What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • Apartments / use 2 units Dual occupancy accretiveA low-key, single-storey duplex replacing one tired house near Cannon Hill Station - gentle, transit-appropriate renewal that neighbours will barely notice.
  • Apartments / use 36 units Apartments mixedExactly the kind of medium-density renewal the MR zone anticipates — net positive for the precinct, but the 5-storey scale and ~64 cars feeding onto a quiet street will be felt by the immediate neighbours.
  • Apartments / use 5 units Rooming accommodation (co-living / boarding house) — 5 self-contained studio units with shared kitchen/living/laundry mixedA tidy new build that reads as a house but functions as a 5-room boarding operation on a small character lot — neutral-to-positive on built form, but the intensity and 2-cars-for-5-rooms parking is what the street will actually feel.
  • Apartments / use 5 units Rooming accommodation mixedA tidy single-storey, character-clad shared-housing build on a long-vacant lot is a net tidy-up for the streetscape, but five rooms behind only two on-site parks and the rooming-accommodation use itself will sit uneasily with the owner-occupiers either side.
  • Apartments / use 10 units Townhouses (terrace-style, three separate buildings) accretiveTextbook code-assessable infill renewal: two tired post-war houses make way for 10 well-parked three-storey townhouses in a pocket that is already mostly 3-6 storey unit blocks, so it nudges the streetscape up, not out of character.

  • New lots 2 lots 107 Molloy Road, Cannon Hill
  • New lots 2 lots 69 Shrapnel Road, Cannon Hill
  • Apartments / use 1 unit Warehouse neutralAn internal mezzanine extension inside an existing warehouse unit in a low-impact industrial estate; it does not move the dial on surrounding property either way.

Flood

Does Cannon Hill 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.
