The last 40 years have seen great changes to the Port, with its transformation from a river port to a world-class deep-water facility. Forming the Port of Brisbane precinct in the mid 1970’s , as well as developing Fisherman Islands as the future hub of port activities, were amongst the most inspirational and pivotal engineering decisions of the post-war era.
