The Mackay Regional Council area is one of the fastest growing regions in Queensland. Covering the areas of the former Sarina and Mirani shires and Mackay city, it extends 7261 square kilometres. With a population of around 110,000 as at June 2008 and a projected annual growth rate of 2.1 per cent, the region’s estimated population in 2031 is about 173,000 people. Its coastal location is complemented by its spectacular natural environment. This includes 31 beautiful beaches, a picturesque blue river and a pristine rainforest hinterland. Only an hour’s flight from Brisbane, the Mackay region boasts an enviable lifestyle and a buoyant economy with the benefits of a fastgrowing coastal city. It is the gateway to the rich coal deposits in the Bowen basin. It is the largest sugar-producing region in Australia and nearly a third of Queensland’s export goods originate from the Mackay region. There are about 25 different nationalities represented in the region, including people from Malta, South Africa, the Netherlands and Germany. The region also boasts the largest Australian South Sea Islander population.

A magnificent power station of the 1920s, reborn as Queensland's home of contemporary arts and culture, and the beating heart of Brisbane's festival life. On the banks of the Brisbane River, Brisbane Powerhouse is a place where history and creativity collide. A precinct alive with possibility, deeply rooted in the life of this city, and driven by a singular vision: to open minds through the arts. This is a place with a sense of play. With over 1,250 performances and events each year, our program spans festival, visual arts, music, theatre, comedy, dance, film, in conversation and digital arts. Bold, diverse and made with Brisbane in mind. We produce and power some of the city's most significant festivals and events — including the Brisbane Comedy Festival, Melt, and Night Feast. Through our Brisbane Artist in Residence program, we invest in the city's creative future, supporting local artists to create, experiment and grow. As Brisbane steps onto the world stage for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, our ambition grows with it. We are building a cultural institution of international standing — one that reflects the boldness, diversity and spirit of this city, and that welcomes the world with the full force of what Queensland's arts can offer. Brisbane Powerhouse features two main stage theatres, three smaller performance venues, gallery spaces, three restaurants and bars (Bar Alto, Mary Mae's Bar + Kitchen and Vertigo), P.S. Powerhouse Store, corporate and events facilities and one of the best river views in Brisbane. Brisbane Powerhouse is a Brisbane City Council owned venue.
