Modern-day Brisbane is an exciting city with a social
soul and a focus on outdoor life. The winding river has been rediscovered and is celebrated as one of the many features that make our capital so liveable.
Northshore Hamilton will celebrate and embrace the Brisbane River. For the first time ever, a fully integrated two kilometre riverwalk will open up this part of the river to the people of Brisbane. Designed as a shared environment for pedestrians and cyclists, it will link the new Northshore Hamilton community with its neighbours: Portside Wharf,
the international cruise ship terminal and Brett’s Wharf.
Northshore Hamilton will be a neighbourhood that encourages everyone to get out and about, with a
network of low-speed pedestrian-friendly streets,
walkways and cycleways.
Getting on a bus, train or ferry will also be a breeze. Stops for vital public transport infrastructure will be located all around Northshore Hamilton - approximately 400 metres from every residence. Bike storage facilities will be included at the Urban Centre and the CityCat terminal. Plans are being made to connect the Northshore Hamilton cycle network with the Brisbane City Council’s regional bikeway system.
Car travel at Northshore Hamilton will be more streamlined and simple, too. A new entry road from Kingsford Smith Drive will allow direct access to the Northshore Urban Centre. Improvements and extensions to existing roads will create major loops, leading to the precinct’s residential neighbourhoods.
The urban centre will also be well served by public transport, with an interchange connecting
bus and CityCat services, and links to rail.
People will be able to move easily and safely around Northshore Hamilton’s extensive range of spaces.
