The Building for Queensland page is maintained and managed by the Department of Housing and Public Works. We work closely with other government agencies and the Queensland building construction industry to provide essential building services and facilities for Queenslanders. We develop the policies and compliance support tools so that communities and service providers across the state have access to enhanced building facilities. Our teams build and maintain schools, hospitals, housing, police stations, correctional facilities, ambulance stations and other facilities. We also assist with looking after parks, bridges and heritage buildings across Queensland and providing homes for many doctors, nurses, police officers, teachers and other government workers stationed across the State. A critical part of our work includes providing disaster support through emergency accommodation solutions and the reconstruction and recovery of buildings. This page is monitored during regular business hours (9:00am–5:00pm, Monday to Friday). Messages will not be responded to outside of these hours.

Here’s a throwback to an innovative landmark: Brisbane's Kurilpa Bridge! 🌉 🏗️

Opened in 2009, the Kurilpa Bridge combines cutting-edge design with sustainability to provide world-class city and river views, connecting South Bank Parklands to the Brisbane C*D. Managed by Public Works, this bridge is a symbol of Brisbane’s forward-thinking approach to infrastructure.

The bridge lights up insupport for major events like Queensland Day, NAIDOC Week and National Volunteering Week!

Did you know Kurilpa Bridge holds a few world titles? 🏆 Comment below if you know them!

“If you see something that's not right, or there's a safer way to do something, speak up. Small actions can make a big difference.”

For Jain, a Senior Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) Advisor with QBuild, creating a safe workplace starts with everyone playing their part.

Jain has more than 10 years’ experience in operational safety and has seen an important shift in how we think about workplace health and safety.

“Safety is not just something managed by one team or one person. That shared ownership leads to better conversations and better outcomes for all workers,” Jain said.

It’s a message that reflects this year's Safe Work Month theme: ‘Safe work is for life’.

“The habits we build, like speaking up, planning ahead and looking out for others, help keep us safe both at work and in everyday life.”

The State Library of Queensland – an architectural vision brought to life 📖✨

When the Queensland State Library opened its doors in 1988, it marked a new era for learning, culture, and community. Designed by renowned architect Robin Gibson and delivered by Public Works, the library became a cornerstone of Brisbane’s Cultural Precinct.

Built as part of the Queensland Cultural Centre, the library’s design reflected a bold vision for public spaces in the 1980s. Its brutalist architecture contrasts the thoughtful layout, creating a revered space for knowledge, creativity and connectivity.

Public Works helped realise the vision for this iconic building, which continues to serve as a vital source of knowledge for Queenslanders. 🏗️

Designed as a supportive housing model, it will feature a mix of 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and studio apartments with onsite property and tenancy management and support by Mission Australia and UnitingCare Queensland.

We're stoked to build and support more safe, long-term and affordable homes across this state!

When severe weather and flooding from ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji hit Clermont earlier this year, the QBuild Central Queensland team worked through significant challenges to keep this project moving.

Despite the disruptions, the team delivered this shade structure at Clermont State School by the 30 June deadline, providing year-round UV protection and a more usable outdoor space for students.

Students and staff can now enjoy a shaded outdoor space throughout the year, helping them make better use of the area in all seasons.

ONYA to the QBuild electricians from Cairns and Thursday Island! 👏

The team recently helped with the reopening of Tagai State College's Kalaw Kaziw Mudh – a kindergarten that has been redeveloped into a new, vibrant learning environment for the Tamwoy community.

This is one of the ways QBuild supports school infrastructure, helping children to thrive and grow across the state!

POV: Your favourite colleague is in the office today. You run, not walk. 🐾

Meet Ulia. She's a guide dog in training and the latest four-legged colleague being raised by Public Works Principal Policy Advisor Laura, a volunteer puppy raiser with Guide Dogs Queensland.

While Ulia is learning important skills for a future role supporting people with low vision or blindness, she's already making an impact in the office.

From spontaneous conversations to friendly check-ins, Laura says one of the unexpected benefits of having a guide dog in training at work is the way they bring people together.

By day, Laura is part of the team that recently helped deliver the new Queensland Housing Code and updated Modern Homes Standards, supporting the delivery of more homes across Queensland.

This week, we're celebrating the small moments that help create connection in the workplace. 💙
