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

The Newstead Gasworks No.2 gasholder stands 70 meters tall, featuring a circular iron frame structure that contained gas for the city's energy supply.

Built in 1873 at Petrie Bight and relocated to Newstead in 1887, this gasometer served as Brisbane's second gas manufacturing facility until operations ceased in 1971.

The preserved gasholder frame now forms the centerpiece of a modern retail and residential complex, reflecting Brisbane's industrial engineering evolution through time.

The former industrial site contains 17,000 square meters of retail space, including restaurants, shops, and a supermarket within the restored gasometer structure.

This last remaining frame-guided gasholder in Queensland received heritage status in 2005, maintaining its original puddled iron construction from the 1870s.
