Dock A, B, C and D Car Parks
EDQ provides parking facilities on EDQ owned land (Dock A, B, C, and D car parks) to support businesses and activations such as Eat Street, Superordinary, Flipside Circus, and Bluey's World.
The Northshore Hamilton Priority Development Area (PDA) was declared on 27 March 2008. The current Northshore Hamilton PDA Development Scheme, amended on 28 October 2022, assists EDQ as landowner, master developer and planning authority with planning, delivering, promoting and coordinating development across the PDA.
Northshore Brisbane is the largest waterfront urban renewal projects in Queensland and plays a defining role in shaping the future of Brisbane.
Over the next 20 years, this 304-hectare precinct will transform from an industrial area into a vibrant riverside precinct which stretches 2.5 kilometres along the Brisbane River.
For 100 years the wharves at Hamilton were the place Queensland exported its best to the world. Now Northshore Brisbane operates a different shipping schedule. Just six kilometres from the CBD you'll find luxury river homes and apartments fit for a captain, a hub of experiential arts and cultural experiences you'll want to write home about, and some of the most exciting cuisines in the world. This iconic stretch of water is transforming from working dock into Brisbane's connected, sustainable and welcoming riverfront precinct.
Northshore Brisbane is also a new business district, a hub of business innovation, from start-ups to global giants.
EDQ provides parking facilities on EDQ owned land (Dock A, B, C, and D car parks) to support businesses and activations such as Eat Street, Superordinary, Flipside Circus, and Bluey's World.
Construction activities are underway to deliver the Northshore Brisbane Street Renewal Program.
EDQ appreciates that development of this scale effects the people who live and work locally. We are committed to engaging with the community and stakeholders throughout every stage of Northshore Brisbane’s development.

If you would like to ask us a new question about the Northshore project, please do so here.
Thanks for your response, however can you advise why the right turn lane allowing cars to turn into the carpark and que in that lane - always available and open - is closed when controllers are actually allowing motorists in at that entry? Makes sense if the entry is closed; but no sense when its open. Can you advise?
We understand that your query relates to the temporary closure of the right-turn lane into the Dock C/Eat Street carpark off MacArthur Avenue and its impact on traffic flow—particularly for vehicles travelling straight ahead.
The current traffic control arrangement is implemented by Eat Street during peak times and is in accordance with a Traffic Management Plan approved by Brisbane City Council.
If we have not accurately captured your concern, please provide a contact phone number and we would be happy to call and clarify.
There is a right turn lane off Macarthur avenue for patrons travelling East down Macarthur Avenue to turn into the Dock C carpark/Eat Street carpark. Traffic controllers close off this right turn lane (even when they are allowing people to enter the car park from this entry point) meaning there is a long traffic que while drivers stop to speak to the controllers before they allow access which wouldn't occur if the turn lane was open (or to a much lesser extent). It holds up residents going home
Thank you for your feedback.
Traffic control at the Dock C Car Park is implemented by Eat Street during busy weekend trading to support safe access. We appreciate this can affect vehicle flow on MacArthur Avenue for brief periods.
To avoid congestion, you may wish to consider the alternative route via MacArthur Avenue north off Theodore Street, and bypass Dock C during these periods.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your observations.
You say the Olympic athletes' village is going to Northshore. I thought the government announced recently that it was not going to Northshore?
We appreciate your interest in recent changes across the precinct, including the relocation of the Brisbane Athletes’ Village. EDQ is currently reviewing and updating its website and communication materials to reflect these changes.
I want to learn how urban developers are working with waterways.
Thank you for your enquiry and interest in Northshore Brisbane. EDQ incorporates water-sensitive design and considers ecological values in planning for the precinct. While no specific mangrove restoration activities are currently underway, we work closely with urban design experts to ensure all projects support sustainable outcomes along the waterfront. We encourage you to stay connected as planning and project delivery progress by registering for updates.
There have been the two recent power outages at Hamilton Reach. Can EDQ advise if there are plans to upgrade the network to ensure residents don’t continue to get these failures?
Energex are responsible for the stability of power supply to Northshore and the ongoing network planning including the Street Renewal Program (SRP). The SRP will include upgraded electrical infrastructure to the footprint of the SRP. The SRP electrical reticulation design allows for the implementation of further upgrades by Energex to support the existing loads of the surrounding area. However, this may not correct the problem that has caused the blackouts and EDQ recommend anyone affected contact Energex - Contact Us | Energex.
There is water leaking from the Bluey’s World site onto the riverfront pathway, what is being done to fix this issue?
The Bluey’s World team is aware of this issue and apologises for any inconvenience this leak may cause.
Bluey’s World team have a number of technicians working on the leak which is coming from the site’s air conditioning units. EDQ have been advised the water leak is uncontaminated and that technicians are working to resolve the issue before the end of the week.
Bluey’s World team will clear any remaining residue when the water leak is resolved.
Can we have off street overnight carparking for residents please? Could be Swipe card access that you have to provide proof of local residency to park at? Maybe 1 spot per household? There is no room for larger cars that residents own or thier guests for O/N parking. Would stop illegal parking.
Thank you for your enquiry regarding overnight parking for residents and visitors.
Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) provides parking facilities on EDQ owned land (Dock A, B, C, and D car parks) to support businesses and activations such as Eat Street, Pink Flamingo, Superordinary, Flipside Circus, and the soon to open Bluey's World. These car parks operate between 6am and 11:30pm to align with the business hours of these establishments.
EDQ car parks should only be used in accordance with the car parking terms and conditions displayed on entry. EDQ continues to monitor its premises, with vehicles parked overnight facing the risk of being towed.
How many bedrooms will the apartments plan to have in the new social housing complex have?
The Brisbane Housing Company (BCH) has submitted a development application proposing to construct and manage 201 social and affordable homes on an 8,000 m² site at 17 Karakul Road.
BCH’s development application plans for a mix of one, two and three bedroom apartments. You can view the development application here. Please note, Economic Development Queensland’s planning team is currently assessing the application against the Northshore Hamilton PDA Development Scheme.

Please give clearer description on no. of stories on housing developments eg developments on Curtain ave will be 8 stories high
The Northshore Hamilton PDA Development Scheme is the regulatory document which assists with planning, carrying out, promoting, coordinating and controlling land development within the PDA. You can review this document here.
For specific advice on building heights, please refer to Map 7: Building Heights, on page 29 of the Development Scheme. This map identifies the preferred maximum building height permitted for various locations.
Please note EDQ’s assessment of building heights requires consideration of multiple factors, including but not limited to, built form outcomes, relationship with and potential impacts on surrounding buildings (e.g., access to sunlight, overshadowing, privacy, air circulation and wind movement), reverse amenity (noise, air quality, odour), as well as operational airspace as identified in section 2.5.9.2.
To check if a development application within the Northshore Hamilton PDA has been lodged or decided, please visit EDQ’s website here.
Please ensure you are registered on this Have Your Say page to be kept up to date with details of future developments.
The fast chargers that were available at Dock D were shut down for Bluey World. Although there is a single slow charger available, will there be additional fast chargers made available at any Dock Parking sites in the near future for the increase in EV cars.
Economic Development Queensland is continuing to support an energy supplier to install a new fast EV charging site within the Northshore Brisbane precinct.
Once more information about the opening of the new site is available, EDQ will provide an update on the Northshore Brisbane "Have Your Say" page. EV users can also receive further information via the Chargefox app, available at www.chargefox.com.
In the interim, to find nearby EV public chargers, please visit https://abetterrouteplanner.com or https://www.plugshare.com.
