LOCATION
The George Street Activation Space is a large, open‑format site in Queen Street Mall and a key pedestrian entry for visitors from Queen’s Wharf, South Bank and Reddacliff Place.
Located near the Queen Street Mall stage and underground bus station, it benefits from strong, consistent foot traffic. Its generous footprint supports a wide range of activations, including large‑scale brand experiences, promotions and high‑visibility installations.
SPACE AVAILABLE
Where an activation area greater than 8 m × 8 m is proposed, this must be discussed with Brisbane Economic Development Agency (BEDA) prior to approval.
All activations must be designed to maintain public amenity, protect pedestrian movement, and minimise impacts on surrounding traders.
A continuous clearway must be maintained at all times to allow access for emergency vehicles.
Layouts must utilise the central area of the space and be positioned away from braille trails. A minimum clearance of 1 metre is required on either side of all braille trails.
BEDA will provide guidance to support the development of site plans and ensure all requirements are met. All site plans must be submitted to BEDA for review and approval prior to installation.
