Queen's Wharf Brisbane
The Queensland Government announced on 20 July 2015 that Echo Entertainment as 50% joint venture partner of the "Destination Brisbane Consortium" was the preferred tenderer for Queen's Wharf, Brisbane, beating rival Crown Resorts. The development will feature 2000 apartments and 1100 new hotel rooms. Echo has two Hong-Kong based joint venture partners Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and Far East Consortium. The two joint venture partners will each contribute 25 per cent of the capital to develop the integrated resort and will also jointly pay for the apartment and broader Queen's Wharf developments. The development will include four, five and six-star hotels including the Ritz-Carlton and Rosewood. A feature of the development is stated to be the area along the river front equalling 12 football fields of public space. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk stated that the integrated resort and casino would transform Brisbane's CBD in the same way the South Bank development did after Expo88 almost 30 years ago. The project will create 3000 constructions jobs and 8,000 permanent jobs. The economic modelling indicates a $1.69 billion annual increase in Queensland tourism and 1.39 million additional tourist visitors per annum. The Courier-Mail stated that $3 billion project is the biggest and most grandiose infrastructure development ever undertaken in the state's capital. The Australian Financial Review stated that the $2 billion Queen's Wharf is Brisbane's version of Sydney's Barangaroo stating that the available public realm is massive "bigger than Barangaroo" quoting Urbis (consulting firm) which has estimated that at a peak capacity up to 190,000 people could fit into the site for events.
