Sky Deck to Take CBD and Economy to New Heights

February’s first look from the jewel of Queen’s Wharf Brisbane is set to send interest soaring in the $3.6 billion precinct that will unlock a wealth of economic opportunities for Queensland.

The Sky Deck is poised to become a tourist magnet as the centrepiece of the world-class Queen’s Wharf Brisbane development taking shape in the heart of the Brisbane CBD.

The massive Queen’s Wharf Brisbane project is delivering 2,000 jobs during peak construction and 8,000 jobs in total including through the supply chain and hospitality once open.

The Sky Deck will include a restaurant, bar, and events space. There will also be a glass floor viewing platform at the mid-way mark.

Work is powering ahead on site, with the Sky Deck’s second bridge soon to be lifted into place.

Once open, it will offer a vantage point 100 metres above the Brisbane River for up to 1,500 people to enjoy stunning views of the city year-round.

The Queen’s Wharf Brisbane redevelopment area is state-owned land located between the Brisbane River and George Street and between Alice and Queen streets.

Covering more than 12 hectares of CBD land, the area will feature about 50 new bars, cafes and restaurants, a casino, four world-class hotels, luxury retailers, about 1,500 residential apartments, repurposed heritage buildings, green spaces, and the Neville Bonner Bridge.

The development is expected to open in late 2023.

In February, the Palaszczuk Government unveiled plans to expand the Woolloongabba Priority Development Area (PDA) connecting the new Stadium, Cross River Rail, and the Brisbane Metro with a walkable connection to South Bank and Brisbane CBD via Brisbane City Council’s new green bridge.
