Architecture and refurbishment[edit]

An early 19th century building with Edwardian-Baroque exterior designs and ornate colonnades, striking sandstone walls and six-story atrium, the historic Treasury Building houses a three-level gaming emporium of 80 gaming tables and over 1,300 gaming machines, and was opened refurbished as the Treasury Casino in April 1995. The hotel section of the Conrad Treasury Casino is housed in the former Lands Administration Building.

There are also function rooms, ranging from early 19th century decor to modern business meeting rooms.

Economic Development Queensland has approved the plan of development application for the $3 billion Queens Wharf Brisbane casino resort proposal from the Destination Brisbane Consortium.

The plan of development is a masterplan for construction through which further detailed proposals will be assessed.

The development will occupy 12 hectares existing state-owned land, and proposes to reclaim potentially 15.3 hectares of the Brisbane River. In total, the approved development area will cover 27.3 hectares, making it the largest private development in Queensland, equivalent to 20 percent of the city centre.

The plan will guide the development of a former government precinct in Brisbane into an “integrated resort” with a casino, five hotels, 50 bars and restaurants, 2,000 apartment, retail spaces an the adaptive reuse of existing heritage-listed government buildings.

The site marks the place where Brisbane’s colonial history began and has been described as the city’s “oldest and most symbolic precinct” by the Australian Institute of Architect’s national president Richard Kirk (formerly Queensland chapter president). The Queensland Parliament House is located directly adjacent to the proposed casino resort precinct.

The area includes 13 existing buildings, eight of which are heritage-listed and will be retained and four have been or will be demolished, including the Neville Bonner Building designed by Davenport Campbell and Partners in association with Donovan Hill and Powell Dods and Thorpe, which received the FDG Stanley Award for Public Architecture at the 1999 Queensland Architecture Awards.

Also approved is a pedestrian bridge designed by Grimshaw Architect which will connect the casino resort precinct to the existing South Bank Parklands on the opposite side of the Brisbane River.

The development area will also be home to a number of new buildings including towers up to 74 storeys (265 metres) tall.

The plan of development application had been assessed by a range of government organizations and departments including Brisbane City Council, the Department of Transport and Main Roads, South Bank Corporation, the Department of Environment and Heritage protection, the Queensland Heritage Council, the Queensland Urban Design and Places Panel and the Queensland Government Architect.

However, the development has been heavily criticized by peak built environment groups, including the Australian Institute of Architects, Australian Institute of Landscape Architects and the Urban Design Alliance, which questioned the appropriateness of locating a casino so close to the seat of government.
