While our destinations have evolved considerably since the Corporation’s inception, the development phase we have now entered will take us to another level and enhance South Bank Corporation’s reputation as one of Australia’s most dynamic public place managers. The emergence of new public spaces is coupled with a strong financial result which underscores the success of the activities during 2008-09. Improving Financial Performance We recorded an improved net cash flow for 2009 of $5.6 million excluding extraordinary government grants; this contribution reflects a positive swing of $7.1 million when compared to last year’s results. The significant improvement in operating performance and cash flows is derived from higher contributions from retail rental income and car parking, sustained revenue and profitability of the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, revenue generated by the completion of long term lease agreements over development property, and a reduction in asset re-investment costs. The enhanced trading performance of our retail assets minimised the negative impact of market revaluations across the investment property portfolio of $2 million (3.8 percent of asset value). 4 | SOUTH BANK CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09 Given the retail appetite for the South Bank precinct, we look visitors to enjoy. As Brisbane’s population increases, we are forward to expanding the Corporation’s income producing asset forward planning to create new multi-use public spaces so base over the next year. Continued commercial and residential that visitors take full advantage of our authentic, world-class growth within the immediate area has aided the ongoing destination. demand for development opportunities (generating profits in favour of the Corporation).

The Emergence of New Quality Public Spaces For several years, South Bank Corporation has worked in partnership with the State Government, Brisbane City Council, Brisbane Marketing, Tourism Queensland and current and prospective partners to promote the South Bank precinct to the Steve Wilson people of Brisbane as a place where they can enjoy an array of CHAIRMAN great experiences, unlike anything else in Brisbane. We have implemented a number of major initiatives to increase the quality and quantity of green space. We have created two hectares of new open space on Little Stanley Street, which has contributed to the vibrancy and variety of experiences for SOUTH BANK CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09 | 5 Chief Executive Officer’s Report Responding to the Challenges This year South Bank Corporation faced diverse challenges arising from a market which is placing greater demands on our precinct as well as a rapidly growing inner-city population. In taking up these challenges, we have continued to invest in planning for the future by improving the quality and accessibility of our spaces. We are confident that this investment will deliver the best results for Queensland. While our focus was on several large and significant developments, including the expansion of the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre, the Corporation is redoubling its efforts to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction and meaningful visitor experiences. Expanding on our Delivery Capability This year marked the announcement that the Parklands will see one of the most significant design changes in over ten years through the redevelopment of the original Boardwalk site. This exciting public space will deliver 70 metres of new riverfront parkland for the people of Brisbane to enjoy. Visitors will be able to engage with the river more than ever; realising a long-held dream to revitalise our city’s relationship with the river. In a major coup for the precinct, we also announced that the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) headquarters will be relocating to the precinct. Our cultural and educational partners as well as the wider Brisbane population will benefit from having a state-of-the-art media centre in the heart of the 6 | SOUTH BANK CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09 city where they can see and learn about how electronic media I want to personally thank all staff for their ongoing operates, a Brisbane first. commitment and their desire to take our organisation to a new level.

This is in spite of a range of challenges facing the sector, from weathering the impacts of the global financial crisis to meeting the changing demands of servicing wider and more diverse communities. Local government amalgamations continue to reshape the operations of council owned/run galleries and the role of their professional staff, while volunteer-run galleries face the ongoing concerns of collection management and preservation and issues of succession planning. RGAQ’s network of Queensland regional galleries is continuing to grow, with new galleries being opened in Roma, Clifton, the Atherton Tablelands and Tambo in recent years. Audiences also continue to grow, with more than 1.2 million people visiting regional galleries in Queensland in 20091.

    Col Hoy Diary OCR’d and manual edit from scan of HANSR HAN12BSSRJ 10-13-89 14-20-35 As time goes by the history of Australian Rules Football in Queensland is becoming increasingly cloudier. Lack of research by numerous reporters, plus the advent of former southerners in various sections of the media who think only of the Brisbane Bears, or the VFL, and to heck with the local competition, have a great number of people thinking the game started in the 20s or 30s and even as late as the 50s. So, the following is a hodge podge of our code from 1879 – yes, 1879 to the late sixties. It is not a statistical story, but one full of human interest and anecdotes. I hope you will like it, and to some of the older clan, I hope it stirs a few memories. The Queensland Association was formed in 18791 and a number of good coaches were sent north from Victoria to assist. There was no shortage of players, and clubs were formed and called The Valley, Sandgate, Eagle Farm, South Brisbane, Kelvin, Bulimba, Brunswick, Everton, Northgate, Albion Park, Brisbane Railways and Garrison Artillery. There were three clubs in Ipswich. By 1884 in Brisbane and leading inland towns there were 339 football clubs as well as 212 schools playing the Australian code. At that time only 22 rugby clubs were in existence. The game caught on at Longreach, Clermont, Mount Morgan, Dalby, Mount Perry, Toowoomba and Warwick, mainly through itinerant workers cutting sugar, wheat or shearing. The coastal fringe was not forgotten with Gympie, Cairns, Cooktown, Townsville, Rockhampton, Maryborough, Bundaberg, Southport and Gladstone fielding teams.

  • Redefining Places For
    Redefining Places for for Places Redefining Observing an apparent shift in the relationship between place and performance, Redefining Places for Art explores whether, how, why, and to what extent artists, administrators and audiences see place as an essential part of twenty-first century performance experience. Using the vibrant and emerging cultural life of Queensland as its Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre principle site of investigation, the project focuses on six clusters of arts organisations, from ‘flagship companies’ to small regional arts initiatives. Between them, they represent a broad gamut of approaches: conventional theatre spaces, recommissioned industrial buildings, outdoor festivals, touring, and site-specific work. Extensive interviews with artists and administrators and an analysis Art of print sources and statistical data are complemented by focus group discussions with audience members throughout the State. and location Exploring the dynamics of performance This provides revealing insights into drivers and obstacles for striking a creative balance between place and performance, between tradition and innovation. Important outcomes include an awareness of increasing desire among audiences to curate their own experiences, the search among artists and administrators to negotiate between production values and flexibility, and the realisation that arts policies and funding may not yet fully reflect the current dynamic relationship between place and performance. Redefining Places for Art Exploring the dynamics of performance and location Redefining Places for Art was realised as an ARC Linkage project in collaboration with the University of Canberra, Arts Queensland, and The Australia Council for the Arts.
