Australia’s Star Entertainment Group has unveiled artistic impressions of its new Sky Deck at Queen’s Wharf Brisbane – part of the AU$3.6 billion (US$2.5 billion) development set to open in stages from late 2023.
To be located 100 meters above the Brisbane River, the crescent-shaped Sky Deck will offer a vista that stretches from the CBD to Moreton Bay and Mt Coot-tha and is set to become a major tourism drawcard for the river city.
“The Sky Deck will be the centrepiece for the game-changing $3.6 billion riverside development,” said Star Managing Director and CEO Robbie Cooke
“It will be a must-visit Queensland tourism destination attracting millions of international and interstate visitors in the run up to the 2032 Olympic Games. Importantly, it will also be a source of immense pride for locals.
“The Sky Deck will be a first for Brisbane. It will be open day and night, 365 days a year for up to 1,500 people as somewhere to celebrate a special event, to bring visiting friends and family or even as a meeting place for a drink after work.
“It’s a 250-meter long open-air rooftop with a signature restaurant, all day casual dining and a hero bar as well as a sky-high events space and a glass floor viewing platform at the mid-way mark to further enhance the incredible views.
“It will come to rival Australia’s most photographed iconic locations, such as the Sydney Opera House or Melbourne’s laneways, offering spectacular backdrops of Brisbane for snaps and social media posts, day and night.”

Star said the second bridge of the Sky Deck soon to be lifted into place to link The Star Grand Hotel to the Residential Tower.
Destination Brisbane Consortium Project Director Simon Crooks said the Sky Deck progress was proof of Queensland’s ability to set Australian construction benchmarks.
“The upcoming second bridge link will be more complex than the first with three sections weighing 220-tonnes coming together on the podium before being safely jacked into place directly above William Street,” Crooks said.
“It really is a unique engineering feat with the third, final and largest sky deck bridge link expected to be installed in the coming months completing the distinctive arc shape.”
When complete, Queen’s Wharf Brisbane – a joint venture between The Star Entertainment Group alongside its Hong Kong-based partners Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and Far East Consortium – will feature a world-class casino, four new luxury hotels, more than 50 new bars and restaurants, around 1,500 residential apartments and more than 12 football fields of public space.
