context_page_description: William Street is a small, relatively quiet road in the uptown part of the Brisbane central business district. The street is historically significant to the city's early development as a penal colony. The first convict buildings were built along William Street in 1825.
  The street's northern end starts at the intersection of Queen Street and the Victoria Bridge.
  One of the most notable buildings on William Street is the Treasury Building which now houses the Conrad Treasury Casino. This building was built in three stages, with the William Street section being constructed first.
  The Queens Gardens are nearby with an underground carpark that exits on to William Street. The park is found on the corner of William and Elizabeth Street. On the river side of the street is the Old State Library Building.
  The gardens mark the end of the North Quay and the beginning of the government precinct. Further south is the Lands Administration Building and 1 William Street, Brisbane which contains the majority of Queensland Government departments. Also in the area is the Commissariat Store which was built by convicts in 1829, making it one of Brisbane's oldest surviving buildings.
context_section_description: The Queen's Wharf development of an entertainment precinct will be bounded by Queen Street, George Street, Alice Street and the Brisbane River. All of William Street will become part of the precinct.
