What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • Apartments / use 2 units Dual occupancy neutralA private owner's two-storey extension of their own rear dual-occupancy dwelling in Kangaroo Point: capital being sunk into the housing stock, with only a minor, well-mitigated setback intrusion on one neighbour.
  • Apartments / use 50 units Apartments accretiveA prestige heritage-led riverfront renewal that lifts the tone of an already high-density Kangaroo Point precinct — net positive for surrounding values, with the usual adjacent-overshadow and multi-year-build caveats.
  • Apartments / use Retail neutralMarcus Reid: this is a council/State currency-period extension on park-classified land at Kangaroo Point, not a fresh approval — the dial doesn't move until the parent project (A003896337) is read.
  • Apartments / use 7 units Apartments neutralA purely defensive privacy tweak to an existing occupied building. It changes nothing for the street and, if anything, quietly tidies up amenity between two adjoining unit blocks.
  • Apartments / use 240 units Apartments mixedA long-stalled 240-unit Ozcare scheme on the Kangaroo Point peninsula keeps its approval alive to 2031, so this paperwork changes nothing on the ground today and the real question is whether it ever gets built.
  • Apartments / use 172 units Apartments (residential tower) accretiveA polished, heavily-landscaped 30-storey tower lifting an inner-city renewal block beside Cross River Rail; this particular approval is only a design tidy-up of an already-green-lit building, so it moves nothing on its own.
  • Apartments / use 107 units Apartments (mixed-use tower with ground-floor retail/commercial and cinema) neutralA post-completion administrative tweak to parking access and disability signage on an already-built tower; no bearing on surrounding property.
  • Apartments / use 239 units Apartments mixedThe change application itself (a basement sewer realignment and two replacement courtyards) is immaterial to neighbours; the underlying 239-unit twin-tower riverfront development is transformative for Kangaroo Point but brings years of heavy disruption to the immediate low-rise neighbours before the upside lands.
  • New lots 5 lots 8 River Tce, Kangaroo Point QLD 4169
  • Apartments / use 69 units Apartments (mixed-use residential tower over ground-floor retail/restaurant) accretiveA minor tweak to an already-approved premium riverside tower in an established high-density precinct — net positive for the surrounding streetscape once built, with a long, heavy construction period the only real near-term drag.

Flood

Does Kangaroo Point 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.
