The story of Cutters Landing starts with the construction of the Colonial Sugar Refining Company Refinery (CSR Refinery) in 1892 and 1893. It operated in New Farm for over a century and was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.
The Sugar Refinery ceased operations in 1998 and Mirvac in 2000 worked alongside the Queensland Heritage Council and the Urban Renewal Taskforce to develop the innovative Cutters Landing residential precinct. In its redevelopment, a strong focus remained on maintaining The Refinery’s riverfront presentation.
Today, this unique site is a reminder of Brisbane’s industrial past. Walking through the Refinery building, you can see cast iron structures, timber trusses and exposed brickwork pitched against contemporary finishes, providing a pleasant blend of history and modern amenity.
