  • New lots 0 lots 540 & 542 Sandgate Road, Clayfield
  • New lots 2 lots 22 Childs Street, Clayfield QLD 4011
  • Apartments / use 1-storey Childcare neutralA capacity bump on a long-standing, character-retaining childcare centre on a busy corner opposite a high school - convenient for young families, marginal for neighbours, and no community pushback.
  • New lots 2 lots 125-127 Alexandra Road, Clayfield QLD 4011
  • Apartments / use 16 units Townhouses accretiveQuality medium-density renewal of a large under-utilised Clayfield parcel beside two rail lines; the change itself (staging + colours) is immaterial to neighbours, but the underlying 16-townhouse build is mildly supportive of surrounding values.
  • New lots 2 lots 55 Hockings Street, Clayfield
  • Apartments / use 1 unit Apartments neutralA ground-floor owner-occupier enclosing their own balcony and adding a bedroom inside an existing 1970s tower — invisible to the street and irrelevant to surrounding values.
  • New lots subdivision 830 SANDGATE RD CLAYFIELD QLD 4011
  • Apartments / use 6 units Townhouses accretiveSix quality 3-storey townhouses replacing two tired houses on a corner already lined with 2-3 storey unit blocks — this is the exact infill the zone was written for, and it reads as gentle, sympathetic renewal rather than a density dump.
  • Apartments / use 5 units Low-rise walk-up apartments neutralA paperwork use-change on an existing 1960s 5-unit walk-up: it legalises short-stay letting but builds nothing, so the street's built form and density are unchanged and the directional impact on neighbours is close to neutral.

Flood

Does Clayfield 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.
