Street Spotlight: Castleton Street, Hamilton

Photo Credit: qimagery.information.qld.gov.au

Castleton Street in Hamilton stands as one of Brisbane’s most exclusive residential enclaves, where every property is owner-occupied and residents demonstrate extraordinary commitment to their community. This small but distinguished street of just five houses represents the pinnacle of Brisbane’s riverside living, with homeowners staying an average of 16 years in what many consider one of the city’s most desirable addresses.

The street’s intimate scale fosters a unique sense of community, with 60% of residents having called Castleton Street home for more than a decade. Originally known as Maud Street, the thoroughfare was renamed in 1938 when Brisbane City Council systematically replaced duplicate street names across the city’s suburbs. The transformation of this street reflects Hamilton’s evolution from a riverside suburb to one of Brisbane’s most prestigious residential areas, with property values demonstrating remarkable growth over the decades.

Remembrance: Honouring Sergeant Claud Castleton VC

Castleton Street pays tribute to one of Australia’s most courageous sons, Sergeant Claud Castleton VC, whose selfless heroism during the First World War exemplifies the Anzac spirit. Born in England in 1893, Castleton immigrated to Australia in 1912, embodying the adventurous spirit of many who sought new opportunities in the young nation.

When war broke out, Castleton was prospecting for gold in New Guinea, but immediately answered the call to serve. After initially joining local forces in Port Moresby for communications and coastal defence, he returned to Australia and enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force in March 1915. His unit reached Gallipoli in August, participating in the attack on Hill 60, before he was promoted through the ranks and transferred to the Australian Machine Gun Corps.

On the fateful night of 28 July 1916, during the attack on Pozières Heights in France, Castleton displayed extraordinary courage that would earn him the Victoria Cross. As infantry were driven back by withering machine gun fire and shelling, leaving numerous wounded stranded in no man’s land, Castleton ventured out twice under intense fire to carry back wounded comrades. Tragically, on his third rescue mission, he was struck in the back and killed instantly, aged just 23.

Sergeant Castleton’s posthumous Victoria Cross recognised his “conspicuous bravery” in the face of certain death. He rests in Pozières British Cemetery at Ovillers-la-Boiselle, France, while his Victoria Cross is proudly displayed at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. This street stands as Hamilton’s tribute to a young man who embodied the finest qualities of service, sacrifice, and mateship that define the Anzac legacy.

New Design for Howard Smith Wharves Includes Grand Stair, More Green Space

The proposed redevelopment of Howard Smith Wharves has taken a new turn, as developers respond to concerns raised by the city’s local planning officials over the original architectural and engineering proposals.

Read: CityCat Services Arrive at Howard Smith Wharves Ferry Terminal

In fresh documents lodged with BCC this week, planners working on behalf of Artemus, the firm behind the multimillion-dollar transformation, have offered revised designs and justifications in a bid to secure approval for the high-profile project.

Planning consultancy Urbis, on behalf of the developer, said the changes aim to clarify the project’s intent while preserving its significance to Brisbane’s future.

Planners emphasised the importance of recognising the significance of the Howard Smith Wharves redevelopment before any formal response to Brisbane’s local planning officials. They noted that the precinct plays a vital role in regional tourism and suggested that continued development would only strengthen that role, particularly as Brisbane prepares for major events leading up to 2032 and beyond.

New Vision for Howard Smith Wharves

Central to the amended proposal is a 77-room hotel and entertainment complex that would rise to the top of the cliffs, offering sweeping views across the Brisbane River. While the core concept remains intact, key design elements have been reworked in response to community and council concerns. The hotel’s upper levels will now incorporate “organic landscaped stone and planted forms,” aiming to better integrate the structure with its surrounding parkland.

The hotel’s colonnade arches—a key feature along the public pathway—have been widened to improve pedestrian flow through the site. This change addresses concerns about the shared pathway running through the hotel, a plan that had raised red flags among cycling and active transport groups worried about congestion.

In defence of the shared path, planners pointed to the low number of incidents recorded since the precinct reopened in 2018, revealing that only 14 reportable incidents have occurred along the shared pathway in that time, six of which involved interactions between pedestrians and cyclists or scooters.

A Shift Away from the River Barge

The previously approved barge, Felon’s barge, which is in front of the hotel has been removed and replaced with a broad, landscaped stairway and amphitheatre known as the Grand River Stair.

Brisbane’s local planning officials had also questioned whether the proposed hotel design would clash with surrounding heritage structures. In response, Urbis reaffirmed that the building’s red-brown brickwork pays tribute to the city’s traditional architecture. The material choice was carefully selected not to compete visually with the Story Bridge’s bold steel structure.

Capacity, Access, and Traffic Management

According to documents from Colliers Engineering and Design, the site’s total venue capacity is expected to nearly double, from 3,870 to 7,280 people. To support this growth, the revised plans include two new lifts, vehicle standing areas on Bowen Terrace in New Farm, and improved pedestrian circulation.

Concerns about traffic have also been addressed, with the developers assuring that the increase in vehicle movements is within manageable limits.

What’s Next for Howard Smith Wharves?

Despite the scale and sensitivity of the redevelopment, the team behind the project remains confident. They argue that the updated design achieves a better balance between tourism, heritage, public space, and infrastructure.

The overwater pool and entertainment deck, a standout feature of the original proposal, will still go ahead—albeit in a slightly revised form with upgraded pylons and assurances regarding clearance for river transport.

As Brisbane eyes major events in the lead-up to the 2032 Olympic Games, Howard Smith Wharves continues to evolve. Its next phase, if approved, promises to blend iconic architecture with active public space—positioning the precinct not just as a riverside escape, but as a defining symbol of Brisbane’s future.

Teen Charged After Riverwalk Collision at Cameron Rocks Reserve

Photo Credit: QldPolice/X

A 57-year-old cyclist was left with serious injuries after a head-on collision with an e-scooter rider at Cameron Rocks Reserve in Hamilton, sparking a community-wide appeal for witnesses and a formal charge against a local teenager.

Crash at a Busy Riverwalk

On 7 May 2025, a head-on crash between a bicycle and an e-scooter disrupted the busy Lores Bonney Riverwalk at Cameron Rocks Reserve in Hamilton. Police said the e-scooter had entered the shared path from Kingsford Smith Drive and collided with a cyclist coming the other way.

The cyclist, a Hendra man, was seriously injured and taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. The e-scooter rider left the scene before emergency crews arrived.

Police Launch Investigation and Public Appeal

The Forensic Crash Unit began investigating the next day and called for witnesses or anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage from the area to come forward. Police asked the public to contact Policelink or Crime Stoppers and quote case number QP2500787041.

As the investigation progressed, police gathered enough evidence to identify a suspect. Witness statements and nearby camera footage played a key role.

Teenager Facing Court

On 10 May, police charged a 19-year-old Zillmere man over the crash. He faces accusations of dangerous operation and failing to meet his duties after an injury crash, and is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on 24 June.

Police confirmed the teen left the scene without offering help, adding to the seriousness of the charges. The crash has raised concerns among locals who often use the riverwalk.

Community Voices Safety Concerns

The crash has renewed concerns about safety on shared paths for cyclists, pedestrians and e-scooter riders. Locals are calling for better signage, speed limits and awareness along routes like Cameron Rocks Reserve and the Lores Bonney Riverwalk.

Government reports show eight deaths from e-scooter or e-bike incidents in Queensland in 2024, prompting a review of regulations. Meanwhile, locals are focused on urgent safety improvements in areas like Hamilton with busy shared paths.

$4.5 Million Tuscan-Inspired Mansion Sets New Benchmark in Hamilton

Photo Credit: Ray White Clayfield

A prestigious Hamilton Hill property has achieved one of the suburb’s highest sales of the year, reflecting the continued strength of Brisbane’s luxury real estate market.

The property at 13 Quarry Street, Hamilton has sold for $4,500,000, placing it among the top sales in Hamilton and adding momentum to Brisbane’s growing prestige market. Handled by Matt Lancashire and Ben Osborne of Ray White New Farm, the sale took place on April 24, 2025 and marks a significant increase from its previous sale price of $2,830,000 in 2005.

About the Property

This Mediterranean-inspired masterpiece epitomises Tuscan grandeur with its captivating design dating back to the early 2000s, featuring iron balustrades, rich timber accents, and stone pavers that underscore its extraordinary proportions.

Set on a 520 m² block, the home features:

5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a 3-car garage
Multiple living areas including a home theatre with tiered seating, an entertainment room with wet bar, and a Miele gourmet kitchen
A shimmering swimming pool, collection of terraces, water feature, and built-in BBQ on the alfresco terrace
A stately office and opulent primary suite with river-view balcony and indulgent spa bath

Location & Lifestyle

Hamilton is known for its prestigious residences and elevated positions offering spectacular city views. The home sits atop a private cul-de-sac in an exclusive enclave on Hamilton Hill and is within proximity to the riverfront, Racecourse Road and Portside Wharf. It falls within the Ascot State School catchment and is close to top schools and public transport.

Why This Sale Stands Out

Last sold for $2,830,000 in 2005, representing a 59% increase in value over 20 years
Features a magnificent 538sqm home on a 520sqm land parcel
Offers rarely available lifestyle extras such as panoramic Brisbane River and city views, a private pool, and multiple entertainment zones
Located in one of Brisbane’s most prestigious suburbs

This sale demonstrates the rising ceiling for top-tier homes in Hamilton and suggests increasing demand for prestige properties with architectural significance, premium views, and proximity to the city.

Street Profile & Sales Context

Quarry Street has long been associated with exclusive residences that capture Brisbane’s iconic river and city views. Homes here are typically tightly held, and property values have shown strong resilience even in softer markets. This particular property’s 59% growth since its last sale in 2005 showcases the long-term investment potential of Hamilton’s premium real estate.

The sale represents a significant transaction in Hamilton’s luxury property market. Matt Lancashire and Ben Osborne from Ray White New Farm handled the transaction, continuing their presence in Brisbane’s high-end real estate sector. Hamilton properties with river and city views continue to command premium prices in the current market.

This sale at 13 Quarry Street is not just a record-breaker — it’s a story of lifestyle, legacy, and the continuing rise of Hamilton as one of Brisbane’s most desirable postcodes. With its stunning Mediterranean design, panoramic views, and prime location, this property exemplifies the enduring appeal of Brisbane’s high-end residential market.

The Former Iron Woman that Paddled Around Australia in 254 Days

Bonnie Hancock is an extraordinary lady.

She covered over 12,700 kilometres on a surf ski around Australia.

Over 254 days at sea.

In the modern world where resilience in children is under question, Bonnie is a wonderful example of the highest standards of mental strength and resilience.

She started nippers at Sawtel from the age of five, and dreamt from the age of 12 to become Karla Gilbert (she won the Kelloggs Ironwoman Series seven years in a row from 1995 to 2003) and at the age of 17, she became a professional Iron Woman competitor, as did her sister, Courtenay. She waitressed through uni and trained every day, 6.5 km in the pool every morning under the eye of legendary coach, Denis Cotterell. After uni each day she would do 10-20 km on the surf ski, and some running on the soft sand to complete her day that tended to be complete by 7:00 p.m., with competitions at the weekends. That gruelling schedule shaped her life daily until the age of 25.

She then evolved from Iron Woman competitions into a ski paddler on an 18 kg craft, typically racing over five-minute races, whilst embarking on a career as a dietician.

Her ultra endurance journey began at Broadbeach Library, reading a book about a lady who had written a biography about it. She had 25 rejections for sponsorship before she signed her first sponsor.

Her incredible journey paddling around Australia for over 254 days began when she paddled 73 km on her first day. Then, after about a week in, the daily target was scheduled to be 90 km on that day; but half way through a few hours, she was told it had to be increased to 120 km that day as it was decided she had to go around an island. After a month of constant paddling she had bulging discs and various other illnesses, but nothing would stop her, including the crocodiles encountered.

The mental hurdles she smashed through were endless. “Being prepared to adapt your plan” was front and centre in her amazing journey. Everytime a headwind came, she became stronger, and she would realise that when the headwinds dropped.

Lemons into Lemonade!

In the interview, Bonnie talks about a lot of the challenges along the way, including some good and bad decisions she made, how she developed her work ethic, and the joy of working to a plan.

This included a discussion around parenting and sport, managing finances, how she got into ultra endurance and many other fascinating anecdotes.

It’s an amazing story.

Due to overwhelming visitor demand, Bluey’s World at Hamilton’s Northshore Pavilion will now remain open until February 2026, an extended run that follows the attraction’s success in drawing more than 200,000 guests since its launch late last year.

Global Recognition and Visitors

Bluey’s World has gained attention overseas, recently being named by TIME Magazine as one of the World’s Greatest Places to Visit for 2025. This highlights its status as a top-quality attraction.

Visitors have travelled from all over Australia to see it and from New Zealand, North America, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Singapore. Some famous fans who have visited include Eva Mendes, Chris Hemsworth, and Kylie Minogue. The 200,000th visitor was given a special VIP card for unlimited entry.

Inside Bluey’s World

Located at the Northshore Pavilion in Hamilton, part of the Northshore Brisbane area, Bluey’s World covers a large 4000 square metre space. Inside, visitors can explore life-sized sets that look just like the ones in the TV show, including the Heeler family’s living room, kitchen, playroom, and backyard, complete with its poinciana tree. The show is strongly connected to Brisbane, using the city for inspiration and being made by a local studio.

The attraction offers interactive games familiar from the show, like Keepy Uppy and Magic Xylophone, designed for children and adults. A visit is expected to take about 70 minutes.

There is also an indoor playground themed around Bluey’s neighbourhood, a cafe selling food like spring rolls and pizza, a gift shop, and sounds from the show playing throughout. Families can also book the venue for birthday parties. Getting there is easy, including arriving by CityCat ferry.

Community Impact and Support

Minister for the Environment and Tourism Andrew Powell stated that the Heeler family is one of Brisbane’s best exports and Bluey’s World has become a major family attraction for the city. He noted the significant economic benefits, with the exhibit expected to bring up to $18 million into the state’s economy as visitors use local hotels, restaurants, and shops. He expressed confidence that at least another 200,000 visitors will come to enjoy the experience during its extended run.

Bluey’s World Producer Andrew Kay said the public reaction has been fantastic. He shared that seeing families laughing and exploring together inside the attraction has been very satisfying, and seeing it become a key Brisbane destination is wonderful.

Scott Modra, Head of Commercial for BBC Studios ANZ, said they are proud of the special experience created. He felt reaching 200,000 visitors so quickly shows how much people love Bluey and how thrilled families are to enter the Heeler’s world.

BBC Studios and HVK World produce Bluey’s World. It receives support from the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland, and from Brisbane City Council through the Brisbane Economic Development Agency.

Hamilton Man Sentenced After Police Bust Brisbane Drug Network

A man from Hamilton has been sentenced to jail after his involvement in a cocaine trafficking syndicate across South East Queensland was uncovered, following a routine police search at his luxury Brisbane unit.

Read: Hamilton Drug Trafficker Appeals Egg Freezing Decision from Prison

Gene Isaac Shaw, 35, first came to the attention of authorities in October 2020 when officers found 25 grams of pure cocaine, worth around $17,000, hidden inside a pencil case at his Hamilton apartment. Rather than charging him immediately, police launched a broader investigation that later exposed a network of drug dealers operating in Brisbane’s inner suburbs.

The Supreme Court in Brisbane heard that Shaw and other syndicate members used a unit in Spring Hill and a property in Albion to store drugs and hold meetings. Initially managing the Spring Hill operation, Shaw later handed over control to two associates who established a fake company to disguise trafficking profits as legitimate payroll and superannuation payments.

During the near nine-month trafficking period, Shaw remained unemployed, living in a $650-a-week apartment, yet financial records revealed he received around $42,000 in unexplained income. An additional $112,000 linked to money laundering activities was also deposited into his account.

Police said Shaw predominantly supplied small amounts of cocaine to end-users, maintaining a customer base of 62 people. He was arrested in March 2022 and later pleaded guilty to trafficking cocaine, money laundering, and possessing dangerous drugs.

The court heard that Shaw began addressing his drug issues before his arrest, participating in rehabilitation programs and showing honesty about his past relapses. His efforts were supported by character references and his continued family support, factors that weighed into the court’s sentencing.

However, the judge noted the seriousness of Shaw’s trafficking activities and the financial evidence of his involvement. Shaw was sentenced to five years in prison, with the term to be suspended after serving 12 months.

Public Pontoon at Hamilton Supports Kayaks to Large Boats

Photo Credit: BCC

A versatile public recreation hub offering direct Brisbane River access for various watercraft has been provided to the Hamilton community as part of a major local road project.

Project Background and Connections

The Kingsford Smith Drive Recreation Hub opened to the public in early 2020. It was built as a component of the significant $650 million upgrade to Kingsford Smith Drive, a major infrastructure project for Brisbane. The road upgrade project, including the recreation hub, was completed in late 2020 and delivered under budget.

This facility is part of Council’s wider River Access Network, which aims to improve how residents and visitors can use and enjoy the Brisbane River. Importantly, the hub connects directly to the Lores Bonney Riverwalk, a 1.2-kilometre path for pedestrians and cyclists created during the roadworks, providing linked-up recreational opportunities along the riverfront. Nearby redeveloped areas such as Bretts Wharf Plaza and Cameron Rocks Reserve also offer additional public spaces for the community.

Design and Construction

The Jetty Specialists / Marine Structures designed and constructed the hub’s pontoons. The facility is designed to last 50 years and is built using durable materials like aluminium for the pontoons and strong mooring and guide piles.

Key considerations in the design included ensuring it complied with standards for disabled access and building it to withstand high flood levels. The hub features the Council’s distinct blue, white, and yellow branding colours, along with signage and lighting. It also includes different deck heights above the water, known as freeboard heights, with some low zones specifically suited for easy launching of passive craft like kayaks and canoes.

Versatile River Use

The recreation hub caters to a broad range of users. It provides access to non-motorised watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards. Owners of motorised recreational boats can also use the facility for short-term mooring, generally for up to two hours unless signs indicate otherwise, making it convenient for quick stops.

The design also allows for potential water taxi pick-ups and drop-offs. Furthermore, parts of the facility, likely the commercial pontoon section, can accommodate larger vessels, including tour boats like the “Lady Brisbane,” with a capacity of up to 300 tonnes displacement. The main purpose is to be a convenient point for short-term use, allowing various boaties and paddlers to get on and off the water easily.

Korean BBQ Redefined with Marble Korean Steakhouse Opening in Hamilton

Photo Credit: Marble Korean Steakhouse/Instagram

A new high-end Korean barbecue restaurant has opened in Hamilton, offering an immersive dining experience that combines premium meats, curated wine pairings, and hands-on table-side service.

Background and Opening

Marble Korean Steakhouse officially opened its doors on 9 April at 39 Hercules Street, Hamilton, within the Portside Wharf precinct. The venue is led by husband-and-wife team Simon Kang and Vanessa Devine. Mr Kang, a chef trained in high-pressure Korean kitchens, has introduced a dining model that merges Korean culinary techniques with the structure of a modern steakhouse.

Dining Format and Interior Setup

The restaurant departs from traditional Korean barbecue by offering structured, staff-assisted grilling experiences using smokeless grills imported from Japan. Each table is equipped with its own grill, with staff guiding the preparation of dishes at the table.

The space features a sleek, industrial-inspired interior built by Lowry Group, complemented by moody lighting and a cocktail bar. The overall layout is intended to provide a full-service, immersive dining environment.

Menu and Meat Selection

Marble Korean Steakhouse offers set menus such as the Marble Signature ($129 per person) and Butcher’s Fire ($89 per person), each featuring premium cuts including Tajima Wagyu and Full Blood Wagyu. These meats are sourced from the top 5% of Australian cattle and include options like cube roll, tenderloin, oyster blade, and short rib.

The venue also features a wine pairing experience ($25 per person), offering four 75 ml pours selected to complement specific cuts of meat. Side offerings include Korean-style stews, egg soufflé, pickled vegetables, and house-made sauces.

Meat Provenance and Quality

The restaurant distinguishes between three categories of meat: Full Blood Wagyu, Australian Wagyu, and Tajima Wagyu. Full Blood Wagyu is DNA-certified and raised for over 600 days, while Australian Wagyu is fed a curated diet for 380 days across Victoria and Tasmania. Tajima Wagyu, a Japanese bloodline, is grown under strict AUS-MEAT standards to ensure consistency in marbling and flavour.

Alternative Dining and Support

In contrast to DIY-style Korean BBQ, Marble positions its offering as a guided and elevated experience. The menu is supported by dedicated staff who assist with all grilling, removing the need for diners to cook their own food.

Access and Logistics

Marble Korean Steakhouse is open from Wednesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner service, with closures on Mondays and Tuesdays. Onsite parking at Portside Wharf includes up to two hours of free secure underground parking.

Marble Korean Steakhouse has introduced a new model of Korean BBQ to the Brisbane dining landscape. Located in Hamilton, the venue blends tradition with high-end service and design, with a focus on meat quality, wine pairing, and hands-on staff involvement. The restaurant is now open for bookings.
