Northshore / Hamilton Reach Community Update

Hi everyone,

We wanted to share the latest updates following a recent meeting with Economic Development Queensland (EDQ).

🚧 Temporary Access Road & Traffic Changes
The temporary access road is expected to open by late August. This will involve a part road closure of Macarthur Ave South and part of Theodore Street.

Speed limit: 40km/h
Access: Local traffic only, through to Portside
The bus stop on Theodore Street will also be relocated

We’ll keep you updated as this progresses.

🏗️ Development Updates

Rockpool is expected to be operational by mid-2026
Silverstone:
Stage 1 completion in Q1 2027
Stage 2 completion mid-2027

🎟️ Bluey’s World
Bluey's World is continuing to operate. Tickets are released a few months at a time, and there are no current plans for closure.

🏢 Curtin Ave Land Use
Some EDQ-owned lots on Curtin Ave are being leased, mostly for storage use, with minimal expected traffic impact.

📈 What to Expect as Northshore Grows

As development continues, the area will evolve significantly:

Population growth – which should support improved public transport over time
More local amenities – including cafes, a small grocery offering, boutique retail, and a wellness centre as part of upcoming developments
Parking pressure – increased demand for street parking is expected
Council will increase patrols for illegal/dangerous parking
Timed parking is being considered in some areas
If you currently store vehicles on the street long-term, you may want to explore alternative options
Increased activity and noise – this will gradually become more noticeable as new developments open

Over time, the density of the area is expected to become similar to Newstead / Teneriffe.

🚦 Traffic & Congestion

EDQ are aware of traffic light timing issues when exiting Theodore Street onto Kingsford Smith Drive during peak times. This is being monitored in ongoing discussions with Council.

If you experience delays, please report them to Brisbane City Council:
📞 07 3403 8888
📱 Snap Send Solve (include time of day and length of delay if possible)

💬 Have Your Say

Residents are encouraged to share feedback directly with EDQ via their consultation page:
https://www.yoursay.edq.qld.gov.au/northshore

We’ll continue to keep the community updated as more information becomes available.

22/03/2026

A temporary road closure tomorrow March 24th for the removal of two containers located in front of Bluey’s World.

Date: Tuesday 24th March from 06:30 to 11:00am

This will be undertaken in line with the same methodology used during the original installation,
with works programmed to minimise any disruption to surrounding properties and road users.
