I went down to have a look this morning at the Costco Brisbane North Lakes site as I had to get a few things from across the road at Bunnings and the Costco construction is coming along just nicely.

It really is quite close to us as we are in Narangba, so it will be easy for Brisbane’s Northside to get to the area and easy to find too.

As I have said, the only problem will be if you are coming from Brisbane travelling North, the intersection there is almost banked up to the highway from early on as it is, let alone on the day or weekend when Costco opens.

Anyway, here is a few pictures as promised from this mornings trip out.

As you can see there is still alot of work to be done, I couldn’t get a shot looking down due to the fact;

• I don’t own and aircraft and  couldn’t get an aerial shot of the Costco site
• There was alot of work going around in the area from the council etc and so lots of cones and trucks around so I couldn’t get into the area I wanted too

But this won’t deter me, I should be able to get the shot I want the next time I am out there. [Read more…]

Now I have written about Costco opening in Brisbane at North Lakes a few times now and last time I mentioned I thought a March grand opening date, I was pretty much very wrong by looking at the work site at the moment and also keeping up with the banter online around the place, so I think the Costco opening date will be quite a while away.

I have registered via email from the main Costco website to get information about the North Lakes opening and although I haven’t received anything as yet there are people who have gotten an email with information about the construction, membership, employment and also the location of their temporary office in North Lakes where you can sign up for membership or get brochures about Costco and what they sell and do.

I think I’ll head down there over the coming weeks and sign up and then just play the waiting game from then in regards to an opening date.
