Enjoy the Easter Long Weekend in South Bank!

The precinct will be buzzing with activities for you and the family.

Enjoy free live music from City Sounds at South Bank’s Liana Lounge on Easter Saturday, and at Sunday Sessions on the Green in River Quay on Easter Sunday from 2-5pm.

The Medibank Feel Good Program will be running throughout the break. Burn off those chocolate calories with yoga, pilates, energy, aqua aerobics or a Zumba class.

Various outlets around South Bank will have delicious Easter Specials, such as BSB members South Bank Surf Club and The Charming Squire.

Transport in South Bank Precinct

BSB recently held an information session on transport, which consistently ranks as one of the most important issues in the precinct in the BSB Annual Survey.

Members heard from Ben Wilson, CEO, Bicycle Queensland (BQ) on BQ's proposed Stanley Street Bikeway Concept and George Chemali, Manager of Business Development at Translink, who shared information on new Translink products that may be of great use to your business.

The go Corporate Events Card is an affordable and convenient way to add value to your events. Your delegates would have unlimited travel on all Translink bus, train*, ferry and tram in South East Queensland.

The go business card can be re-used by multiple persons from the same organisation.

BSB has also developed a 'Journey Planner' map to help you find the travel option that is best suited to you for commuting to and from the South Bank precinct. Click here to view the Journey Planner.
