The Nepal Peace Pagoda in Brisbane, is located at the transformed
Brisbane World Expo '88 site, South Bank Parklands. It is one of the
most significant heritage items in Brisbane from the hosting of the
Expo. It is the only international exhibit remaining on the site. In
1991 it was moved to its current location, amongst the rainforest near
the northern riverbank entrance to the Southbank Parklands
The Peace Pagoda was built by German architect Jochen Reier (APAC) on behalf of the Kingdom of Nepal. Immediately, 80 tonnes of indigenous Nepalese timber were sourced from the Terai jungle forest of Nepal, carted across to the capital Kathmandu where 160 Nepalese families worked for two years at crafting its diverse elements. These were then shipped to Australia in two 40-foot containers and one 20-foot container, where they were assembled at the Expo site by a handful of Australian workers under Nepalese supervision. The final assembly for World Expo '88 only took a few days.
