EV charging stations have been established at Northshore Hamilton, Queensland’s largest waterfront urban renewal project, which starts 2020 with the official opening of Hercules Street Park after a $10 million makeover.
State development minister Cameron Dick says this is a significant milestone in the ongoing development of the 304ha priority development area (PDA).
“Since Northshore Hamilton was declared a PDA in 2008, the landscape of the industrial and port precinct has changed dramatically,” he says.
“Over the last 10 years development in the $5 billion mix-use precinct has seen the delivery of high-quality housing at Portside Wharf and Hamilton Reach, two CityCat terminals and the Eat Street Markets that attract over a million visitors per annum.
“Disused industrial places and spaces have been replaced with The Deck, Factories Precinct, Incubation Zones, EV charging stations and Tennis Australia courts.
“Upgrading Hercules Street Park is part of the Palaszczuk Government’s greater Northshore redevelopment initiative to transform the former industrial and port precinct into an iconic Brisbane waterfront destination.”
Northshore has two chargers which can found at www.plugshare.com, one a fast charging station and the others a Type 2 Tesla destination charging station. The fast chargers are part of the Queensland Electric Superhighway.
Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) – the Queensland Government’s property development and community-shaping agency – used contributions from developers in the Northshore Hamilton PDA to deliver the $10 million upgrade.
