What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • Apartments / use 12 units Apartments (two low-rise unit blocks over an undercroft car park) mixedTwelve family-sized units on a long-vacant, flood-crossed double block in a street that already has two and three storey unit blocks: a tidy-up of dead land rather than a change of character, with kerbside parking and the shallow undercroft as the two things that could bite.
  • New lots 2 lots 22 Blackburn Street, Moorooka
  • Apartments / use 5 units Townhouses accretiveQuality three-storey townhouse renewal on a recently-upzoned, transit-adjacent Moorooka block — the kind of well-parked, code-compliant infill that lifts a tired street rather than straining it.
  • Apartments / use 4 units Townhouses accretiveQuality 4-townhouse infill that is already substantially built and landscaped, on a lot zoned for exactly this density and next door to an existing unit complex — genuine renewal that lifts a tired streetscape without introducing anything the street hasn't already absorbed.
  • New lots 2 lots 67 Hansen Street, Moorooka QLD 4105
  • Apartments / use – Shopping centre neutralA safety-and-acoustics tidy-up of an already-approved Woolworths extension. Neutral to mildly positive for the immediate residential neighbours, with the only real story being the underlying centre build itself.
  • Apartments / use 3 units Warehouse neutralMarcus Reid: Council blocked a push to run this Moorooka warehouse around the clock next to homes, so the surrounding amenity stays as-is — a quiet win for the neighbours rather than any real shift in value.
  • Apartments / use 8 units Warehouse mixedA tidy small-format industrial unit estate replacing two run-down houses on a General Industry A block - a clear upgrade for the industrial side of the street, but it hardens the industry/residential interface for the low-density homes opposite on Gladstone Street.
  • New lots 2 lots 83 Beaudesert Road, Moorooka
  • Apartments / use 2 units Rooming accommodation (co-living) mixedMarcus Reid: an intended-density renewal of a tired site on an arterial — neutral-to-positive at the suburb level, but the immediate low-rise neighbours wear the parking and transient-tenancy downside.

Flood

Does Moorooka 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.
