The light show will illuminate the 10 levels of The Star Brisbane&#8217;s crescent-shaped fa\u00e7ade. Additional testing will be conducted in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Destination Brisbane Consortium Project director&nbsp;<strong>Simon Crookes<\/strong>&nbsp;said: \u201cWe are running numerous tests over the coming weeks to identify areas that need adjustment as well as determine brightness and clarity of colour to ensure the technological capabilities of the system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Star\u2019s fa\u00e7ade and various other areas within the precinct will have the functionality to be lit up in almost any colour of the rainbow, including pure white, to support major and world events or causes closer to home.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crookes added: \u201cWe will be able to match the existing Brisbane City Council and Queensland Government controlled colours as well as other specialised lighting elements within the resort. These can either be fully synchronised or run independently of each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat is exciting, the advanced functionality will provide for a range of images and moving displays as well as timing technology to bring the entire tourism precinct alive in a coordinated approach from the river\u2019s edge, across the precinct all the way to George Street.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Star Brisbane chief operating officer Hospitality<strong>&nbsp;Kelvin Dodt&nbsp;<\/strong>added: \u201cThe city was given a taste of the Neville Bonner Bridge\u2019s lighting capabilities during the Matilda\u2019s World Cup finals appearances and in support of the Broncos and Lions\u2019 grand finals last year, but this takes it to another level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor those lucky enough to have witnessed the testing firsthand, especially from the South Bank side of the river it\u2019s a great tease for what\u2019s to come.\u00a0Not only will a paintbox of colours be part of our repertoire, but we can double as a giant canvas for spectacular lighting artistry that includes storytelling and images to further shine a spotlight on Brisbane as a world-class tourism and entertainment destination.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/queens-wharf-development-at-risk-amid-queenslands-review-of-star\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Star Brisbane at Queen\u2019s Wharf<\/a> is expected to open in stages starting from August 2024.
