Bulimba Barracks
Updated: Apr 30, 2025
Bulimba Barracks is set to be transformed into a stunning new neighbourhood, with plans to turn historic Former Fabrication Workshop into a new lifestyle precinct now approved by Brisbane City Council.
The plans include a boutique supermarket, retail and hospitality venues and multi-use public spaces, with an open central area for community events, pop-up shops, outdoor seating and dining spaces.
The site historically housed the Bulimba Army Base and was one of several war-time industrial sites along the Brisbane River. The Fabrication Workshops were built in 1943 and used as defence facility but have since been vacant.
The re-use of this vacant, but historically significant, site will create a vibrant community space at Bulimba Barracks for residents now and into the future.
