Business South Bank is delighted to see the bougainvillea pathway concept featured in today’s Courier Mail Future Brisbane series.

Janine Watson, CEO Business South Bank speaks about extending South Bank’s picturesque arbour linking popular Brisbane sites including The Gabba and Suncorp Stadium. This concept was developed by Business South Bank members in a collaborative workshop late last year.

“Imagine throughout the city there is bougainvillea that leads you down Queen Street Mall, down West End and the river – it’s like the yellow brick road but more climatic”, said Janine Watson.

“Precincts are important because they have different personalities, but you need to find threads that connect up these precincts”.
