Bulimba Barracks

Bulimba Barracks is set to be transformed into a stunning new neighbourhood, with plans to turn historic Former Fabrication Workshop into a new lifestyle precinct that has been approved by Brisbane City Council.

The plans include a boutique supermarket, retail and hospitality venues and multi-use public spaces, with an open central area for community events, pop-up shops, outdoor seating and dining spaces. In addition there will be a riverfront parkland, including a Riverwalk with pedestrian and cycle connectivity.

The site historically housed the Bulimba Army Base and was one of several war-time industrial sites along the Brisbane River. The Fabrication Workshops were built in 1943 and used as defence facility but have since been vacant.

The re-use of this vacant, but historically significant, site will create a vibrant community space at Bulimba Barracks for residents now and into the future.
