Four large riverside trees near the Wheel of Brisbane will be removed to make way for the new Neville Bonner Bridge between South Bank and the new Queen's Wharf casino, according to the latest plans.

There will also be a major reshaping of the Cultural Centre forecourt near the Wheel of Brisbane.

The four trees, three figs and a poinciana, will go under Destination Brisbane's latest plans to land the bridge to South Bank.

The bridge is being funded and built by Destination Consortium Brisbane, the consortia currently building the $3.6 billion Queen's Wharf casino and resort complex between George and William streets.
