City Centre Master Plan - Priority projects

Brisbane City Council has released a draft vision for Adelaide Street's evolution into a walkable, tree-lined boulevard, weaving together retail and key civic spaces with a world-class public transport experience.

Queen's Wharf Brisbane will be a world-class entertainment precinct in the heart of the city. Refurbished heritage buildings, entertainment venues and a lively waterfront will bring new life to this part of the city. Queen's Wharf Brisbane is currently being delivered by the Destination Brisbane Consortium in partnership with the Queensland Government. The first stages of the precinct are due to open to the public in 2022.

Edward Street will be transformed into a first-class retail precinct. It will feature sophisticated streetscapes, landscaping, beautiful buildings and boutique shopping. The first stage was completed in 2017. It included streetscape improvements and creative lighting to help further Brisbane's identity as a vibrant, prosperous city. 

Albert Street will become a leafy subtropical boulevard connecting the City Botanic Gardens, King George Square and Roma Street Parkland. For more information on the transformation of Albert Street into Brisbane's green spine, read the Albert Street Vision.

Howard Smith Wharves is Brisbane's newest river's edge destination. It showcases our natural assets, heritage and outdoor lifestyle. This iconic precinct combines postcard views and a dramatic natural setting with recreational, lifestyle, tourist and event facilities. Howard Smith Wharves was created in partnership between Council and HSW Nominees. It opened to the public in late 2018.
