What is a PPP?

  • A Public Private Partnership is a form of contractual arrangement between Government and the private sector which harnesses the skills and capability of the private sector in designing, constructing, operating, maintaining and financing major infrastructure projects.

    One of the key characteristics of a Public Private Partnership is that the Government maintains control of the infrastructure by monitoring the performance of the private sector. The Government makes payments based on a performance regime and if necessary, can 'step-in' to ensure services are delivered. A Public Private Partnership brings new incentives to the private sector to deliver infrastructure as payments do not commence until the facilities are ready for operation.

The Site

The four hectare site in South Brisbane is bounded by Merivale Street to the west, Colchester Street and the busway/train line to the east, Glenelg Street to the north and Tribune Street to the south.

Following the 1993 amalgamation which formed the institute, Southbank was spread across three campuses – South Brisbane, Kangaroo Point and Morningside.

The Southbank Education and Training Precinct redevelopment will allow Southbank Institute to have the majority of its faculties and teaching teams on one central, inner-city campus. The exception will be the Queensland School of Printing and Graph9 August, 2007e Morningside campus.
