Map of Brisbane City streets

Creek Street is a major street in the central business district of Brisbane. Although the street is immediately within the Brisbane CBD, it has not been named accordingly, similar to that of other streets in the CBD. It follows a one-way south-north direction, starting at the beginning of Charlotte Street, cutting through Elizabeth Street, Queen Street, Adelaide Street, Ann Street, before coming to an end at Turbot Street in the northern end of the CBD.

Financial district

The street is part of the emerging financial district known as the "Golden Triangle". The street is lined with a wall of skyscrapers of 100m or more in height including Comalco Place, Central Plaza 1(corner), NAB House.

Street upgrade

In 2008 it was announced that the Brisbane City Council was going to convert the street into a two-way road to improve traffic flow in the CBD as part of its Town Reach project. Doubts emerged later in the year due to cost blowouts and traffic planners who questioned the new design's effectiveness.^[1] After traffic tests proved the new design was not feasible, the plan was put on hold indefinitely.^[2]
