TOGETHER

This integrated resort development, which spans 10% of the city’s Central Business District, will provide four luxury hotels, a state-of-the-art casino, 50 dining options, 40,000 sq m of retail space and 2,000 apartments.

One of its major attractions is the 100m-high Sky Deck observation platform, an engineering marvel made of 500t of suspended steel that spans four towers like ‘a ship in the sky’.

RLB has overseen the budget of this $3.6 billion megaproject at every stage of its decade-long development.

Drawing on our construction cost database, one of the biggest in the world, we developed a comprehensive cost plan for the scheme. We worked closely with the project’s stakeholders to help them overcome challenges, from inclement weather to supply chain pressures, and from market fluctuations to the Covid-19 pandemic.

By applying our data and cost management expertise, we ensured the project team’s vision for Queen’s Wharf remained uncompromised and became reality.

Matt Long, Managing Director of RLB in Brisbane, says: “Queen’s Wharf is remarkably close to the original vision. It stands as a testament to the possibilities when bold ideas meet meticulous planning. RLB is proud to have played a pivotal role in this city-shaping project, delivering cost certainty and contributing to a new era for Brisbane.”
