In August 2016, The Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships hosted a cultural closure event of the building, where it was announced that the new pedestrian bridge would be named ‘The Neville Bonner Bridge’ to continue his legacy. The Neville Bonner Bridge will link both sides of the Brisbane River and connect directly to South Bank and Brisbane’s cultural precinct.
