Business leaders are being encouraged to apply for a chance to shape communities around Melbourne through the Victorian Government’s Metropolitan Partnership program.

The Queensland Government has appointed a new South Bank Corporation Board to deliver a master plan for the precinct.

South Bank Corporation is responsible for the planning and development of the South Bank Precinct, with Parklands management undertaken by Brisbane City Council, under contract with South Bank Corporation and the Queensland Government.

Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning Cameron Dick said the new board had a wealth of experience in urban planning, infrastructure and governance.

“Thirty years on from Expo ’88 and South Bank continues to evolve as one of Australia’s most vibrant urban cultural precincts,” Dick said.
