A complex operation is underway at #Brisbane #Airport to replace 18 concrete slabs on its four-decade old #runway. The length of the runway has been shortened, allowing the works to proceed safely while keeping the runway open and minimising community impact. Thanks to Nine News for giving viewers an insight into the project at Queensland’s most important transport #hub. Aaron Pond BMD Group Matthew Anderson CPSPM #BrisbaneAirport #InfrastructureProject

Today, Sharyn Ghidella vanished from our TV screens after a storied 17-year tenure at Seven. I had the privilege of being her Live Producer for 15 of those years on everything from floods to fires, G20, Royal Tours, State Funerals, Covid-pressers, cyclones, elections, Commonwealth Games and Breaking News. Some of these events went for days. Sharyn would also tell me she never liked doing breaking news coverage. The truth is she was very good at it and we won awards for it. Me: “We’re going live in 60 seconds with Breaking News.” Sharyn: “What are we saying?” Me: “We’ll know in 60 seconds.” Eight hours later we’d still be live on-air. Congrats Sharyn on a wonderful 38-year TV stint and the very best for the next chapter of life. Xxxx PS. Thanks for always trusting me as we dove into the unknown.

🍽️ Just when you thought #dining at Brisbane Airport couldn’t get any better, TODAY a cool new #concept is born. ⭐️ Chef to the stars Luke Mangan is the 1st to deliver his #menu inspired by the best #Queensland has to offer at “The Independent”. 🍤 🐠 🦪 💡The restaurant concept is rare, for after a #season, a new top chef will replace Luke, a cycle that will continue. ✈️ But for now, enjoy the #debut of Luke Mangan’s seafood delights between Gate 40 and Gate 41 (near the Virgin Australia lounge) with a great tarmac #view. 🍹Or just drop in for a drink, the #bar has a stunning local range of 50 gins and spirits. ♻️ I love some of the finer points of this venue including the beer tap handles made from #recycled glass bottles used at Brisbane Airport. 🪚 This is part of the more than $5billion #FututeBNE #transformation of #Brisbane #Airport now unfolding. 📺 Enjoy my behind the scenes sneak peek #tour and get it for lunch today! 🥩 👏 #Congratulations SSP Australia & New Zealand and Corey Law on delivering “The Independent”. #airportdining #airportretail #dining #bne Toby Innes Martin Ryan Ellie Daly Brisbane Airport Corporation

Celebrating the 4th of July at City Hall with Consul General Christine Elder who reflected on how our bonds go back centuries. Independence Day in 1776 ended the shipping of British Convicts to America… and of course the next destination was Australia. Great catch up too with Eilis Baldevia from our airport partner United Airlines #IndependenceDay #CommonHistory #CommonValues #United

60 years ago, their first world tour is complete and The Beatles board a Qantas flight at Brisbane Airport to fly back to London, stopping in Sydney, Singapore and Frankfurt to refuel on the way. Their departure a little calmer then than arrival when Bob Katter (now Federal MP) was part of a group that hurled eggs at them after their 2am arrival at BNE. #history #TheBeatles #BrisbaneAirport

Today Brisbane lawyer Tim Franklin finished #running around the world, the 8th person to do so, in the 2nd fastest time. He covered 26,232 in 576 days, running 40-50km per day. But what he wasn’t prepared for was the sea of people who turned out to run and cheer him home. Well done #Brisbane. Well done Tim. Enjoy the final moments as he’s swallowed by the crowd at South Bank Corporation Credit to Tahlia Maloney from The Social Outsource who kept the world updated via 576 days of engaging social content.

August 29 - mark the day (and night✨) in your calendar. After almost a decade watching Queen’s Wharf rise from the ground, Brisbane’s new city defining #destination now has an #opening date. And August 29 is just the beginning, with staged openings continuing throughout the integrated #tourism, #leisure, #dining and #entertainment precinct. It’s also the date the #Brisbane #River gets its 16th crossing, with the opening of the Neville Bonner Bridge. Queen’s Wharf is located where the Executive Building once stood at 100 George Street. Built by Sir Joh Bjelke-Peterson, the Queensland Government HQ was home base for 9 Premiers. It was the tallest building #demolished in the history of Brisbane. Just 13 days after stage 1 of Queens Wharf opens, the CAPA - Centre for Aviation will hold its Airline Leader Summit for ✈️ delegates from across the Asia Pacific. It will be one of the first events held at the shiny new venue. What a destination to showcase #Brisbane to the world. 🌍 ✈️ I can’t wait to see the #view from the Sky Deck platform. See you there on August 29. Brisbane is officially alive with opportunity. https://lnkd.in/gN-vxM2x #Brisbane #QueensWharf #CityTransformation #airlines #CAPA24 Brisbane Airport Corporation Brisbane Economic Development Agency Tourism and Events Queensland Karryn Wheelans
