Important message for patrons with mobility difficulties

For the convenience of patrons who have difficulty walking, a specific set down area will be open in the QPAC basement 90 minutes prior to performances in the Lyric Theatre. The set down area has easy access to the Lyric Theatre lifts.

Entry to the basement set down area is from the tunnel entrance at Grey Street. Drivers will be assisted through the boom gate to the basement level. After dropping off their passenger/s, drivers will then proceed up the ramp to Little Stanley Street for easy access to the Cultural Centre car parks. View a map here.

The basement set down area will also be open for one hour after performances.

This is a medium term solution that QPAC has put in place whilst they address the longer term access needs of all patrons.

Please be aware that the set down area has limited capacity and delays are expected. Please check the start time of your show and allow enough time for your trip.

Convention Centre Car Park, South Bank

Due to the commencement of the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre expansion project the road layout on Grey Street will be modified to accommodate a partial lane closure affecting the traffic flow on Grey Street between Glenelg & Melbourne Streets. Entry to Russell Street will be open for southbound traffic only, accepting traffic travelling left into the street & exiting left onto Grey Street. Pedestrian access to the Conservatorium Theatre from the Convention Centre car park has been changed significantly adding a possible 15 minutes to your journey. If driving, these changes will affect your next visit to Opera Queensland. Please allow sufficient time to find a park and walk to the theatre to avoid disappointment.
