Waterfront Brisbane is a $2.5 billion city-shaping development that will transform the former site of Eagle Street Pier into a global-standard business and tourist destination. The project has incorporated circular economy principles and is achieving new sustainability benchmarks in recycling and re-use.

Waterfront Brisbane comprises two new office towers, a vibrant riverfront retail precinct, expanded public space including the widening of the riverwalk, and the recently opened destination dining experience at the refurbished Naldham House.  

Working in partnership with our builder, the project is targeting the removal of 25,000 tonnes of waste material at development completion and has set a new industry benchmark, achieving a 98% recycling rate for all construction and demolition waste from the site to date.

We have partnered with leading Queensland waste recycling and recovery company, Rino Recycling, to reclaim construction and demolition waste and refine it in their world-first facility. At Waterfront Brisbane, waste concrete is washed, crushed and converted into new building material for civil and construction projects, including at Dexus’s new industrial estate, Crossbank at Hemmant.  

 
We have also partnered with Australian research design and manufacturing studio, Five Mile Radius, to create furniture and architectural elements manufactured entirely from recycled construction material from the Waterfront Brisbane site for use in the public realm. 

With a focus on re-use, the development team has found a new home for Eagle Street Pier’s commercial kitchen equipment and fixtures. Dining tables and chairs, light fittings, artwork and plants from the Pier’s hospitality operations have been repurposed to Peggy Place, Queensland's largest shelter for women and children fleeing domestic violence.
