Northshore Hamilton- an urban geography transformation.
Once an area populated by wharves and a variety of maritime industries, the 304ha, 2.5km riverfront precinct only 6km from the Brisbane CBD- Northshore Hamilton- is undergoing transformation as Queensland’s largest waterfront urban renewal project.
Under the management of Economic Development Queensland (a State Government body), plans for mixed use re-development into residential, office, retail, hospitality and parkland purposes are taking shape, and RGSQ members are invited to participate in a group visit and tour of the site (with supporting commentary) hosted by Economic Development Queensland, to hear about (and see some) of what is underway, and planned.
This is a walking tour, in the open, for 1 /1¼ hours. There is little opportunity for seating and limited shade during the tour. Water, hats, sunscreen, umbrella and an appropriate level of fitness and mobility are suggested.
The Event will commence at 9.45am (assembly 9.30-9.45am) adjacent to the Northshore City Cat ferry terminal and conclude (at the same location) around 11.00am.
Getting there: (a) by City Cat on the service that arrives at 9.23am.
(b) Drive. There is ample free parking close to the City Cat ferry terminal. Access off MacArthur Lane, at Dock D driveway. Park at the eastern end of the car park.
The Riva Café is adjacent to the ferry terminal, and is a pleasant venue for coffee (before and/or after) and lunch following the Event.
Cost: $5.00 members $10.00 non-members
Please register your interest in participating by 17th April 2026. Group size is limited to 20.
If event is fully booked, please join the wait-list. It is quite possible that spaces become available.
