PROPERTY X-RAY6 STONEYBROOK STREET, KENMORE HILLS QLD 4069.
The brief.
A large 980 sqm freehold block in Kenmore Hills, with in-catchment schools and moderate bushfire risk.
Strong school access and generous outdoor space for family living.
- Brookfield SS is in-catchment, 0.9 km away on foot.
- 622 sqm of outdoor space includes a pool visible in imagery.
- No easement registered, so the full lot is available for planning purposes within LDR zone rules.
- Moderate bushfire risk means building work may require upgraded ember protection.
- If daily commuting by public transport matters, one bus route with unknown frequency is the only option.
High-income suburb, low crime trend, but rental estimate needs checking.
- Kenmore Hills median household income is $168,428, supporting strong tenant quality.
- Rent growth ran at 10.4% per year over the three years to December 2025.
- Brookfield SS at 0.9 km supports family tenant demand and longer-tenure rentals.
- Rental estimate of $760 per week carries low confidence; check current listings before committing.
- 33 subdivision applications within 5 km may add competing newer-stock rental supply.

The property.
What you're actually buying. Lot size, building footprint, structures detected from aerial + ground-view imagery, and how this block compares to its suburb.
The street has a well-established, leafy character with mature canopy trees lining the verge. Neighbouring homes are a mix of older brick and more recently updated properties, all appearing well maintained. The area feels quiet and residential, with wide grass verges, good kerbing, and no visible commercial activity.
Dimensions
Meets Brisbane's dimensional thresholds for a 2-lot split (side-by-side).
Overlays to confirm with council or a town planner, as any one can affect or block a subdivision on its own: bushfire, character overlay (pre-1946 demolition control).
Subject to services, slope and overlay assessment.
Ground levels are not assessed: sloping sites may need cut and fill, and engineered retaining walls can add significant cost. For costings, consult a civil engineer and a registered surveyor.

The same spot across the decades, from the Queensland Government aerial archive. Drag through the years and watch what changes.
- Dams and water lines
- A dam or creek line visible in an early frame but absent today can mean filled ground. Cross-check the flood section and ask about it at inspection.
- Structures near the boundary
- A permanent structure (anything with footings and a roof) that appears between frames close to a boundary line may have needed a siting relaxation from council. Check the development applications section for a matching approval.
- Vegetation change
- Thinning or cleared vegetation across the years is useful context for the bushfire reading and for how established the street has become.

A sewer service lateral runs across this lot. Worth checking the alignment before designing extensions or pools.
| Fact | Value | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Sewer main at street | 20 m, gravity, AC, 150mm | PE and PVC are modern; closer is cheaper to connect |
| Sewer manhole | 25 m, 3.1 m deep | May sit on a public easement |
| Service lateral on lot | Yes | Building over it can be costly to repair |
| Sewer treatment plant | None within 500 m | Plants can carry intermittent odour |
| Water main | 23 m, 150mm, AC | Supports standard household demand |
| Nearest hydrant | 25 m | About 90 m is the typical fire standard |
| Recycled water | Not available here | Dual-piped suburbs irrigate cheaper |
| In planned extension | No | For fringe estates not yet connected |
Deep. Room to fall a basement straight to sewer.
- Service lateral
- A small private pipe that connects your house to the public sewer in the street. It usually runs through your front yard. If a future build sits on top of it, repairs may require digging through a slab or driveway.
- Sewer main material
- Older suburbs often have vitreous clay or cast iron mains laid in the 1960s and earlier. Newer estates use polyethylene or PVC. Material matters because failure rates rise with age, and a future main replacement can disrupt the street.
- Invert level and depth
- A deeper sewer can serve a deeper basement; a shallow one limits how low your fixtures can sit without a pump.
- Sewer pump station
- A small pumping facility that lifts sewage uphill where gravity will not do the work. Modern ones are mostly silent and odour-controlled, but worth checking on a warm summer day.
- Sewer treatment plant
- Where sewage is processed before release. Modern plants run quietly with significant odour control, but on a hot day the boundary smell can carry several hundred metres.
- Hydrant location
- Hydrants supply water for fire-fighting. A hydrant within 90 m of a property is a typical regulatory standard.
- Service extension area
- Some properties on the urban fringe are scheduled for future sewer connection. Until then a septic system is required, which adds ongoing running and inspection costs.
No high-voltage transmission easement is registered over this lot. The nearest line and substation distances below are context only.
The nearest line is far enough away that it is not visible from the lot.
| Fact | Value | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| HV easement on lot | None registered on this lot | A no-build corridor caps where you can build |
| Nearest HV line | 2056 m, 110 kV | Further away means less visual and resale concern |
| Nearest substation | None detected nearby | Some buyers and lenders weigh proximity |
| Corridor voltage | 110 kV | Higher voltage usually means a wider easement |
- Transmission easement (no-build corridor)
- A high-voltage transmission easement is a strip of your land registered to the network operator so the lines can be accessed and kept clear. Inside it you generally cannot build, extend, or even put a pool or shed, and the restriction runs with the title to every future owner. On a small lot that strip can swallow a large share of the buildable area, which caps both renovation and development upside.
- Why distance to the lines matters
- Proximity to high-voltage lines and substations is not a title burden, but it does shape the buyer pool. Perception and EMF concerns make some buyers and some lenders wary, fairly or not, which can thin the field at resale. The lines are also visible from the yard. We report the exact distance so you can weigh it with your own eyes: further away means less concern.
- Effect on subdivision and development
- A transmission corridor running through or beside a lot can constrain a future subdivision, because the no-build strip and the access setbacks reduce the developable footprint. If your plan relies on splitting the block or adding a second dwelling, check the corridor alignment before you commit.
- Coverage and confirmation
- Easement corridors are mapped per council and some overlays are not yet published, so a clear result here is only as good as the council layer behind it. Where the overlay is missing we say so rather than imply the lot is clear. Either way, the title search is the definitive record of what is registered on the land.
Feng shui is a traditional belief system, included for cultural interest. It is not factual, scientific, financial, or valuation advice, and is not a substitute for a personalised consultation with a qualified practitioner.
Reads favourably overall: an auspicious street number, with a lot-shape consideration that is easily softened with the cure noted below.
A meaningful share of SEQ buyers weighs feng shui, so these factors influence demand and resale regardless of personal belief. Treat this as a saleability signal, not advice.

Factors weighed
Tap a wedge or a sign for its detail.
- Solar & Bright Aspectneutral
The rear aspect faces east. An east or west aspect still gets good light for part of the day, supporting a bright, liveable space.
Remedy: brighter lighting in dark corners, mirrors to bounce light, open curtains to maximise daylight, warm bright colours, healthy plants and a well-lit entrance (the "mouth of qi")
- Lot shapechallenged
This is an irregular block. This is considered less favourable in feng shui by some buyers and practitioners. An irregular outline is read as less even in its flow of chi. It is commonly addressed with completing the square with a fence or wall, anchoring a missing corner with a lamp, statue, fountain, large stone or flagpole, landscaping to soften sharp angles, and interior mirrors to imply the missing space. For a personalised assessment, consult a qualified practitioner.
Remedy: completing the square with a fence or wall, anchoring a missing corner with a lamp, statue, fountain, large stone or flagpole, landscaping to soften sharp angles, and interior mirrors to imply the missing space
- Road alignment (sha chi)neutral
No road points head-on at the block, so there is no "poison arrow" (sha chi) alignment to note.
Remedy: a hedge, wall, fence or screen as a first line, then dense planting or a curved path; some practitioners add an outdoor convex bagua mirror, which must never be aimed at a neighbour’s home
- Street number (Chinese numerology)favourable
Number 6: ends in 6 (a favourable homophone). This is Chinese numerology (homophones), a minor resale-liquidity consideration in some submarkets, not classical feng shui.
Mitigation: cosmetic folk cures such as a red circle around the digit or lucky characters on the letterbox; a council renumbering is a rare exception
- Surrounding featuresneutral
No notably auspicious or inauspicious features close by.
Remedy: blocking the line of sight with a wall, hedge, fence or trees, a bright and well-kept (yang) interior, and for yin sources such as a cemetery or hospital a concave bagua mirror, which absorbs rather than reflects
