Construction Activities: February 2026

Welcome to the February 2026 Construction Update of the Northshore Hamilton Street Renewal Program (SRP). The SRP is being constructed by BMD and will prepare the western end of the precinct (adjacent to Portside Wharf) for six new development lots planned for mixed-use residential development in accordance with the Northshore Hamilton PDA Development Scheme.

Construction of Stage 1 and Stage 2 Work Zones, shown on the map below, will continue throughout 2026. BMD will continue to keep the community informed and provide monthly notifications of upcoming work and what to expect.

From mid‑2026, upgrade works on MacArthur Avenue between Finnegan Street and Theodore Street will commence. These works will require closing the western section of MacArthur Avenue and redirecting traffic to Theodore Street and the eastern reaches of the precinct. A temporary road will be created to maintain direct access for eastern residents and tenancies. More information on the closure and temporary road access will be provided in future updates.

Map of Work Zones

Car park changes

The Yard Car Park is now open, with access available via Theodore Street and MacArthur Avenue. Dock A Car Park is now closed for general parking; however, the EV charging stations at Dock A remain open and accessible.

EDQ advises that parking on EDQ-owned land is provided to support tenants and their patrons. For more information or to enquire further please go to Northshore Hamilton | Have Your Say.

Wharf Street Temporary Park

Adjustments to the temporary park will continue in February 2026. The adjustments involve:

• fencing changes that will create two separate spaces and safely fence the children’s play area
• footpath construction
• vegetation removal
• relocation of the water drinking fountain and tap.

Park and playground equipment access will be maintained while this work is taking place.

BMD will carry out vegetation removal on Wednesday, 21 January 2026. This work is pending weather and site conditions permitting. The vegetation to be removed is circled in red in the image below.

Wharf Work Zone

Demolition of the existing wharf parallel to the Brisbane River and Stage 1 Work Zone is underway. This work will involve environmental monitoring and the safe removal of timber and materials.

Stage 1 Work Zone

Demolition and site clearing in Stage 1 include:

• delivery and removal of plant, materials and equipment
• asphalting and concreting
• fencing adjustments
• tree and vegetation removal
• earthworks
• service locating.

Stage 2 Work Zone

Earthworks continue in Stage 2; other work includes the delivery and removal of plant, materials and equipment and material stockpiling.

Activities across all work zones

Other intermittent activities within and near the work zones, including the future work zones of MacArthur Avenue and the intersection of MacArthur Avenue, Finnegan Street and Wharf Street, will include movement of materials and equipment between work zones, surveying and service location environmental monitoring.

Work impacts

Throughout construction, we will provide notifications of upcoming work. Measures will be in place to monitor our activities and adjust our controls as needed to minimise impact on the community.

• Traffic changes: Detours and changed conditions may be required near work zones. Please follow signage and traffic controllers.
• Noise, dust and vibration: These works will generate noise, dust and vibration.
• Increased activity: Expect more workers and construction vehicle movements around the precinct. Equipment may include excavators, vac trucks, profilers, haulage vehicles, hand tools, concrete saws, generators, concrete trucks and pumps, water trucks and misting cannons.
• Utilities: Some activities may temporarily impact utility services. A written notice will be provided at least seven (7) days in advance where disruptions are expected.
• Hazardous materials: Any hazardous material removal, including asbestos, will be managed safely by qualified personnel.
• Tree and vegetation removal: Some removal may be required within or near work zones to support safe construction of the SRP.

• 6.30am to 6.00pm Monday to Thursday
