About BrisbaneUpdates

BrisbaneUpdates is an independent online guide to Brisbane and South East Queensland. We cover local news, what’s on, family activities, restaurants and cafes, attractions, deals and promotions, local businesses and the suburbs people call home.

What we cover

  • News: local stories from Brisbane and the wider region, with links to the official sources we relied on.
  • What’s On: events, markets, festivals, exhibitions and community happenings, with dates, venues and booking details checked against the organiser’s own information.
  • Family: school-holiday ideas, playgrounds, free activities and practical guides for parents and carers.
  • Deals: sales and promotions from local and national retailers, including Black Friday, Christmas and Boxing Day offers, each with an expiry date and a link to the retailer’s own terms.
  • Explore: places to eat, drink, visit and discover across the region.
  • My Area: suburb-by-suburb pages that bring together the news, events, deals and places relevant to where you live.

Where we cover

Brisbane City, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Redland City, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. If your suburb is not listed yet, tell us and we will add it to the queue.

How we work

Every article starts with a source we can point to: a council page, a government department, an organiser, a venue or a business’s own published information. Where facts change over time (opening hours, prices, dates), we record when we checked them and recheck on a schedule. We say so plainly when something could not be confirmed, and we correct mistakes quickly. Our Editorial Policy and Corrections Policy explain this in detail.

We use software tools, including AI-assisted drafting, to help research and prepare content. Every published article is reviewed by a person before it goes live, and every factual claim is tied to a source. Images generated or edited with AI tools are labelled as illustrations and are never presented as photographs of a real event.

Independence

BrisbaneUpdates is independently operated. We are not owned by, affiliated with or endorsed by any council, government agency, media group or retailer we write about. Sponsored content, affiliate links and partnerships are always labelled; see Advertising & Partnerships.
