Brisbane Fashion Festival 2025 to Open in Style on Kangaroo Point Bridge

Brisbane’s most iconic fashion moment is about to take centre stage. As Brisbane Fashion Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025, all eyes will turn to Kangaroo Point Bridge, where this year’s landmark event will launch in spectacular style.

On Sunday 24 August at 10:30 am, the Festival will open with a Resort Show staged on the bridge itself, transforming this much-loved Brisbane landmark into a soaring outdoor runway. Against the backdrop of the city skyline and the Brisbane River, some of Australia’s most celebrated designers will present their Spring/Summer resort collections in what is set to be one of the Festival’s most visually striking openings yet.

Featured labels include Pamela Easton, Camilla, Rebecca Vallance, Samantha Ogilvie, Silk Laundry, Kristian Williams The Brand, Mimco, M.J. Bale, Mitchell Ogilvie, Miss Henry, and more, alongside exclusive collections from QueensPlaza’s Australian designers. It’s a celebration of resort wear—and of Brisbane itself.

“As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Brisbane Fashion Festival, planning is underway for one of our most exciting line-ups yet,” said Festival Director, Lindsay Bennett.

Held from 24–29 August 2025, Brisbane Fashion Festival has long been Queensland’s leading fashion event. From humble beginnings in 2006, it has grown into a nationally recognised showcase of design, creativity, and retail excellence.

In 2025, the Festival returns bigger and bolder, with a full line-up of On- and Off-Runway events now announced. Tickets go on sale Monday 2 June at 9am, and with the 20th anniversary buzz, demand is expected to be higher than ever.

While the Festival will feature a full program throughout the city, it’s the Resort Show at Kangaroo Point that sets the tone—bold, fresh, and distinctly Brisbane.

The Power of Local

Beyond the glamour, the Festival continues its mission to support Queensland’s fashion industry and promote conscious, local shopping. Partnering again with the Brisbane Economic Development Agency, the Festival plays a vital role in driving retail traffic to homegrown designers and labels.

As the first major runway event in Australia to launch Spring/Summer collections, the Festival is perfectly timed to match in-store and online drops. Shoppers can fall in love with looks on the runway and purchase them right away—supporting Australian fashion with each considered buy.

“Since the very first outfit graced the runway in 2006, it’s wonderful that the Fashion Festival has remained a relevant and much-loved event every year,” said Mr Bennett. “Fashion fans can anticipate another incredible week of fashion and spectacle, with an expanded program of On- and Off-Runway events, some thrilling destinations, and of course, a packed program featuring the brightest local, Australian, and next gen fashion talent.”

Ready for the Runway?

Applications are now open for designers to be featured in this year’s Festival, with opportunities to join a program that blends fashion excellence with unique experiences. And with the magic of Kangaroo Point Bridge kicking off the week, 2025 promises a fresh perspective—one that’s stylishly local and proudly Brisbane.

Story Bridge Faces Peak-Hour Gridlock as Protestors Demand Pedestrian Access

The Story Bridge, one of Brisbane’s busiest and most historic crossings, is facing a complete traffic shutdown this Friday morning as local residents prepare to walk across all six lanes in protest over pedestrian access.

The demonstration is scheduled for 8:00 a.m. on Friday, 30 May, and is being organised by local advocates calling for one lane of the bridge to be permanently allocated to cyclists, pedestrians and scooter users. Their demand follows the March closure of both footpaths on the Story Bridge, a decision made by Brisbane City Council due to structural safety concerns.

Footpath Closures Spark Public Backlash

Footpath access was removed in March when engineers discovered accelerated deterioration following preparations for Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Safety checks revealed concrete spalling and corrosion, prompting immediate closures. Council has committed to fast-tracking repairs, including the installation of protective netting, but no exact timeline has been given for reopening the footpaths.

In the meantime, detours via the Kangaroo Point Bridge and public ferry services such as CityCat and KittyKat have been offered as alternatives. Still, many commuters argue these options are inconvenient and poorly integrated into their daily travel.

A Protest on the City’s Artery

Activists say the action is about reclaiming safe access for thousands of daily non-vehicle users who rely on the bridge. Organisers maintain that the protest has been legally lodged with the Queensland Police Service and the council under the Peaceful Assembly Act. They have stated their intention to comply with any lawful directions, including potential court orders.

Local authorities, however, have labelled the protest as dangerous and disruptive, citing concerns for traffic flow and public safety. Brisbane’s Infrastructure Chair Cr Andrew Wines said closing traffic lanes would create gridlock not only on the Story Bridge but across key parts of the inner-city road network, including the Riverside Expressway and Inner City Bypass.

While the protest is not officially connected to any political party or environmental group, the council expressed concern over its scale and timing. LM Adrian Schrinner described it as an attempt to disrupt the city under the banner of community advocacy.

Long-Term Future of the Bridge in Focus

Beyond the current conflict, the situation has highlighted a deeper challenge: the ageing condition of the Story Bridge. A recent restoration committee report shows that despite more than $120 million spent on repairs over the past two decades, the bridge is now nearing the limits of what maintenance alone can achieve.

Built during the Great Depression, the Story Bridge carries more than 100,000 vehicles and up to 4,000 pedestrians and cyclists every day. It’s classified as an “at-risk” structure and is expected to require major restoration to stay operational past 2045. Footpath restoration is considered urgent, with a full business case underway to scope works for the bridge’s 100th anniversary in 2040.

Who Pays for the Fix?

Restoring the Story Bridge will not be cheap. Experts warn the project could cost hundreds of millions of dollars over 15 years, with Brisbane City Council pushing for a funding partnership involving state and federal governments. Without it, the council may need to consider less popular options such as tolls or special rate levies on local ratepayers.

The report also warns that if no action is taken, increasing safety risks could eventually lead to restrictions on freight, public transport and even private vehicles. By 2045, permanent closure is a real possibility.

As the community lines up on both sides of this Friday’s protest, one thing is clear—how Brisbane chooses to move forward with the Story Bridge may shape how the city moves for generations to come.

Plan to Save Story Bridge: 15-Year Roadmap Charts Path to 2040

An independent team of national infrastructure experts has outlined a 15-year roadmap to restore the 85-year-old Story Bridge in time for its centenary in 2040.

Read: Toll Considered as Story Bridge Faces Expensive Restoration

The plan, outlined in a Committee Report, aims to address the wear and tear that naturally occurs in ageing infrastructure and to ensure the iconic structure remains safe and fully operational well into the next century.

The Story Bridge Restoration Committee, chaired by respected Queensland heritage advocate Nigel Chamier AM, was formed to assess the bridge’s condition and provide a long-term strategy. Drawing from years of experience, including leading restorations of Brisbane City Hall and ANZAC Square, Mr Chamier described the task ahead as vital and complex.

“Despite regular maintenance and renewal work by Council, significant investment is needed to restore this iconic structure to ensure it remains safe and operational for another century,” Mr Chamier said.

Constructed between 1935 and 1940, the Story Bridge carries over 100,000 vehicles per day, linking the northern and southern sides of the city. About 42.5 per cent of its daily users travel from outside Brisbane, highlighting the bridge’s regional importance beyond its central location.

Over the past two decades, Brisban has spent more than $120 million maintaining the bridge, including $80 million since 2019 on critical steel and concrete repairs and protective coatings. But experts warn that more substantial restoration is now necessary.

“Restoring the Story Bridge will be challenging, particularly when it comes to securing funding and the necessary resources to ensure critical restoration works can be delivered in the coming years,” Mr Chamier said. “As the Chair of the Committee, I’ve had the benefit of drawing upon the knowledge and vast experiences of infrastructure experts in bridge engineering, asset management and major project financing and delivery.”

While the future funding model for the project remains under development, Brisbane has already partnered with the Federal Government to prepare a detailed business case that will determine final restoration costs. The Committee recommended long-term contributions from local, state, and federal levels, with options such as tolls or levies considered only if necessary.

In the short term, the Committee also called for urgent work on the bridge’s two footpath structures, which were found to be in worse condition than previously thought. Following structural assessments conducted after Tropical Cyclone Alfred, engineers identified concrete spalling and water leakage beneath the paths. Protective netting will be installed, and a temporary structure may be added to one side ahead of a full restoration.

Events on the footpaths have been suspended since January 2025, and pedestrians and cyclists have been redirected via the Kangaroo Point Green Bridge. While detour options are being explored, closing a traffic lane on the Story Bridge for shared pedestrian use has been ruled out due to the potential for widespread disruption on nearby roads and motorways.

The Story Bridge holds a unique place in Queensland’s history. Originally operated as a toll road, it has stood as a vital transport link and a piece of architectural heritage since the 1940s.

“The Restoration Committee will continue to support Council and its funding partners to oversee this critical project to ensure the bridge’s safety, functionality, and enduring legacy is preserved for future generations,” Mr Chamier said.

As Brisbane grows and transforms, the careful restoration of the Story Bridge is not just about maintaining infrastructure—it’s about honouring the past while building for the future.

Toll Considered as Story Bridge Faces Expensive Restoration

Kangaroo Point’s iconic Story Bridge could soon see tolls return for the first time in nearly 80 years, as the city faces a multi-million-dollar restoration challenge to keep the ageing structure safe for future use.

Read: Story Bridge Footpaths Closure Forces Thousands into Difficult Commute

An independent review has revealed the scale of the challenge ahead, suggesting that a full restoration is essential to keep the bridge safely operational for future generations. However, the price tag attached to this restoration is well beyond the financial means of Brisbane alone.

In response, several funding options are being considered, including a revival of tolls, which haven’t been seen on the bridge since the 1940s. Other ideas on the table include a coordinated funding approach between council, state and federal governments, the introduction of a special rates levy, or support from corporate sponsorship.

“In recent years, we’ve invested $80 million in critical restoration work. But with 42% of bridge traffic coming from outside Brisbane, it’s only fair that other levels of government pitch in,” said Cr Adrian Schrinner.

While the return of tolls would be unpopular with many commuters, it remains one of the few viable ways to fund the extensive works required.

The committee tasked with assessing the bridge’s condition also found urgent repairs needed for its pedestrian pathways. A recent structural review—conducted after a tropical cyclone—uncovered more severe damage than previously understood, with water seeping through parts of the concrete structure.

Despite years of ongoing maintenance, experts believe the bridge has reached a point where only a large-scale restoration can guarantee its future. The task ahead is not just one of engineering, but also of political and financial cooperation. Without a committed partnership across levels of government and community support, one of Brisbane’s most recognisable landmarks may face a very different future—possibly one with toll booths once again.

As the city considers its options, the Story Bridge remains a powerful symbol—not just of Brisbane’s past, but also of the tough choices needed to secure its infrastructure for the years to come.

A stunning sub-penthouse in Brisbane’s exclusive River Place Apartments has commanded top dollar, setting a new price point for CBD living.

The property at 319/82 Boundary Street, Brisbane City has sold for $4,000,000, placing it among the top sales in Brisbane City and adding momentum to Brisbane’s growing prestige market. Handled by Colin Walsh of Ray White Inner Brisbane Apartments, the sale took place on 17 April 2025 and marks a significant increase from its previous sale price of $3,150,000 in October 2023.

About the Property

This iconic River Place Apartments residence offers sophisticated urban living with unparalleled views of the Brisbane River, City skyline, and Story Bridge.

Set on a 300m² floor plan (225m² internal, 75m² external), the home features:

4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms plus powder room
Recently renovated gourmet kitchen with luxury fixtures and impressive marble benchtops
Expansive 75sqm apartment-width balcony showcasing spectacular river and city views
Multiple living areas including separate formal dining and generous home office
Three storage areas including an extra-large 18sqm storage space
Two side-by-side secure car spaces

Location & Lifestyle

Brisbane City is known for its exclusive riverfront residences and vibrant urban lifestyle. The home sits just minutes from Howard Smith Wharves and within walking distance of Eagle Street Pier, the new Albert Street Station, and the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane precinct.

Why This Sale Stands Out

Last sold for $3,150,000 in October 2023 – representing 27% growth in just 18 months
Previous sale history shows long-term value appreciation from $1,250,000 in 2000 to $4,000,000 in 2025
Features rare sub-penthouse positioning on the 36th floor with panoramic river views
Offers one of the largest private balconies in Brisbane’s CBD apartment market

This sale demonstrates the rising ceiling for top-tier apartments in Brisbane City and suggests increasing demand for prestige properties with views, space, and prime positioning.

Street Profile & Sales Context

The River Place Apartments complex is highly sought after by buyers locally and internationally for its exclusive facilities and prime location.

Properties in this building are typically tightly held, and this particular sub-penthouse offers what many consider the best floor plan in the building, with River Place maintaining strong value even during market fluctuations.

“This stunning sub-penthouse represents the pinnacle of Brisbane CBD living,” said Colin Walsh, from Ray White Inner Brisbane Apartments.

This sale at 319/82 Boundary Street is not just a record-breaker — it’s a story of luxury, location, and the continuing rise of Brisbane City as one of Brisbane’s most desirable addresses for discerning apartment buyers.

Kangaroo Point Hosts Launch of Queensland’s New Tourism Campaign ‘That Holiday Feeling’

Kangaroo Point played host to a vibrant moment for Queensland tourism, with the launch of a bold new brand designed to capture the spirit of the Sunshine State. That Holiday Feeling was officially announced on the Brisbane River, marking the first major milestone in a 20-year plan to grow Queensland’s visitor economy.

Developed by Tourism and Events Queensland, the brand goes beyond promoting destinations — it taps into an emotional connection. That Holiday Feeling repositions Queensland not just as a place to visit, but as a state of mind, where travellers can feel free, refreshed, and inspired.

The campaign celebrates the incredible diversity across Queensland’s 13 tourism regions, from the natural wonders of the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsundays, to the buzzing city life of Brisbane and the wide-open landscapes of the Outback.

Adding a contemporary twist, the brand launch features breathtaking imagery and a modern reimagining of the 1980s classic hit Holiday, performed by Queensland-born singer-songwriter Kita Alexander. The soundtrack perfectly complements the campaign’s invitation for visitors to experience iconic destinations while discovering new corners of the State.

Tourism and Events Queensland CEO Craig Davidson said the new identity was shaped in close collaboration with the tourism industry, ensuring it offers lasting value to operators and communities alike.

“This brand isn’t just a campaign — it’s a long-term platform the industry can take ownership of and activate in their own way,” Mr Davidson said.

It’s flexible, inclusive, and distinctly Queensland, and it gives us a fresh way to show the world why we’re one of the most sought-after destinations on the planet. At the heart of it all is a feeling we know visitors associate with Queensland: joy, connection and a sense of being totally present. That’s what this brand is all about.
Craig Davidson, CEO at Tourism and Events Queensland

Queensland’s visitor economy is already on a strong footing, welcoming more than 28 million travellers last year. The new brand aims to build on that success, unifying the State’s tourism story ahead of major global events, including the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Did you know that, in a world-first for inclusive adventure tourism, wheelchair users are now able to participate in guided climbs to the top of the Story Bridge? From the Howard Smith Wharves base, a special technology is used to ensure safe movement across inclines, with ergonomic and safety elements to ensure an enjoyable and inclusive climbing experience to the top of iconic bridge.

Custom Technology Enables Inclusive Access

The accessible climb includes a motorised stair climber wheelchair that has been specifically designed for the Story Bridge. The wheelchair incorporates advanced technology to ensure safe movement across inclines and features ergonomic and safety elements suited for the climb environment.

This initiative was made possible by a $250,000 grant through the State’s Accessible Tourism Elevate Fund.

Design Collaboration and Testing

The accessible climb system was co-designed by tourism operator John Sharpe, Box Wheelchairs’ Mike Box, and wheelchair motocross athlete Timothy Lachlan, who also took part in testing and refinement. The system has been customised to meet high safety standards and to accommodate the structural features of the Story Bridge.

Climb Details and Participation

The new experience allows for up to nine participants per session, with a maximum of one wheelchair user supported by at least three companions. Each climb runs for 2.5 to 3 hours and includes commentary on Brisbane’s history, a group photo, and a commemorative cap.

The climb begins from the Story Bridge Adventure Climb headquarters at Howard Smith Wharves, near the bridge’s Kangaroo Point connection.

Local and State Support

City officials and community figures attended a launch event at the climb site, acknowledging the climb as a boost to local tourism ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Stakeholders said the initiative aligns with increasing demand for accessible experiences in Brisbane and broader Queensland.

Research cited by the operator indicated that three in five Brisbane residents see accessibility as a key priority for the city’s development.

Ongoing Significance for Kangaroo Point

While the climb base is located at Howard Smith Wharves, the Story Bridge remains a major landmark for both sides of the river, including Kangaroo Point. The development enhances visitor engagement with the bridge and its surrounding areas, offering new tourism opportunities and increased visibility for accessibility-focused infrastructure.

Conclusion and Future Outlook

The accessible bridge climb positions Brisbane as a leader in inclusive tourism. It is expected to attract domestic and international interest. It represents a broader shift towards infrastructure and tourism services that cater to a wider range of physical needs, with more initiatives likely to emerge ahead of major international events in 2032.

Veteran Police Officer Injured on Story Bridge: Community Rallies with Fundraiser

It was meant to be a relaxing bike ride — a routine loop from the local pool back home to Kangaroo Point, crossing the Story Bridge. But in a split second, that familiar journey turned into a life-altering event for Senior Sergeant Andrew Pool. A collision with a pedestrian on the bridge’s shared pathway left the veteran police officer with a traumatic brain injury, kicking off a medical ordeal that has stretched over nine months and changed the course of his life forever.

Read: Story Bridge Restoration Moves Forward with Business Case Funding

Now, a community-driven GoFundMe campaign is rallying support for Pool — affectionately known as “Pooly” — to help him continue his long and challenging road to recovery.

A respected member of the Queensland Police Service for more than 30 years, Pool dedicated much of his career to serving in northern Queensland, including work in First Nations communities. More recently, he had transferred to Brisbane’s Domestic and Family Violence Unit, where he supported some of the state’s most vulnerable people.

Following the accident, he spent ten weeks in a coma, underwent multiple procedures, and remains in hospital undergoing intensive rehabilitation. With limited mobility and reliant on a wheelchair, he now faces months — if not years — of ongoing therapy and support.

To ease the growing costs of care, the fundraiser aims to provide a modified electric vehicle so Pool can travel to outpatient appointments and regain a sense of independence.

“We’re raising funds for an electric vehicle (to be modified to Pooly’s needs) to ease the financial burden of transport and fuel costs. If we exceed our goal, any extra funds will go towards modified furniture and other equipment not otherwise covered and will directly support Pooly’s continued recovery,” wrote his wife Bronte, who co-organises the campaign.

The response so far has reflected the impact Pool made throughout his career. Former colleagues, community members, and the Queensland Police Union have all stepped up to offer support — financial and emotional — in recognition of a man who gave so much to others.

The campaign offers a chance to give back to someone who stood by others in their hardest moments. To help support Pooly’s recovery journey, visit the GoFundMe page and share his story.

Evans Deakin Shipyard: Brisbane’s Wartime Engine of Industry

Photo Credit: Queensland State Archives/Facebook

Evans Deakin Shipyard in Brisbane became one of Australia’s largest wartime shipbuilding sites, producing vital vessels for the Royal Australian Navy during WWII.

One of the Largest Shipbuilding Sites During the War

Brisbane’s Evans Deakin Shipyard quietly powered Australia’s wartime strength, becoming one of the nation’s largest shipbuilding sites during World War II.

*Photo Credit: Queensland State Archives/Facebook*

Located on the banks of the Brisbane River at Kangaroo Point, the shipyard helped fuel the Allied war effort by producing dozens of naval and merchant vessels at a time when the country needed them most.

Built for War

Founded in 1910 as an engineering supplier, Evans Deakin shifted to shipbuilding during World War II. In 1940, it acquired Moar’s Slip in Brisbane and developed it into a modern dockyard to meet rising naval demands.

Government departments, including Harbours and Marine, helped purchase and upgrade the site. By 1942, Evans Deakin was building ships to transport troops, fuel, and equipment across the Pacific.

A Homefront Contribution

Evans Deakin Shipyard partnered with the Commonwealth Marine Engine Works (CMEW) in Rocklea, which produced steam engines for the Kangaroo Point ships. Together, they formed a coordinated wartime effort to build vessels locally and reduce reliance on imports.

At its peak, the shipyard was one of Australia’s largest. Its first major build was the Rocklea, a 1,200-ton fuel lighter for the Navy. It later produced “River Class” cargo ships for war efforts and the Robert Miller, the Brisbane River’s largest ship, which broke free in the 1974 flood. The last vessel built at Kangaroo Point was the Southern Cross oil rig in 1976.

After the War

After World War II, Evans Deakin continued operating at Kangaroo Point into the 1970s, building commercial ships and locomotives, supporting Brisbane’s post-war industrial economy.

In 1980, Evans Deakin acquired Walkers Limited and later Clyde Engineering. In 2001, it merged with Downer & Company to form Downer EDI. While the original shipyard is now residential and marina space, remnants of the dry dock and infrastructure still reflect Brisbane’s wartime past.

A Place in History

In 2019, Evans Deakin was inducted into the Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame for its wartime contributions and engineering excellence, recognizing its key role in strengthening Australia’s industrial capabilities.

A monument in Captain Burke Park at Kangaroo Point honours Evans Deakin & Company, standing as a tribute to the company’s vital contributions to Australia’s maritime history.
