The QWB development is a job creation powerhouse, offering both short-term and long-term employment opportunities
across various sectors. The impairment pulled Multiplex’s net after-tax
loss to $219.5 million last calendar year from $34.6 million, even as revenue
jumped by one-third to $4 billion, the Sydney-based company revealed in financial documents lodged with corporate regulator ASIC last week.
Now offering complimentary parking at The Star to all our dining guests!

The new facility’s promoter said that the first-phase opening of Queen’s Wharf added 340 hotel rooms to Brisbane’s accommodation inventory,
with the first guests checking in to The Star Grand hotel on Thursday morning.
We’ll keep you posted when we know more about what’s coming to
the precinct, but you can also stay up to date and get all the latest construction news on The Star Brisbane website.
The open-air green spaces behind the massive precinct will provide areas for moonlight cinemas, pop-up
markets and other outdoor events, with luxe shopping options onsite for when you win big at the casino.

Star Brisbane chief operating office Kelvin Dodt said it was the first look for Brisbane at
the project and its features. We promote community events, local school upgrades, government project, development, local business and
art in Queensland The facts of the proposed government projects, media releases, school upgrades and development applications are based on the available information at the time of the published date, with information sourced directly from company websites, media releases and development application material.
"Affectionately named after the gregarious Babbler bird family, Babblers has its own unique charisma, designed for flowing conversation as friends and family enjoy dining delights. CORE helps Queen’s Wharf precinct to reflect the rhythm of Brisbane, making it an ever-evolving part of the city’s night life. It also enables clients to tailor visual content directly, syncing to the foot traffic, events, and festivals. And in 2013, NSW’s RailCorp was forced to abandon their idea of using Mosquitos – devices that emit a high-frequency buzzing noise only people aged 13 to 24 can hear – to deter graffiti artists.
Meanwhile, The Star's Queens Wharf project in Brisbane has been delayed for a fifth time, with the $3.6 billion precinct now expected to open in August. In response, the state government ordered Star to pay $100 million in fines, appointed a special manager and gave the company a year "to
get its house in order" or its casino licence would be temporarily suspended for 90 days. Queensland's Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman announces the penalties two months after she found the gambling giant unsuitable to hold a casino licence in Queensland, following a major report. "The licence it holds is a
public licence. It's owned by the people of Queensland
and to retain that licence, to prove they should be given that licence back, they
should be transparent." The ABC asked The Star for the full plan but was instead directed to information on its corporate website including the latest annual report, an investor presentation and ASX announcements. The Star was found unsuitable to hold a Queensland casino licence in 2022, after an independent review found "major failings" from the company.
This expansive 30-acre precinct along Brisbane’s river edge promises over 50 venues and experiences designed to appeal to both locals and visitors, redefining the city’s cultural and entertainment landscape. Anchored by Brisbane’s largest hotel ballroom – with the capacity to cater for up to 2,000 guests – the state-of-the-art Event Centre draws inspiration from Queensland’s subtropical landscape and signals a thrilling new era for events in Brisbane. With this raft of reveals comes the launch of bookings for one of Australia’s most anticipated event destinations, The Star Brisbane’s Event Centre, purpose-designed for spectacular events of every scale. Also confirmed is The Star’s signature cocktail bar Cherry – a chic companion to The Star’s popular Sydney and Gold Coast venues by the same name – which will reflect the atmosphere and energy of its central location within the resort, offering a vibrant and bold 360-degree bar. The Star Brisbane is also home to a 732m2 Sports Bar; the city’s premier venue to celebrate the world’s biggest matches, races and games. Brisbane is on the precipice of being the next foodie capital of Australia; the food offerings, the art and culture, and tourism is growing, and the city is making a name for itself in its own right.
Cherry at The Star Brisbane is a vibrant hotspot featuring a stunning 360-degree bar, bespoke seasonal cocktails, and chilled beats. Each has its own unique offerings, gourmet menu items, first-class service, and ambiance that sets them apart from more casual diing establishments. From leisurely lunches to late-night rendezvous, enjoy modern interpretations of French classics like Escargot and Steak au Poivre. Guests can dine in the sunken dining area, celebrate in the private dining room, or enjoy the lively bar. Sip cocktails infused with Asian ingredients at the stunning jade onyx bar while enjoying lively DJ tunes. Guests enjoy tableside theatrics, classic dessert trolleys, and seasonal stunners like fresh figs with balsamic reduction.
McCann is working against the clock to secure a rescue package that would stabilise the company’s finances. Now, the question is whether Star can deliver on this grand vision or if the project will be marred by the company’s ongoing troubles. Queen’s Wharf was intended to be a symbol of the city’s evolution and a beacon of progress.
"It's time all three governments sat down with the company and its Queen's Wharf joint venture partners and thrashed out
one over-arching deal that sorts out the mess
and resolves who will own and run the Sydney, Brisbane and Gold Coast casinos over the
longer term," he said. The casino operator also remains embroiled in legal challenges, with the financial crimes regulator AUSTRAC seeking a $400 million penalty against the company for alleged money laundering, in a court case that kicked off earlier this month. Experts say the distressed company is likely to enter voluntary administration as its attempts to secure a financial lifeline go down to the wire. "On a weekly basis, people
gather in their team’s colours and feel a real sense of atmosphere.
The QWB Sports Bar, to be located within the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane casino close to gaming and entertainment options, is
envisioned as becoming Brisbane’s premier
venue to watch major sporting events from around the world including AFL, NRL,
the English Premier League, NBA, NFL and more.

In 2015, Western Australia’s Department of Culture and Arts was forced to turn off a controversial sprinkler system used to prevent homeless people bedding down in the
inner city. "Anything that targets specific uses that are characterised by marginalised groups, like people who lie down on benches – yes, I would say that definitely constitutes hostile architecture," Petty told ArchitectureAU.
James Petty, who recently completed a PhD in Criminology
that looked at how homelessness is regulated and criminalised in Melbourne,
believes that the design features described in Queens Wharf’s
development application are problematic. The concept of "hostile architecture"
– designs that aim to prohibit certain behaviours and exclude groups of people –
isn’t new.
On Friday, Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman found Star
was unsuitable to hold a casino licence in Queensland
after an independent review found "major failings"
from the company. The ReadWrite Editorial policy
involves closely monitoring the gambling and blockchain industries for major developments,
new product and brand launches, game releases and other newsworthy events.

"Since the recent general meeting, the parties continued to negotiate to finalise the long form documents, but as of this morning, have not reached an agreement on the outstanding commercial issues," said Star in a statement to
the ASX.
