arly Bird Registrations Open – Experience the Rebirth of a Brisbane Icon!We are continuing our 2026 season of discovery by stepping back in time—and into the newly renovated splendor of Brisbane’s oldest surviving residence: Newstead House.
Once the finest home in the colony of Moreton Bay, Newstead House was the undisputed heart of Brisbane’s social life, legendary for hosting the city’s most lavish parties. After its extensive restoration, we are thrilled to "welcome you back" to this iconic landmark to experience its history, charm, and resilience firsthand.
This isn’t just a networking event; it’s an invitation to stand at the living connection between Brisbane’s colonial past and our vibrant present.
What to Expect:
A Grand Return to Elegance Be among the first to experience the meticulously restored Newstead House. From its 1846 origins as a Georgian cottage to the grand residence it is today, you’ll explore a venue woven into the very cultural fabric of our city. Soak up the atmosphere of a bygone era while connecting with the innovators of today.
Exquisite Catering by Cuisine on Cue Newstead House have partnered with Cuisine on Cue for this event. Known for their culinary excellence, they will be providing a menu that reflects the "lavish party" reputation of the house with a sophisticated modern twist. As always, we will have a full range of delicious options curated for our vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free members.
Stories of Ambition & Connection Whether you are exploring the house at your leisure or soaking in the stories of the Harris family (1862–1890), the evening is designed to spark conversation. Newstead House has always been a place where connections are made—come and add your own chapter to its history.
The Social Heart of the River Perched overlooking the water, Newstead House offers a peaceful yet prestigious escape from the daily grind. Enjoy premium sips and curated bites in a setting that feels worlds away from the office, but right at home in the heart of Brisbane’s heritage.
