“Iconic” is an overused word. But no other word comes close to describing the $3.6 billion Queen’s Wharf Integrated Resort Development that opens in a few weeks’ time.

Ahead of the official opening of the first stage on Thursday 29 August, RLB congratulates an exceptional team, led by the visionary Destination Brisbane Consortium, that came together to turn bold ideas into breathtaking reality.

A world-class hotel in The Star Grand, a state-of-the-art casino and events centre, awe-inspiring sky-high vistas and fine dining experiences… every element of the Queen’s Wharf celebrates the river city’s future and positions it as a global tourism magnet in the lead up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Queen’s Wharf embodies more than a grand design. It represents a decade of dedication and meticulous planning by a talented project team including construction partner Multiplex and Cottee Parker Architects.

RLB provided full-service quantity surveying, comprehensive program audit services and full pre- and post-contract cost services, led by the indefatigable Matt Long, who has spent 10 years bringing imagination to life on this city-shaping project. As Matt says: “Seeing Queen’s Wharf evolve has been incredibly rewarding. It is proof that dedication and teamwork can turn ambitious dreams into extraordinary realities.”

Here’s to the beginning of a new era for Brisbane.
