Brisbane Airport is about to welcome a new neighbour that aims to transform the area from a travel hub into a destination in its own right. Landers Pocket, a 16-hectare lifestyle and entertainment precinct, is scheduled to open in November 2025.

Situated a short distance from the airport and DFO Brisbane, Landers Pocket brings together sport, dining and leisure in one large development. It has been described by its developers and hospitality partners as the biggest entertainment precinct to open in Queensland since Howard Smith Wharves, covering an area roughly four times the size of the popular waterfront venue.
The precinct’s anchor tenant will be 4 Pines Brewing Co., which is opening an 800-seat brewery, distillery and gastropub. The venue will include 32 draught taps pouring the company’s core range and limited-release beers brewed on site. The kitchen will offer a menu highlighting local produce and seafood, with food and drinks served across an indoor dining space and a large alfresco beer garden.
Landers Pocket will also include a distillery from Never Never Distilling Co., the South Australian gin producer known for its award-winning spirits. The distillery will craft products on site and form part of the precinct’s dining and beverage experience.
The new development will incorporate the existing Golf Central, located near Brisbane Airport. Golf Central will continue to operate within the precinct, adding new facilities such as party driving bays, a redesigned mini golf course and a high-performance training area for players seeking advanced coaching.
According to project information, Landers Pocket is being designed as a destination that caters to a wide range of visitors, including families, corporate groups and travellers. The venue will be accessible by car and is supported by a large parking area.
Plans for the next stage of the development include a 3,000-person amphitheatre for concerts and major events, along with a 1,000-person lawn designed for festivals, pop-up markets and community activities. These future additions are intended to expand Landers Pocket’s role as a venue for cultural and social gatherings in Brisbane’s north.

Landers Pocket will officially open in early November 2025 near Brisbane Airport.
