  • New lots 2 lots 9 Daniells Street, Carina
  • New lots 2 lots 50 Adelaide Street, Carina
  • Apartments / use 5 units Townhouses accretiveAnticipated, well-resolved infill — five quality two-storey townhouses replacing one tired dwelling in a zone that explicitly contemplates 2-3 storey density, so it lifts rather than erodes the surrounding street.
  • Apartments / use 12 units Patio / outdoor structure (within multiple dwelling complex) neutralMarcus Reid: a single rear patio roof on one townhouse in an established 25-year-old complex is invisible to the wider street and will not move surrounding values either way.
  • New lots 2 lots 23 Lunga Street, Carina
  • Apartments / use 4 units Townhouses accretiveQuality new townhouses replacing a tired house-and-shed on a street already dominated by four-unit developments — renewal that completes an established pattern rather than changing the neighbourhood's character.
  • Apartments / use 1-storey Patio roof addition to existing townhouse unit neutralA 22 m2 insulated patio roof over one existing unit's courtyard — this is a homeowner amenity addition with no measurable effect on surrounding property values.
  • Apartments / use 4 units Apartments accretiveMarcus Reid: a modest, well-resolved four-unit infill on a corner block that does exactly what the LMR zone intends, and this change actually lowers the building, so the directional pull on the street is gently positive.

Flood

Does Carina 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.
