Over three weeks, Curiocity Brisbane will deliver a program of immersive, interactive and multi-sensory experiences as along with the world-leading QODE technology and innovation festival (24 – 25 March), and globally-renowned events World Science Festival Brisbane (25 – 29 March) and the thought provoking and celebratory WOW (Women of the World) Australia 2020 (2 – 5 April), plus two special QAGOMA Water Up Late events (20 – 21 March). More than 325,000 people attended the inaugural Curiocity Brisbane events, boosting Queensland’s reputation as a world leader in science, technology, innovation and the arts. The return of this flagship creative platform has been made possible by significant funding and a close collaboration between the Queensland Government, through Tourism and Events Queensland, and Brisbane City Council, through Brisbane Marketing. Innovation Minister Kate Jones said Curiocity Brisbane would continue to build on the successful 2019 inaugural event. “We invest in events because we know they drive visitation and support local jobs,” Ms Jones said. “We developed this brand-new concept in 2019 to spark visitors’ curiosity and create buzz in Brisbane through the exploration of new innovative technologies and interactive artwork. “Cultural tourism is booming globally. Events like this help to build up Queensland’s reputation globally as a haven for arts and culture.

INTRODUCTION [This paper, entitied the "Gardens Reach of the Brisbane River," describes the growth of shipping from the inception of Brisbane's first port terminal at South Brisbane, which spread and developed in the Gardens Reach. In dealing briefly wkh a period from 1842 to 1927, it men­ tions some of the vessels which came here and a number of people who travelled in them. In this year of 1965, we take for granted communications in terms of the Telestar which televises in London an inter­ view as it takes place in New York. News from the world comes to us several times a day from newspapers, television and radio. A letter posted to London brings a reply in less than a week: we can cable or telephone to London or New York. Now let us return to the many years from 1842 onward before the days of the submarine cable and subsequent inven­ tion of wireless telegraphy by Signor Marconi, when Bris­ bane's sole means of communication with the outside world was by way of the sea. Ships under sail carried the mails on the long journeys, often prolonged by bad weather; at best, it was many months before replies to letters or despatches could be expected, or news of the safe arrival of travellers receivd. Ships vanished without trace; news of others which were lost came from survivors.

All aspects of development on a Local Heritage Place in a Local Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, are code assessable (unless City Plan 2000 requires impact assessment). Those code assessable applications are assessed against the Code in Schedule 2 of the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 and the Heritage Place Code in City Plan 2000.

Cover photo © Rebecca c/- www.yspace.net , other photos © Phil Crane and Anna Spencer. 1.0 Introduction This case study has been undertaken as one of a series to inform the Child Friendly Cities Symposium conducted in Sydney October 30-31 2006. New Farm, Brisbane was selected for its capacity to throw light on the experience and issues of children in an Australian inner city suburban environment. As with other case study research it does not assume generalisability to other inner city suburban contexts, though it will be suggested there are a range of relevant considerations arising from it. New Farm presents as having some obviously child friendly features. It is home to one of Brisbane’s iconic parks with its’ childrens’ playground woven into grand trees, is surrounded on three sides by the Brisbane River, and has emerged as a hub for fringe arts and performance. From the early 1990’s New Farm and the surrounding are has been the subject of quite intense urban renewal attention.

The City Reach Waterfront is one of Brisbane’s iconic riverside locations – bookended by the City Botanic Gardens and Howard Smith Wharves. The area is a popular leisure destination and is one of the city's key economic precincts, known for its concentration of high-value professional services and picturesque riverside dining. The City Reach Waterfront Master Plan (the master plan) is an action from the Brisbane City Centre Master Plan 2014 that establishes an ambitious vision for the waterfront. Achieving the vision of the master plan will take time and will require a collaborative approach between stakeholders, including Council, the Queensland Government and landholders. Council welcomes the opportunity to work with precinct stakeholders to deliver on the master plan’s vision. Community consultation The master plan is based on extensive technical investigations and community consultation. The draft master plan was released for public consultation in late 2019 and Council received more than 400 submissions.

The City Reach Waterfront is one of Brisbane’s iconic riverside locations – bookended by the City Botanic Gardens and Howard Smith Wharves. The area is a popular leisure destination and one of the city's key economic precincts. The draft master plan is based on feedback received from residents, property owners, businesses, commuters and visitors who completed the master plan survey in late 2018, as well as responses to the Move Safe Brisbane consultation. In addition, research into international waterfront examples has provided a set of key qualities to ensure future development will transform the City Reach Waterfront into a New World City riverside destination. The master plan will be a non-statutory document that complements Brisbane’s planning scheme (Brisbane City Plan 2014).
