What an incredible evening at the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) Gala Awards ✨ We are thrilled to announce that our Northshore Brisbane precinct has won the Excellence in Environmental Award! 🌿🏆 This recognition highlights the incredible impact of our Northshore Brisbane Street Renewal Program, which is increasing tree canopy cover to cool the precinct, reducing outdoor heat exposure, and creating vibrant habitats. The program also features climate-resilient trees and culturally significant vegetation for First Nations peoples, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future. At Economic Development Queensland, our vision of sustainable urban communities comes to life through innovative, integrated designs that support active transport, eco-friendly living, and long-term climate resilience. 🚴♂️   A huge thank you to the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) for this recognition. This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the vision and commitment of our dedicated team and partners, whose collaboration has driven these lasting environmental benefits.   #Sustainability #Innovation #MarketLeadership

EDQ is committed to building strong, resilient, and connected communities. 💪✨ This commitment was vividly demonstrated when Flipside Circus, a cherished partner at our Northshore Brisbane precinct, was faced with fire damage to their premises earlier this year. With the help of our amazing precinct partners — Superordinary, Pink Flamingo Spiegeland, Eat Street Northshore, and Grolife Property Services — we rallied together to provide immediate support with temporary storage, rehearsal spaces, grounds maintenance, helping them keep their vital programs running. This collective effort showcases the power of place-based partnerships and the profound impact they can have on a community. 🤝🌟 At EDQ, we're proud to stand alongside our communities in times of need, proving that our partnerships are not just about place but about people. 🏘️❤️ Read more about the power of connected communities here: https://bit.ly/3YWEmBX #Partnerships #EDQ #ConnectedCommunities
