  • Apartments / use 8 units Townhouses accretiveEight new three-storey townhouses on a long-vacant, overgrown MDR-zoned arterial site is exactly the medium-density infill this Kessels Road sub-precinct is zoned for, and on balance it lifts rather than erodes surrounding amenity.
  • Apartments / use Multi dwelling neutralThis is only a two-year extension of an existing approval's clock; the packet does not state what was approved, so no meaningful directional read on surrounding property is possible from this document alone.
  • Apartments / use 3-storey Office accretiveA tidy small-scale boutique office replacing a tired dwelling on a busy arterial corner, hemmed by big-box retail and industry - low-risk renewal that lifts the streetscape rather than threatening neighbours.
  • Apartments / use 3-storey Self storage warehouse mixedA modern multistorey self-storage facility replacing tired single-storey sheds on a specialised-centre site is broadly benign for the neighbourhood, but stacking three levels hard against low/medium-density homes on the northern boundary is the one real friction point.

Flood

Does Macgregor 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.
