Brisbane Street Mall

Value: $5.0M+

Brisbane Street Mall is Launceston’s premier shopping destination with a range of exclusive boutiques, busy department stores, great local dining and unique Tasmanian crafts. Established in 1975, this pedestrian strip was one of the country’s first designated malls.

The Brisbane Street Mall redevelopment is a high quality major retail space, building on the successful Quadrant Mall and Civic Square redevelopment projects.

The Brisbane Street Mall Project was a key sub-project identified as a part of the overall Launceston City Heart Project. Brisbane Street Mall was the highest priority area identified by the community. This was due to the site being the most used precinct within the city and a pedestrian thoroughfare within proximity to the public transport interchange and a key central destination with popular retail offering and connectivity to other areas of the CBD.
