Hundreds of police are warned to expect an "unpredictable" G20 as Premier Campbell Newman says "I am apprehensive".
Security barricades have gone up around four key locations in inner-city Brisbane overnight ahead of the G20 summit.
They are the foundations of what will be the G20 city's fortress.
Roads are being progressively closed, with lanes blocked at the Fortitude Valley end of Adelaide Street, at Macrossan Street and at Grey Street at South Brisbane.

The heaviest security appears to be around the Marriott Hotel at the top end of Adelaide Street near Petrie Bight, where traffic comes in from the Ivory Street road tunnel.
At the Marriott Hotel, on the corner of Adelaide and Queen streets, there is a two-metre high reinforced steel barricade outside the hotel's front door.

Fortress mode as G20 fences up
HI GEORGE, whose one and only outing over fences saw him gain a notable success at Catterick last season, makes his eagerly awaited reappearance at Sedgefield today.
Trained at Norton by Malcolm Jefferson, the gelding gained a narrow success at Catterick over Holywell, who went on to become one of the best novice chasers of the season and is now among the favourites for the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
While beating Holywell, who took a while to get the hang of jumping fences, may well have flattered Hi George, there is no doubt that he's an exciting horse.
He should be a tough but to crack in the featured Hellens Group Handicap Chase. Brian Hughes has the mount.
Distime, trained by John Quinn - Jefferson's neighbour - should be hard to beat in the Nortonthorpe Industrial Estate Huddersfield Novices' Limited Handicap Chase.
Restricted to only two outings last season, the eight-year-old returned from a lengthy absence to finish second at Aintree a couple of weeks ago to Baileys Concerto, who has been in unstoppable form lately and who has won again since at Musselburgh.
Distime should have benefited from his comeback outing and is napped to go one better this afternoon, despite having top weight to carry.
The opening Newcastle Flooring Novices' Hurdle is the target of Irish raider Balbriggan.
Trained by Gordon Elliott, whose horses are always to be feared in Britain, Balbriggan successfully mixes chasing and hurdling. The seven-year-old is already twice a winner this season. He can make it three.
Recent winners Accordingtoscript (2.50) and Agent Fedora (3.50) are also worth considering.

Champion boxer Danny Green has jumped suburban Perth fences to recover his potty-mouthed lorikeet.
Boxing champ Danny Green has jumped suburban Perth fences and scaled a tree to recover his potty-mouthed lorikeet Bozo.
Earlier he'd taken to social media to ask for help to find the beloved bird, which went missing around Watermans Bay and North Beach on Monday morning.
"Whistles like a trooper. Says f*** you, big boy and an array of other mumbo jumbo," the world champion said on Facebook.
Two hours later, he posted details of "a stressful but epic end to a funny story".
"I found Bozo! Ten metres up a Norfolk palm tree freaking out!"
After losing hope and "getting very odd looks from people in the streets" as he called for the errant parrot, Green heard a faint response from his feathered companion and began jumping fences "chihuahua in my arms, chasing the whistle".
"In n out of backyards, vacant lots n then knock on a few doors to ask to go out back n check," he wrote.
A pool maintenance man held Green's dog while the hunt continued, with the boxer climbing up the side of a house to reach Bozo in the tree.
"He was stoked to be on my shoulder. Thnx heaps to everyone for their help."

A fence stood in the way of Hanif Dhakiri, Indonesias new manpower minister, as he checked on practices at a recruitment business in Jakarta. When the door wasnt opened, Dhakiri vaulted the barrier.
Dhakiri found an inhuman shelter crammed with workers, and promptly shut the company down for breaking regulations, he said in an interview with Bloomberg TV Indonesia last week. Such are the lengths President Joko Widodo has his cabinet going to to overcome corruption, bureaucracy and wasteful spending that weigh on Southeast Asias largest economy.
Since starting work on Oct. 27, his ministers have promised to do his bidding, cut fuel subsidies and overhaul permits for investors. Widodo, known as Jokowi, has told leaders of Indonesias regions to start financing development or face penalties, as he seeks to revitalize an economy that slowed to its weakest in five years last quarter.
Jokowi has targeted small changes that add up to a pretty interesting change in approach and that shows momentum, said Paul Rowland, an independent political analyst in Jakarta. Theyre all practical things. That does augur well. And theyre happening quickly.
The moves show Jokowi, a former furniture businessman, is starting to gain traction on his election promises, even as challenges remain from the opposition gaining control of parliament to a lack of power within his own political party.
Foreign fund investors have sold almost $1 billion of Indonesian stocks in the past three months as they scale back expectations that Jokowi, the former Jakarta governor, will be able to deliver reforms.
Among Jokowis next steps are to dismantle fuel subsidies that consume a 10th of the national budget, a change that has eluded his predecessors.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Sofyan Djalil has said a fuel price move will come this month, yet the magnitude and timing is yet to be decided. Jokowi, speaking to business leaders in Beijing today, said he wants to channel the money from the subsidies to build dams, ports and railways.
On Nov. 3, the government started distributing cards that will eventually give more than 15 million low-income families access to free health care, as well as education for 160,000 children of school age and cash to soften the effect of higher fuel costs. Success with the card program and significantly reduced subsidies would be a reasonably good start, said Marcus Mietzner, an associate professor at the Australian National University in Canberra.
His rapid launch of key programs and a number of PR-attracting actions by some of his ministers have distracted from the less-than-revolutionary line-up of his cabinet, Mietzner said.

Good fences make good neighbors is one of the best-known lines from a poem written by Robert Frost, sometimes discussed as if it literally means real fences promote good relationships between neighbors, but more often used as a discussion of boundaries beyond the physical ones.
Certainly, Frost intended his message to be broader than just neighbors and people have used that quote even in discussions of borders between countries. But, as we drive around neighborhoods in Rio Rancho and Albuquerque, we are reminded that the boundaries between people in urban America matter also.
Good fences and good neighbors suggest boundary lines between properties. Most people want to believe their home consists of property that is their individual refuge. They believe that owning the property affords them a right to privacy, with an inherent right to determine what they can do with the property and whom they allow on the property. After all, it is their home and their sanctuary.
Property lines become the fences and good neighbors respect those boundaries.
But in todays urban neighborhoods, in todays world of zoning restrictions and code enforcement officers, private property has taken on new meaning. We may own the property, but we dont have the right to do anything we want on the property.
Thats a price we pay when we elect to live in a city. Sometimes its good we have police and fire protection, roads, water, schools other times we may feel our rights are being denied because we cant do whatever we want on our own property. The reality is we choose to make those compromises when we buy property in a city.
So, if we accept that good fences mean neighbors respect what others do on their own property (abiding by the urban laws, of course), we should be OK. However, that doesnt quite work either.
Neighborhoods and the people who live in them have a symbiotic relationship with each other whether they want it or not.
Yes, we individually own the property and, yes, we respect our neighbors rights to do what they want on their own property, but its not quite that simple or separate. Like it or not, the combination of individual properties make up neighborhoods.

Updated: Saturday, 08 Nov 2014 18:21 | Comments Regardless of the ultimate outcome of the Badger Ales Trophy, the aptly-named five-year-old The Young Master looks an exciting prospect over fences
There was a highly unusual twist to result of the Badger Ales Trophy at Wincanton when it emerged the winning horse was not eligible to take part.
Neil Mulholland's five-year-old The Young Master (13-2), who scored by an impressive seven lengths, had made only two previous starts over fences to his name when the conditions of the Listed handicap chase required him to have had three.
Confusion reigned at the Somerset track before the stewards held an inquiry after the last race.
The issue will now be referred to the British Horseracing Authority for further investigation.
Though the result stood for betting purposes, The Young Master could be stripped of the valuable prize in due course.
Court By Surprise was second past the post.
Simon Cowley, a stipendiary steward on duty at the course, said: "We were made aware of the potential ineligibility of The Young Master and have interviewed Neil Mulholland.
"We have no authority to disqualify after the 'weighed in' and we have referred it to the BHA."
A BHA statement read: "We have been made aware of the potential issue surrounding the eligibility of The Young Master to compete in the Badger Ales Trophy.

Win for The Young Master shrouded in controversy

Mending fences with Penticton and building fences to keep out feral horses were among the themes Thursday at an all-candidates forum on the West Bench.
Incumbent Michael Brydon and challenger Ronald Johnson, who are running to represent Area F on the board of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, squared off in front of about 50 people inside the communitys school library
Brydon, a university professor seeking a third term as director, told the crowd hes running on his track record and will take direction from voters about what his priorities should be.
Johnson, a semi-retired dentist, outlined a platform with three planks: fencing out feral horses, ending mock water bills and creating an oversight committee to keep tabs on the director.
On the issue of horses, Johnson said he would immediately get to work drawing up a plan to repair and install the necessary fences, gates and cattle guards to keep the animals out of Area F neighbourhoods, then let voters decide if they want to go ahead with it.
Every community on their own should be able to talk about it, we should have a plan that says this is going to cost you this much, this is what its going to look like, and we have either a petition or a referendum to say: Do you approve this? Johnson said.
Right now, the status quo is terrible, he continued. I want to fence out those horses, and I want a plan, and I want you to approve that plan.
Brydon countered that such a plan already exists, but it hit a snag after some residents reported seeing horses getting across cattle guards, which, if proven true, would limit effectiveness of the fencing.
