Colmslie Wharves

Colmslie Wharves is the solution to Brisbane's critical shortage of overnight berths for marine tourism vessels. Co-located with Raptis Seafoods on the river at Morningside, Colmslie Wharves will provide 51 new commercial berths in a visionary plan to support displaced river and bay tourism operators. This game-changing project will deliver a tourism bonanza for Brisbane that is forecast to inject more than $100 million a year into the local economy and attract almost 110,000 extra visitors per annum. It is also expected to create 337 ongoing jobs. The Queensland Government has backed Colmslie Wharves, awarding a $4 million grant through its Growing Tourism Fund to support the development due to its close alignment with key tourism, economic, employment and environmental policy objectives. The project makes use of currently under utilised freehold land and river frontage in an industrial area only 9km from the Brisbane CBD and in close proximity to existing key pick-up and drop-off zones for river-based tourism. It is also likely to encourage investment in additional common user river infrastructure, driving growth and prosperity for tourism businesses providing Brisbane River and Moreton Bay experiences. As Brisbane gears up for the 2032 Olympic Games, Colmslie Wharves will provide vital marine infrastructure that will power a new era of water-based tourism activity worthy of the River City’s iconic brand.
