  • Apartments / use 4-storey Mixed use centre (commercial; medical/retail/food/office/gym) mixedGenuine renewal for an under-serviced pocket of Carina, but a 4-storey commercial wall and 5 crossovers pressing onto a low-rise residential street is a real trade-off for the immediate eastern and southern neighbours.

Flood

Does Carina Heights 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.
