Multiplex Wins Main Works Contract for Queen’s Wharf
Queen’s Wharf Brisbane will transform the CBD with four new luxury hotels, more than 50 new bars and restaurants, 2,000 residential apartments and the equivalent of 12 football fields of public space when the $3.6 billion development is complete.
Destination Brisbane Consortium has awarded preferred contractor status to Multiplex for the major construction works at the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane Integrated Resort Development.
The appointment follows a comprehensive tender process and represents a significant milestone in the delivery of the overall project where $3.6 billion will be invested into the CBD site. The works contracted are in line with the overall project budget.
Destination Brisbane Consortium Project Director Simon Crooks said the contract still required finalisation and remained subject to DBC board approval and State Government endorsement and includes the integrated resort development shell and core and the iconic Sky Deck – with initial works to start within months.
“The works that Multiplex will deliver include the shell and core works covering the basement, base services, tower structures and the facade of the main integrated resort,” Mr Crooks said.
“It includes the integrated resort high-rise tower shells ready for later fit-out works, the podium level nestled between the towers and the iconic Sky Deck that will sit 100 metres above street level.
Works will commence mid-2019 with construction works expected to reach George Street level in late-2020 and the first stage of the IRD ready for completion in late-2022.
In addition to the integrated resort development construction activities, maritime work has now commenced in the Brisbane River for construction of the piled suspended concrete slab that will eventually provide 6,500m2 of new public space. These works are being undertaken by Probuild.
