Brisbane’s newest entertainment and lifestyle precinct encompassing The Star Brisbane, a diverse mix of new riverfront space, great dining options to suit every taste and budget, exciting nightlife and entertainment. Plus, local and international retail brands and world-class 4-star, 5-star and 6-star hotels.

Located in the CBD, on Brisbane’s river edge, the multi-billion-dollar development will feature iconic contemporary architecture alongside beautifully restored heritage buildings, and provide locals and tourists with more than 12 football fields of public space to enjoy. The development will also make Brisbane more connected with a new pedestrian bridge, linking the CBD to South Brisbane.

The Brisbane River Catchment Flood Study has been carefully considered during all design and planning stages of Queen’s Wharf Brisbane.

The study details have been at the forefront of the development’s design and have informed the heights for where essential services will be placed within the development. This means that services will be resilient to major flooding impacts to assist with continuity of operation within the arc shaped building and supporting towers (core of the development).

Where there is risk of flooding to public spaces closest to the river, Destination Brisbane Consortium has designed the public space surfaces to be durable, impact and flood resilient.
