ForewordThe priorities for Queensland’s future are clear. We are focused on generating jobs and economic development, and we will achieve this by working in partnership with all industry sectors to achieve these important outcomes.

The $5 billion redevelopment of Northshore Hamilton is Queensland’s largest waterfront urban renewal project.

Northshore Hamilton is on its way to becoming a world-class precinct and will include a diverse range of architecturally-designed living options and quality infrastructure.

Over the next 20 years, it will continue to deliver a mixed-used development and will generate jobs and business opportunities for the future.

Approximately 300 apartments are planned to be built each year, generating more than 400 construction jobs per annum.

Northshore Hamilton will be home to about 15,000 people and, over time, will be a hub of employment for up to 10,000 people in commercial and retail businesses.

So far, the transformation of Northshore Hamilton has been exciting. This prime riverside site is destined to become one of the next iconic landmarks for Brisbane and a place that Queenslanders will be proud of.

Northshore Hamilton’s vision will deliver quality development and infrastructure, create a precinct that is community focused, will boost business, and will generate jobs.

Northshore Hamilton is a master planned community. Its urban renewal is underpinned by the controlled release of surplus land, carefully staged development, government-funded infrastructure, and world-class urban design by private developers.

Northshore Hamilton is well-positioned to continue its urban renewal to become a sustainable development and a truly vibrant community.

I am very proud to be involved with Northshore Hamilton and I encourage you to explore the opportunities that Northshore Hamilton offers you.

Northshore Hamilton Queensland’s largest waterfront urban renewal project is set to become a future Brisbane icon.

Once an operating port and more recently an industrial site, this prime real estate has been unlocked to create a vibrant waterfront community.

Northshore Hamilton spans across 300 hectares, and stretches 2.5 kilometres along the Brisbane River – this amounts to more river frontage than Brisbane’s South Bank and CBD combined.

To date, Northshore Hamilton has attracted $750 million worth of private investment into the area. Award-winning developers have invested into Northshore Hamilton and have delivered world-class residential towers, popular retail and entertainment hubs, and business precincts.

Northshore Hamilton is already more than five years into the creation of one of Brisbane’s premier urban precincts. Its exciting transformation will continue over the next 20 to 25 years to become a $5 billion waterfront precinct.

Northshore Hamilton’s prime position is complemented by its advantageous location. Only six kilometres from the CBD and five kilometres from the Brisbane Airport, and next to the prestigious and sought after suburbs of Hamilton and Ascot, Northshore Hamilton is the place to be.

The next exciting chapter will be the creation of Northshore Hamilton’s landmark waterfront civic park development.

Driven by private sector innovation, the newest precinct at Northshore Hamilton will reflect world-class urban design and architecture.

The two hectare residential development will be next to a one hectare waterfront park, 25 metre community swimming pool and civic square.

This development will deliver a two hectare residential and retail development. This development will deliver in excess of 700 new apartments and will create opportunities for more than 20 new businesses.

Heritage Land rich in history, which played a significant role in the development of today’s modern Brisbane.

Northshore Hamilton is destined to become an icon, and embraces its port and industrial heritage and will continue to be part of the river city’s story.

The precinct was formerly home to Brisbane’s working wharves serving the sugar and wool industries for more than 50 years. This represented a landmark story in the establishment of the river city providing crucial shipping infrastructure for Brisbane’s growth.

The nearby suburb of Hamilton is named after Gustavus Hamilton, the first innkeeper of the iconic Breakfast Creek Hotel.

Hamilton was developed when Brisbane was still a penal colony and the women’s prison was located on land that the Royal Queensland Golf Club now occupies. Hamilton Road (now Kingsford Smith Drive) was originally built by convict labour as an access road to the prison.

20th century at Northshore

1920s

1923 - the first wharf was established

1925 - a government cool store was added

1950s

Post-war, a passenger terminal was constructed and two commercial operators, Qantas and Barrier Reef Airways, used the base for flights to the Great Barrier Reef.

1951 - flying boat operations presented a danger to shipping at the Hamilton Reach end of the river, and the base was eventually relocated back to Pinkenba.

1940 - a flying boat base located at Pinkenba was moved to Hamilton and constructed on the training wall downstream from the Hamilton wharves.

During WWII, the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) used this base.

The Port of Brisbane was critical to the Allies during WWII.

Used as US Army South-West Pacific Headquarters from which General Douglas MacArthur managed one million troops passing through Australia.

Brisbane River was significant with all of Brisbane’s wharves employed in war efforts.

1940s 1960s

Development of the Port of Brisbane continued and the Hamilton wharves became the main container shipping and general cargo centre

1968 - upgrade of Hamilton wharf no. 2 as Queensland’s first container terminal, hosting Conaust (P&o).

1980s

The winds of change saw the construction of a deepwater port at Fisherman islands and the gradual relocation of port operations.

As the Port of Brisbane Corporation continued to amalgamate port operations, this presented a unique opportunity to open up this riverfront land for unprecedented urban renewal.

2000s

2009 – a new plan for development was approved for the future staged transformation of Northshore.

2010 transformation of Northshore commenced.

Late 1800s

European settlement dates from the mid 1800s with significant expansion taking place between the late 1800s and the 1920s.
