  • New lots subdivision 100 Illaweena St, Calamvale
  • Apartments / use Material Change of Use + Reconfiguring a Lot (detail in parent DA A004922489) neutralMarcus Reid: this is a paperwork extension keeping an existing Calamvale MCU/RoL approval alive to 2030, not a fresh build event, so it moves the needle on neighbouring property only insofar as it signals the site is being held rather than developed now.
  • New lots 5 lots 10 Fatima Place, Calamvale
  • New lots subdivision 91 Benhiam Street, Calamvale QLD 4116
  • Apartments / use 2-storey Educational establishment (school — demountable classrooms + 2-storey permanent teaching building) neutralAn interim classroom top-up at a long-established Calamvale school with no enrolment increase: effectively neutral for surrounding homes, with a mild short-term construction nuisance and a modest long-run amenity benefit from a well-resourced local school.
  • Apartments / use 64 units Retirement village + aged care + ancillary medical accretiveAn approved-and-commenced 64-unit retirement village plus 102-bed aged care facility on a 2.1ha Calamvale holding is broadly accretive seniors-amenity infill, but the funding gap behind this extension means the dial won't move until a new backer is found.
  • Apartments / use 89 units Townhouses (no building work in this change — at-grade car park only) neutralA body-corporate housekeeping tweak — sealing an unused front lawn for 17 visitor bays — that does next to nothing to surrounding property values and, if anything, slightly helps neighbours by pulling overflow cars off the Benhiam Street verge.
  • New lots 2 lots 23 Biryani Place, Calamvale
  • Apartments / use 42 units Townhouses neutralA single private patio on one unit of a long-completed townhouse estate — zero directional effect on surrounding property; the development that actually mattered here happened over a decade ago.

Flood

Does Calamvale 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.

What this tells you, and what it doesn't

A high owner-occupier share, paired with a professional resident base, is a demand signal: people buy here to live, not to flip. It says nothing about the specific street or block. The per-address report puts these residents next to the exact lot, its zoning and what is being built nearby.
