Treasury Building, Brisbane

The Treasury Building, a heritage-listed site in Brisbane Square, is the largest 19th-century government building in Australia. Constructed between 1886 and 1928, this Italian Renaissance structure served as a symbol of self-government and housed various government departments. It was occupied by the Treasury Casino from 1995 until 2024, when Griffith University announced plans to convert it into a teaching campus. The building's rich history includes significant architectural contributions from Queensland's colonial architect, John James Clark, and it remains a focal point for Brisbane's cultural and historical identity.
