Queensland’s new state-of-the-art theatre is taking shape providing jobs and opportunities for apprentices in Brisbane.

Work is progressing well on the construction of QPAC’s New Performing Arts Venue (NPAV), supported by the project’s two tower cranes that are lifting materials and equipment as the structure of the theatre starts to take shape.

It’s an exciting year for the New Performing Arts Venue (NPAV) project as construction activities ramp up and the new theatre takes shape.

Major works starting from Friday 9 October will be occurring at New Performing Arts Venue (NPAV) project site, including piling works, to support the construction of the foundations of the theatre structure.

The New Performing Arts Venue project has secured all the necessary planning approvals to proceed to construction following the Ministerial Infrastructure Designation from the Queensland Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning last week.

Progress on Queensland’s new $150 million theatre will become visible this week with Managing Contractor, Lendlease establishing a presence at the Playhouse Green project site.

As a State Government project on a heritage-listed site, the new theatre project requires approval by the Minister for Environment and Science, following a recommendation from the Queensland Heritage Council.

Following the recent appointment of the Managing Contractor, the new theatre project will now undergo two approval processes.

The Queensland Government formally announced Lendlease has been appointed as the successful Managing Contractor to build the new theatre at Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC).

The Palaszczuk Government has unveiled the concept design of the $150 million new theatre to join the stage at the Queensland Cultural Centre at South Bank.
