Name of the Project
Brisbane International Cruise Terminal.

Location
The project is located at Luggage Point, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Client
Port of Brisbane.

Project Description
The new cruise terminal will enable the world’s largest cruise ships – ships longer than 270 m – to visit Brisbane.

The terminal building will be about 9 300 m², set over two levels and connected to a 200-m-long wharf, with two air bridges facilitating the movement of passengers on and off the ships.

There will also be public open spaces, parking for cars and buses, as well as extensive landscaping across the site.

Potential Job Creation
The cruise terminal is expected to create 245 jobs a year over its two-year construction period.

It will also safeguard the existing 1 250 jobs related to the cruise industry in Brisbane and add 49 operational jobs on average a year over the next 20 years as the industry grows.

Value
$158-million.

Duration
Early works began in November 2017, with construction of the wharf expected to start in mid-2018.
