Wider South Bank’s Economic Impact and Future Growth
August 21, 2026 – Community, Featured
The Wider South Bank Precinct contributes $11.3 billion to Queensland’s economy, supports 70,000 jobs, attracts millions of visitors each year and is forecast to continue growing strongly over the next two decades.
An Urbis report commissioned by Business South Bank (BSB) highlights the precinct’s role as one of Brisbane’s most important economic, cultural, health and educational hubs. By 2041, the precinct is forecast to reach 92,000 residents and support an additional 16,000 jobs.
The report also identifies opportunities to build on these strengths through coordinated planning, strategic investment and supportive policy settings. Thank you to the BSB members who contributed their valuable insights to this work. Â
