Daniel Finch <\/strong>said: “Like the rest of Brisbane, we are excited for this city-defining precinct to invigorate the CBD, including our nighttime economy and we will continue to progressively roll out a steady stream of new restaurants, bars, public spaces and destinations revitalising an underutilised 12 hectares of the city\u2019s river\u2019s edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“Once fully operational, The Star Brisbane and broader Queen\u2019s Wharf precinct are expected to attract approximately 1.4 million additional visitors to Queensland each year as we quickly approach the 2032 Brisbane Games.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patricia O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong>, CEO of Tourism and Events Queensland and chair of Queen’s Wharf Brisbane Marketing and Event Committee added: “The quintessentially Queensland experiences across accommodation, entertainment, events, conferences, retail and dining that Queen\u2019s Wharf adds to our already exceptional offering and will no doubt be a huge drawcard for visitors, being a huge contributor to our industry\u2019s 2032 goal to make tourism a $44 billion industry for the state.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Queensland Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation approved the licence two days before the release of a second inquiry report in New South Wales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":16586,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"The Queensland Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) has faced scrutiny for licensing The Star Brisbane just prior to the New South Wales Independent Casino Commission (NICC) releasing a report deeming The Star Group unsuitable.
