The new casino would worsen problem gambling in Brisbane, according to a significant study on the effects of the $3.6 billion Queen's Wharf development, unless more was done to safeguard the neighborhood.
The study, which cost taxpayers at least $2 million and was a part of a larger body of work commissioned by the Queensland government, was never made public.
The study, which was based on a Gambling Impacts Survey, also discovered that problem gamblers in Brisbane accounted for 20–30% of the cash flowing into Treasury Casino at the time.
