What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • Apartments / use 20 units Apartments mixedA 36-storey whole-floor luxury sliver on a 367m2 lot re-rates every small site on this block if approved, but it is squarely dilutive for the adjoining Hudson and Bellagio owners losing Story Bridge views, light and three-plus years of amenity, and the approval itself is far from certain.
  • Apartments / use 39-storey Commercial office tower (mixed-use with heritage adaptive reuse) accretiveA genuine landmark renewal of an under-used Cathedral Precinct block — sensitively retains the heritage frontages while delivering a premium CBD office tower with a public through-site link — and this particular change barely moves the dial for neighbours.
  • Apartments / use 1 unit Mixed use heritage adaptive reuse accretiveBringing a fire-scarred, long-vacant heritage warehouse back to life with restored retail frontage and a single residence above is a clear net positive for this corner of the CBD.
  • Apartments / use 38-storey Commercial office tower accretiveA genuine landmark-grade renewal of a tired Cathedral Precinct car-park-and-heritage pocket into an activated, ground-level public realm beneath a premium office tower — clearly accretive to surrounding CBD amenity and prestige.
  • Apartments / use 39 units Apartments neutralA retrospective tidy-up of one retractable glass balcony screen on a single unit of an existing riverfront apartment building — zero measurable effect on surrounding property.
  • Apartments / use – Standby power plant neutralA 'high impact industry' label that sounds alarming but is purely the planning-code classification for backup diesel generators on an existing CBD office tower — no new bulk, no residents displaced, negligible effect on surrounding property.
  • Apartments / use 998 units Apartments (two-tower mixed-use high-rise over a 7-storey podium) accretiveA high-quality, ground-floor-active two-tower renewal of a tired CBD site lifts the streetscape for surrounding owners, but the ~1,000-unit injection is a genuine supply event the local apartment and serviced-apartment market has to absorb.
  • Apartments / use 33-storey Commercial office tower (CBD mixed-use podium) — this change adds standby generators + bulk fuel storage (high impact industry) neutralA back-of-house resilience upgrade hidden inside an already-approved premium CBD tower — it firms up a landmark building's reliability without changing anything a neighbour will see, so the directional effect on surrounding property is essentially neutral, with the parent tower itself being the genuinely accretive event.
  • Apartments / use 24-storey Office tower (commercial) with ground-level food and drink outlet accretiveA well-capitalised institutional refurbishment of a CBD office tower with an activated Queen Street frontage — a modest net positive for the surrounding commercial precinct, not a residential-amenity event.
  • Apartments / use – Office (end-of-trip facility extension within an existing CBD office building) accretiveA modest but genuinely positive CBD upgrade: an end-of-trip fit-out paired with a new 24-hour public through-block arcade and creative lighting improves street permeability and night-time activation without imposing any of the usual density downsides.

Flood

Does Brisbane City flood? It's a street-by-street question.

A suburb-wide flood figure hides the only answer that matters: whether the specific lot you are looking at sits inside a mapped overlay.

Where we're straight with you
We hold the parcel-level flood overlay here.

Flood overlays for Brisbane are in our map. The per-lot answer (in or out of the overlay) is on the address report, not a suburb average.
