It’s worth a quick drive down Grey Street at the moment. With scaffolding starting to come down on two of the iner-city’s biggest construction sites you can get a first look at the mammoth extension to the Convention Centre (pictured today) and, directly across the street, the new Queensland headquarters for the ABC.
The ABC’s 400+ staff will be moving in early in the New Year so local landlords should benefit from that extra demand. We understand parking will be an issue for them so no doubt there’ll be interest in moving nearby. The extra crowds at the Convention Centre will no doubt boost demand for our local hotel rooms and there’s always positive spin-offs for the area when we have more visitors spending money.
Good times indeed for South Bank!
I’ve just had the best dinner experience for a long time. Last night we checked out the Satay Hut in Grey Street, South Bank. We’d probably been seated for about 15 minutes when quick as a flash our meals arrived. Whilst I’m definitely no master chef, the crispy duck was crisp and the salt and pepper bugs simply melt in your mouth. The wine selection was good and I enjoyed a nice bottle of Barwick Estates Shiraz (okay, maybe a little too much!) If you fancy casual Asian dining, you should definitely check out this popular South Bank local.
