Gasworks Newstead

The upscale retail precinct includes restaurants, cafes, shops, a supermarket, and a public plaza inside the old gas holder of the heritage-listed Newstead Gasworks.

Part of the stage 1 development was a retail precinct which features a PTFE tensile membrane roof over the breezeway.

This tall iron structure is a remnant of gas manufacturing plants which previously dotted the area.

Historically, there were 3 gas holders erected on Newstead site.

2 gasometer was originally built at Petrie Bight in 1873, the site of the first gas plant, and was relocated to the Newstead site when the company opened its second plant in 1887 as Brisbane's second gas works.
