Queensland opens one-stop government services hub in Brisbane CBD

Service Queensland centre on Adelaide Street offers more than 200 government services in a single location.

Queensland's new Service Queensland centre opened Monday in Brisbane's CBD. The centre brings together services that were scattered across the city.

The hub is at 119-133 Adelaide Street and includes Transport and Main Roads, the Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety, Justice, and the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

People can now apply for marriage certificates, tattoo licences, liquor permits, and enrol to vote in one place. Minister Steven Minnikin said the $2 million centre came in on budget and on time.

No jobs were lost. A website and app have also launched.

Minnikin said the next centre would likely open in North Queensland.
