Foreword
The 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 architecturallydesigned 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.
Portside Wharf
Northshore Hamilton represents a landmark
waterfront development for Brisbane
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.

What’s next
More development and revitalisation is planned.
The Northshore Hamilton landscape is constantly evolving.
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.
The quality public realm and community infrastructure will be
delivered by the Queensland Government.
When complete, this new civic centre will play a key role in
driving the transformation of Northshore Hamilton, extend
development east of Portside Wharf, and open up 200 metres
of riverwalk.

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
Late 1800s
1920s
1940s
European
settlement
dates from
the mid 1800s
with significant
expansion taking
place between
the late 1800s
and the 1920s.
1923 - the first
wharf was
established
1940 - a flying boat base
located at Pinkenba
was moved to Hamilton
and constructed on the
training wall downstream
from the Hamilton
wharves.
Used as US Army
South-West Pacific
Headquarters from
which General Douglas
MacArthur managed one
million troops passing
through Australia.
During WWII, the Royal
Australian Air Force
(RAAF) used this base.
Brisbane River was
significant with all of
Brisbane’s wharves
employed in war efforts.
1925 - a
government cool
store was added
The Port of Brisbane was
critical to the Allies during
WWII.

1950s
1960s
1980s
2000s
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.
Development of
the Port of Brisbane
continued and the
Hamilton wharves
became the main
container shipping
and general cargo
centre
The winds of change
saw the construction
of a deepwater port at
Fisherman islands and
the gradual relocation
of port operations.
2009 – a new plan
for development
was approved for
the future staged
transformation of
Northshore.
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.
1968 - upgrade of
Hamilton wharf no. 2
as Queensland’s first
container terminal,
hosting Conaust
(P&O).
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.
2010 transformation
of Northshore
commenced.
