South Bank

• For more than 30 years, South Bank Parklands has been Brisbane’s premier lifestyle and cultural destination, visited by an estimated 14 million people every year. For locals, it has become the natural place to dine, be entertained, celebrate occasions, connect or simply relax. The precinct serves as a key walking, riding and rolling corridor between other inner-Brisbane precincts like the CBD, Roma Street, Woolloongabba and the Cultural Centre. It’s a major economic contributor to Queensland, with greater South Bank estimated to contribute $900 million annually to our economy and supporting an estimated 8,100 jobs.
• The Future South Bank Master Plan complements the Walkable Spine, a green active travel corridor that will link the Brisbane Arena at Roma Street and Suncorp Stadium to the north with the Gabba in the south.
• That’s set to get even better with the Neville Bonner Bridge to carry the increased foot traffic from Queens Wharf Brisbane, becoming a convenient way for some of the 8,000 workers estimated to be employed across the precinct and for other CBD workers coming to and from South Bank and West End. Other major projects like Brisbane Metro and the New Performing Arts Venue will continue to shape the precinct for the better. These projects will complement each other, improving liveability for the entire precinct and attracting more interstate and international visitors to Brisbane.
