Domestic and international travellers will be frothing at Brisbane Airport next year with a brand-new sports and entertainment precinct that includes an onsite craft brewery and distillery, outdoor amphitheatre, padel tennis courts and golfing ranges.
Partnering with Brisbane-bred Green Beacon Brewing Company and Golf Central, the $18 million Landers Pocket development will provide locals and travellers alike with a new hangout at BNE.
Green Beacon will run the brewery and distillery side, while Golf Central will double its existing range, add a second mini-golf course and offer an 800-person hospitality space along with multiple function and event areas.
Brisbane Airport EGM Commercial Martin Ryan said Landers Pocket will become a landmark venue for residents and a memorable destination for travellers.
“In 2025, this will be the newest venue for Brisbane to experience, injecting jobs and vibrancy into the Skygate precinct of the airport,” he said.
“The naming of Landers Pocket is a nice nod to history and the market garden that occupied part of the airport site a century ago.”
Green Beacon Brewing Company GM Richard Shrosbery said: “This announcement is unbelievably exciting for Green Beacon. The new brewery and hospitality venue will ensure we get our award-winning beers into the hands of more beer lovers than ever before.”
Golf Central Managing Director James Cooper said Landers Pocket will deliver a reimagined golf and entertainment experience for local, interstate and international golfers.
“There will be something for everyone and we can’t wait for this next stage of our evolution to open in early 2025,” he said.
Continuing its innovative streak, BNE recently announced the arrival of The Independent dining concept to its Domestic Terminal in July 2024.
