What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • New lots 2 lots 8 Biggs St, East Brisbane QLD 4169
  • Apartments / use 12 units Mixed use (neighbourhood retail centre with apartments above) neutralA trivial internal fit-out to grow an existing IGA by about 82 square metres — it does not move the dial on surrounding property either way.
  • New lots 2 lots 74 Longlands Street, East Brisbane QLD 4169
  • Apartments / use 26 units Mixed apartments + townhouses + retained/relocated detached houses accretiveA character-sympathetic medium-density infill that retains two pre-1946 homes on a busy East Brisbane corner — net positive for the street, with a real but finite construction-noise cost to immediate neighbours.
  • Apartments / use 4 units Apartments accretiveA boutique four-unit redevelopment of tired post-war stock on an already-unitised riverside street: in-keeping renewal that lifts the quality of the streetscape rather than overloading it.
  • Apartments / use Multi dwelling neutralCannot give a firm directional read from this packet — it is only a currency-period extension; the actual built form lives in the original approval A002345852, which is not included here.
  • New lots 2 lots 971 & 973 Stanley St E, East Brisbane QLD 4169
  • Apartments / use 72 units Apartments accretiveQuality residential density replacing a tired showroom/warehouse on a prominent park-facing corner — this lifts the street rather than burdening it, and it's a height step-up the neighbourhood plan already anticipated.
  • Apartments / use 2-storey Industrial building (warehouse / low impact industry) accretiveA tired motor-workshop-era shed on a residential-industrial edge is being replaced by a smaller, better-articulated building with verge and footpath improvements — a quiet amenity uplift rather than new intensification.
  • New lots 2 lots 15 Kennedy Tce, East Brisbane (1 into 2)

Flood

Does East Brisbane 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.
