Question 1

Is South Bank a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

South Bank is a riverside precinct on the southern bank of the Brisbane River, centred on the Parklands and a wide promenade that draws locals and visitors year round. It is home to major cultural institutions such as the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art, the Queensland Museum and the performing arts centre, and includes the city’s man-made swimming beach, regular markets and festivals. The suburb is dominated by modern apartments and riverfront towers, with lively cafés and restaurants on Grey Street, good ferry and bus links and plenty of pedestrian and cycle routes for an inner-city, culture-focused lifestyle.

A long-term master plan sets a 30-year blueprint for the 42-hectare precinct and prioritises the southern and northern gateways and Grey Street, including a revitalised Cultural Forecourt and improved active-transport connections. Draft designs for a Grey Street bikeway and streetscape have been through public consultation, promenade renewal and ferry pontoon works have been progressed, and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s new Glasshouse Theatre has been handed over and is opening. If you value close access to culture, riverside amenity and strong public transport links, South Bank could suit an inner-city, culture-focused way of life.
