PARTS of the flood-ravaged South Bank precinct reopened to the public today with about 90 percent of businesses now up and running.
The riverfront parklands were swamped by the Brisbane River with South Bank Corporation CEO Malcolm Snow describing the clean-up as a “mighty, ongoing effort”.
The reopened area includes the Tribune St lawns, the Arbour, Stanley St Plaza and parts of the Cultural Forecourt.
The worst of the flooded area remains closed, including all pools and lagoons, the Riverside Green and riverside restaurants, the Promenade and parts of the Cultural Forecourt.
Restaurants and shopfronts along Little Stanley and Grey streets have also reopened and the Wheel of Brisbane is again operational.
Mr Snow said parts of the parklands are still being cleaned and repaired but a raft of free events and activities were available to visitors, including a Kidzone.
South Bank’s Lifestyle and Young Designer Markets resume this weekend, as does the free Movies on the Green program.
South Bank’s program of events while the clean-up and repair is finalised includes:
MOVIES ON THE GREEN (free) on Glenelg St Lawn every Wednesday to Sunday 7-10pm from January 28 until February 20. Live music from local bands every Friday before each movie screening from 6pm.
KIDSZONE (free) on Tribune Street Lawn from January 31 until February 20 with activities for children under five years from 10am-5pm. They include a giant sand pit, bouncy castle and wave break slide.
LAWN GAMES (free) every day from 10am-9pm and including air hockey, foosball, pinball and table tennis on the lawn. Suitable for all ages and starting January 31.
WHEEL OF BRISBANE is open seven days a week, from 10am-10pm. Tickets onsite or at www.worldtouristattractions.co.uk
YOUNG DESIGNERS MARKET (free) every Sunday in February, 10am-4pm at the Tribune and Glenelg St lawns
LIFESTYLE MARKETS (free) beginning January 28 from 5-10pm and again on Saturday and Sundays from 10am-5pm and 9am-5pm
