Brisbane International Cruise Terminal (BICT) is vital to Queensland’s transport and tourism infrastructure, accommodating the world’s largest cruise ships and growing visitor numbers to South East Queensland. The design of BICT focusses on the efficient movement of passengers from kerb to cabin with an emphasis on creating a pleasant, intuitive and memorable experience. Combining a 9300sqm terminal building, a 270m long elevated walkway, a 200m long wharf, new riverfront open space, and extensive carparking facilities, the precinct creates a fitting new gateway for Brisbane’s visitors and patrons.
The design of the BICT positions it as a world-class terminal. Designed with passenger experience, operational efficiency and future flexibility as core principles, passengers can make their way comfortably through the terminal, with the layout and passenger flows arranged to optimise space, reduce passenger travel distances and enable intuitive way finding. The flow rates for passengers through the terminal have exceeded our design targets, highlighting its operational efficiency and the flexibility built into the design will enable changes in processing or security requirements in future. The terminal has successfully had over 2 million passengers transit through the facility.
