Throughout November 2020, construction work continues to ramp up on the New Performing Arts Venue located at the corner of Russell and Grey Streets. Below is a summary of how these changes may impact access near the site while works continue on construction of the new theatre until late 2022.

Vehicles

• Changed Access: Parking at BCEC – No right turn into the BCEC car park from Grey St (southbound). Access now via Merivale St

Pedestrians

• QPAC: The footpath and southbound lane of Grey St is closed between QPAC pedestrian tunnel and Russel St

• The footpath along QPAC on Russell St is also closed to pedestrians

• Temporary fencing has been installed in front of The Charming Squire

Cyclists: 

• Grey Street: Street cycle lanes on Grey temporarily removed. Cyclists can either share the traffic lane with vehicles with a reduced traffic speed of 20 km/h in place or legally ride on the footpath.

South Bank businesses and visitors will see increased construction activity and changed traffic conditions as work ramps up on several projects in South Brisbane.

To enable the delivery of construction materials to the New Performing Arts Venue project, site semi-trailers (including wide-load vehicles) will travel along Grey Street to and from the construction site at the corner of Grey and Russell Streets.

Truck movements will occur during the regular construction hours of 6:30am – 6:30pm, however some haulage will occur:

• 4am to 6am, Monday 19 October until Friday 23 October 2020.

• 4am to 6am, Monday 26 October until Friday 30 October 2020.
