Riverlink Shopping Centre
Riverlink is a shopping centre located in the northern area of the CBD of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. Stage One (Riverlink West) was opened on 5 April 2007,[1] whereas Stage 2 (Riverlink East) opened on 31 May 2007.
Under development
After months of planning and discussion the Ipswich City Council proposed a development known as the Riverheart Precinct which would turn the Bremer River, which runs through Ipswich, into the focal point of the city.
On the Southern banks of the Riverheart Precinct are the parklands, riverside broadwalk and unique light and water displays.[2] On the northern bank of the river is the Riverlink Shopping Centre.
There has been strong interest in turning the old railway bridge which links the northern and southern banks of the Bremer River into a pedestrian bridge, in order to link the new shopping centre with the current mall. However, at this stage no formalised plans have been announced.
