  South Bank Corporation - History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Following World War II, South Bank went into decline and not even the decision in 1977 by the Queensland Government to establish a world class architecturally impressive Performing Arts Centre, on the riverfront alongside Victoria Bridge, was able to drag the area out of the quagmire it had become.
However, South Bank had become so popular that a public campaign successfully lobbied for the site to be developed as parkland for the enjoyment of the people of Brisbane.
This marked a significant milestone for South Bank Corporation because one of its key strategic directions is to embrace the blue space which causes a physical divide in Brisbane by creating better linkages and connectivity between the north and south side of the river.
