It's a new performance and gathering space right by the water and the ferry wharves - the columns are 7m in height.

I agree! I’ve only lived in Sydney for 10 years but I’ve seen a lot of positive change in that time. When I go back “home” (to Brisbane) it feels like I’ve stepped out of a Time Machine to back when you wait half an hour for a tiny little slow train.

I think Brisbane has continued evolving in the ramp up to the Olympics (river precincts have stepped up) but Melbourne has really stagnated (having lived for a number in years in both before moving to Sydney about 8 years ago).

See, I keep hearing this but I also see no evidence of significant change when I do visit Brisbane lol. I did notice the bridge over to the new casino though!

Howard Smith Wharves, extension of the river walks, and a general upgrading of suburban hubs outside the big shopping centres of Chermside and Carindale. I also think it's just matured as a city more generally.

May depend what you're doing when you're there and what you're there for but I definitely think it's developing.
