PROJECT VISION

Waterfront Brisbane is set to deliver a global-standard business destination that aims to maximise its prime riverside location with enhanced open spaces, retail amenity and a revitalised premier waterfront dining hub.

 

The $2.5 billion transformation of the Eagle Street Pier and Waterfront Place precinct into Brisbane’s premium business destination received development approval from Brisbane City Council in 2020 and is currently under construction. Dexus’s commitment to a significant investment in public infrastructure and open space aligns with the council’s Rivers’ Edge Strategy.

A VIBRANT PRECINCT THAT SUPPORTS THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND SMALL BUSINESSES

Dexus is making a significant investment at the river level to create a public and open space that is accessible 24/7.

This will provide additional public realm, a bustling retail strip featuring cafes and direct access to end-of-trip facilities. New moorings for commercial craft, including river taxis, and a new CityCat terminal will contribute to the riverfront ambiance.

PRECINCT HISTORY

Eagle Street Pier was once a densely vegetated marshland, at the fringe of a rainforest that is now the Botanic Gardens, providing a rich food source of flora and fauna for the First Nations people of Meeanjin. The precinct has had a colourful history acting as a key gateway to the city, a meeting place and centre for trade.

From 1858 Eagle Street Pier served as the shipping wharves where many coastal passenger and cargo ships would come into Brisbane, right up until 1960 when they fell into disuse.

In their final years, the redundant Eagle Street piers were used for car parking and eventually demolished to make way for new development.

The area underwent a renaissance when Eagle Street Pier was built in 1989, transforming it into Brisbane’s premier riverfront dining and entertainment precinct.

Waterfront Brisbane will amplify the rich history of the site through the heritage-listed, restored Naldham House and the future retail pavilions, to create a destination dining experience.
