Broad awarded Howard Smith Wharves Revitalisation Project in Brisbane

Brisbane's iconic New Farm Riverwalk is set to become a new riverside precinct, providing world-class recreation, lifestyle, event and tourism options that provide access to and from the river. 

CPB Contractors subsidiary, Broad, has been named the preferred tenderer by HSW Nominees and Asian Pacific Group to design and construct the $100 million Howard Smith Wharves development. 

In a company statement, Broad said the project is an exciting step for their team, and a landmark project for Broad in Queensland.

• 164 room, 5-star boutique hotel;
• new convention and exhibition centre;
• refurbished existing buildings to accommodate restaurants and cafés;
• two-level basement car park for around 360 vehicles.
