After years under construction and a stream of opening delays, Brisbane’s mega $3.6 billion resort and casino complex will finally fling open its doors next week.
But the troubled listed company hopes it is finally poised to reap the benefits of the major build, which it says will redefine the rapidly growing Queensland capital.
A pedestrian bridge, Neville Bonner Bridge, will be opened as part of the initial launch to connect Queen’s Wharf and South Bank, while the soon-to-be completed Kangaroo Point Bridge will join the new development to a growing residential peninsula to the east. The dozens of new hospitality venues could reorientate the city’s dining scene, with industry leaders anxiously preparing for a jolt to a sector already feeling the crunch from cost-of-living pressures.Daniel Quinn, owner of Mexican restaurant Baja in Fortitude Valley, said the evolution of Brisbane’s hospitality sector had benefited operators, but he expressed concern a major influx of new venues was unsustainable.
