THE BARRACKS PRECINCT
Walking along Caxton Street to the football will never be the same again once the Petrie Barracks Precinct is complete. About 200 young property professionals gathered at this month’s Future Directions event to hear how this dormant and derelict precinct would be transformed into an upmarket retail, commercial and leisure precinct, with over 10,000m2 of office space already pre committed to Hatch Engineering.

The night was 'kicked off' with Kevin Miller (Managing Director - Property Solutions Group) and David Bewerly (Development Manager – QM Properties), who gave an insight into the commercial success of the development and QM Properties' intention to retain the property post completion.

Andrew Gutteridge (Director - Arkhefield) then stole the show with his colourful and detailed presentation of the development, which highlighted how “new can meet old” in a stylish and complimentary manner.

Deputy Lord Mayor Councillor David Hinchliffe then spoke of his long standing aspirations for the site and how excited he was that the development had finally been given the go-ahead after 17 years.

Andrew spoke in depth, and David reconfirmed, the successful collaborative approach between all stakeholders to deliver a commercially viable, yet respectful outcome to a site which is heavily constrained and rich in heritage.

Future Directions applauds this approach and hopes the Council and other regulatory authorities continue to work with developers as Brisbane evolves, and the Urban Renewal visions are delivered.

On behalf of the Future Directions Committee and all attendees, we would like to thank all of the evening's speakers for a fantastic and informing presentation.
