What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • New lots 2 lots 76 Kates Street, Morningside
  • Apartments / use 1-storey Warehouse/industrial (brewery) mixedAn administrative tidy-up that strips a small public taproom/hotel off a now-built industrial brewery in a dedicated industry estate. Effectively neutral for surrounding industrial land, with a faint negative for the estate's residential fringe from losing a destination amenity while the 24/7 industrial use stays.
  • Apartments / use 2-storey Shopping centre accretiveA minor refinement to an already-approved upgrade of the Woolworths-anchored Morningside Central: removing the Wynnum Road first floor trims bulk at the residential edge, the new mezzanine is internal and invisible from the street, and the revised flood channel reads as net-beneficial — directionally supportive of surrounding amenity.
  • Apartments / use 1-storey Cafe (food and drink outlet) - fit-out within existing commercial character building accretiveA tiny, morning-only neighbourhood cafe in an existing corner commercial-character building is a mild lifestyle plus for Hawthorne's surrounding homes, with the usual cafe downsides pre-empted by tight noise and hours conditions.
  • Apartments / use 6 units Townhouses accretiveA modest, well-conditioned six-townhouse infill on a main-road LMR2 site, replacing a tired timber house - it is the zoned intent for Wynnum Road and reads as renewal rather than over-development.
  • Apartments / use 12 units Warehouse / small-bay industrial strata units with ancillary office mezzanines accretiveQuality small-bay industrial strata infill on a General Industry B lot — a modest streetscape and design uplift for the Dunhill Crescent industrial pocket, with essentially no residential-amenity downside; this particular s81 change barely moves the dial off the already-approved baseline.
  • New lots 2 lots 326 & 340 Thynne Road, Morningside
  • New lots 2 lots 15 Pinedale Street, Morningside
  • Apartments / use 18 units Apartments neutralA paper transaction that keeps a long-stalled 18-unit approval alive — the directional read sits on the underlying multiple-dwelling project, which is intended renewal for a District Centre corridor and broadly neutral-to-accretive for Morningside.
  • New lots 2 lots 54 Kates Street, Morningside QLD 4170

Flood

Does Morningside 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.
