 of the riverside infrastructure of the Queens Wharf foreshore project, which is set for completion in 2019, reports brisbanedevelopment.com.

 

Situated on the north bank of the Brisbane River, this will be the first stage of the entire project ready for public use, and will eventually join with the main precinct via the creation of the new ‘Waterline Park’ parkland and ‘Mangrove Walk’ walkway. 

 

 The 450 metre Mangrove Walk is outlined within the original development application as having the following function and features:  

  •  Pedestrian only space with educational signage 
  • Rest stops, shelters and lookouts along the boardwalk to enable visitors to take in views
  •   Management during peak periods such as River Fire for public safety
  •  QUT CityCat access to remain with improved access for pedestrians
  •  Sculpture and map details upon entry

 

Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning Cameron Dick says the overall project is one of the largest urban projects ever commenced in Brisbane.

 

“This project is going to significantly shape and transform Queensland in terms of jobs and economic growth,” said Mr Dick.

 

Hannah Schuhmann says the hype around the $3.6 billion project is great for the Brisbane CBD, especially the property market, where investors are taking considerable interest in the city due to this development, plus other major infrastructure projects in the pipeline such as Howard Smith Wharves, the new Brisbane Airport runway, Brisbane Quarter development and the $5.4 billion Cross River Rail to name a few.
