What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • New lots 2 lots 2 Clarendon Close, Parkinson
  • Apartments / use 74 units Townhouses accretiveA genuine renewal play: 74 new two-storey townhouses and duplexes finish off a Parkinson pocket already hemmed in by townhouse estates on both flanks, so the lift from 71 to 74 dwellings barely moves the dial for neighbours.
  • Apartments / use 3-storey Warehouse (new, replacing storage sheds) within an existing 3-storey community/education building neutralA low-intensity community/education shuffle inside an established industrial estate — it keeps a long-standing YMCA anchor running but won't move the dial on surrounding property either way.
  • Apartments / use 25 m² Townhouses neutralA 25 sqm Colourbond patio roof on the back of one townhouse in an existing complex; it has no measurable bearing on surrounding property desirability.
  • Apartments / use 71 units Townhouses (two-storey multiple-dwelling estate, building types B3/B4/B4-R/DG6/E2/E3/E4/M1) accretiveA well-resourced 71-unit townhouse estate that renews two tired Nottingham Road lots and lifts the immediate streetscape, with the real cost to neighbours being a long, disruptive build rather than any lasting drag on values.

Flood

Does Parkinson 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.
