What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • Apartments / use 5 units Multiple dwelling (renovation of one existing unit) neutralAn owner-occupier internal remodel of one existing unit, with no change to footprint, height, storeys, dwelling count or parking — negligible directional effect on surrounding property despite the 'MCU' label.
  • Apartments / use 30 units Townhouses / attached dwellings (seniors-living villas) neutralA 13.86 sqm Colourbond patio roof on one unit of an existing complex is a non-event for surrounding property values; this is a homeowner amenity tweak, not a development.
  • Apartments / use 2 units Dual occupancy — two detached two-storey units accretiveQuality, character-compliant dual occupancy replacing a tired post-war house — gentle, house-scale infill that lifts the streetscape more than it strains it, though flood exposure and a setback variance bear watching.

  • Apartments / use Restaurant (fast-food / drive-through) neutralAn operational tweak to a long-established McDonald's on a mixed-use arterial corner: it widens the servicing-vehicle window but adds no bulk, no traffic and no new use, so the dial on surrounding property barely moves.

Flood

Does Newmarket 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.
