Gasworks Newstead is a big building project in Newstead, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It includes places for businesses, homes, and shops.
This modern area has restaurants, cafes, and stores. There's even a supermarket and a public space. All of this is built around an old structure called a gas holder. This gas holder is a special historical building.
The Old Gas Holder Structure
The tall iron structure you see at Gasworks Newstead is called the No. 2 gas holder. It stands on Skyring Terrace. This structure is a reminder of the original Gasworks, which started in 1887. It was the second gas factory in Brisbane.
Interestingly, this specific gas holder wasn't always in Newstead. It was first built in 1873 at another gasworks in Petrie Bight.
How Gasworks Newstead Was Developed
Plans for this big project were approved in 2008. The first part of the Gasworks Newstead development opened in August 2013.
When it's all finished, Gasworks Newstead will have seven buildings. These buildings will offer lots of space for different uses. There will be 17,000 square metres for shops and restaurants. Also, 103,500 square metres will be for offices. About 750 apartments will be available for people to live in.
