Waterfront

Waterfront Brisbane

Fire engineering for a landmark mixed-use precinct, delivering safe, compliant outcomes across complex commercial, retail, and public environments.

Project Overview

Waterfront Brisbane is a landmark redevelopment transforming the Eagle Street Pier and Waterfront Place precinct into a major commercial and public destination. The project includes two new office towers, upgraded retail offerings, enhanced riverwalk connections, and activated public spaces along the Brisbane River. E-LAB’s Fire Engineering team is supporting John Holland QLD to deliver safe, compliant outcomes across this complex, high-profile development. The scale and integration of commercial, retail, and public interfaces require a coordinated fire strategy that supports both design ambition and operational performance.

Our Approach

  • Fire engineering input across design stages to support compliance and approvals
  • Development of performance-based fire solutions for complex building interfaces
  • Fire strategy for mixed-use elements, including commercial towers, retail, and public areas
  • Coordination with design and construction teams to align safety, buildability, and programme
  • Ongoing support to maintain design intent through delivery

Outcome

  • Clear, compliant fire strategy supporting a complex, mixed-use precinct
  • Reduced approval risk through performance-based, defensible solutions
  • Integrated outcomes aligned with architectural vision and public realm activation
  • Practical, buildable solutions supporting efficient construction and delivery
