Newstead Gasworks, Industrial heritage site in Brisbane City, Australia.

Newstead Gasworks is a former gas facility in the Newstead area of Brisbane, Australia, built around a large cylindrical iron frame that once held gas. The surrounding land has been redeveloped into a mixed-use area with shops, restaurants, and residential buildings, while the original metal frame remains standing.

Brisbane Gas Company began making town gas at Petrie Bight in November 1865, after the colonial government authorised private enterprise on the site in 1864. The No.2 gasholder, built there in 1873 from puddled iron, was re-erected at Longland Street when the company moved to its 22-acre Newstead site, bought in 1883, and first produced gas there in 1887. The frame was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 24 June 2005.

The iron gasholder frame now stands at the center of a modern retail and residential area in Newstead. Visitors can eat, shop, or walk around while the old metal structure rises above them as an everyday backdrop.

The whole site is easy to walk around and can be visited at any time of day. It is worth setting aside a bit of extra time to take in both the old structure and the shops and restaurants around it.

The No.2 gasholder was made of puddled iron in 1873 at Petrie Bight and re-erected at Longland Street as part of the 1887 move to Newstead; the No.1 holder stayed behind. The site entered the Queensland Heritage Register on 24 June 2005. The company's engineer for the shift was JH Tomlinson, who arrived in 1880 from Birmingham.
