Les autorités australiennes ont présenté, lundi 15 mai 2006, le projet de développement du "riverfront" de Brisbane. 80 hectares sont concernés par le programme dont 55 relèvent encore du domaine portuaire. Les travaux débuteront en 2007 pour s'étaler sur 10 à 15 ans. Cette opération de reconversion industrielle s'inscrit dans une démarche de développement durable. L'aménagement du site de Northshore Hamilton prévoit la construction de logements et l'installation d'équipements complémentaires comme des espaces verts et des voies cyclables.

The Minister of Transport and Main Roads, Mr Lucas, said “When it’s completed, Northshore Hamilton could house up to 10,000 people in a mix of individual homes, townhouses and high-rise apartment buildings ranging from 10 to 20 storeys,”.
Member for Clayfield Liddy Clark said she was excited about the prospects of opening up more than two kilometres of previously inaccessible riverfront to the people of Brisbane.
“We’re transforming an industrial site into a vibrant, sustainable community,” Ms Clark said.
“The plan includes more than 10 hectares of parkland, riverfront walkways and cycle paths, all of which will help Northshore Hamilton become a hub for Brisbane residents and visitors keen to be near the Brisbane River,“ Ms Clark said.
The Minister said the Port of Brisbane Corporation, through its Northshore Development Group, had worked closely with the Brisbane City Council and residents of Hamilton, Ascot and Eagle Farm, as well as Brisbane Airport Corporation, local business, tenants, landowners and other stakeholders in developing the draft master plan.
“The plan allows for a range of residential dwelling styles and densities to cater for the changing needs of Queensland households and the growing demand for riverside property in the south east,” Mr Lucas said.
“A range of higher buildings will be set apart from lower-rise development by the widest riverfront boardwalk and cycleway system ever seen in inner Brisbane. This will create a more people-friendly environment,” Mr Lucas said.
“We are now seeking specific feedback on the draft master plan so we can present it to Brisbane City Council.
“We’re confident the final plan will be easily incorporated into their City Plan to allow the redevelopment process to start.
“The first stage of Northshore Hamilton includes a 2.5-hectare riverfront park with work set to start in late 2007. The first sale of land to developers is expected in early 2008,” Mr Lucas said.
The Minister said existing port users had already started relocating to the deep-water facility at Port of Brisbane, at the mouth of the Brisbane River.
