What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • Apartments / use 2 units Dual occupancy plus retained house neutralA paperwork-grade tidy-up of an already-approved character infill project: it strips a roof deck that would have overlooked neighbours, so if anything it nudges amenity the right way without changing density, height or footprint.
  • New lots 2 lots 50 Third Avenue, Sandgate 4017
  • New lots 2 lots 43 Kempster St, Sandgate QLD 4017
  • Apartments / use 35 units Apartments over ground-floor commercial (mixed-use medium-rise) accretiveA quality medium-rise mixed-use build replacing a tired single-storey fast-food pad in the heart of the Sandgate district centre, 200 m from the train — genuine centre renewal that lifts the immediate area, with the main watch being visitor-parking spillover and the height precedent it sets.
  • Apartments / use 1-storey Warehouse / industrial shed neutralA like-for-like industrial rebuild on an established Low Impact Industry corner that tidies a tired site without changing the character or amenity of anything around it.
  • Apartments / use 1 unit Warehouse/low impact industry with caretakers accommodation neutralA modest tidy-up of an existing industrial shed in an established industrial pocket beside Sandgate station - it formalises parking and downsizes the noisier workshop use, so the practical effect on surrounding property is close to nil and marginally positive for the one residential neighbour.
  • Apartments / use 2-storey Medical centre accretiveA modest two-storey radiology clinic replacing a derelict house adds a genuine local health-service amenity and lifts a tired district-centre frontage, with the main caveat being a tight residential interface and an acknowledged on-street parking shortfall.
  • Apartments / use 1-storey Aquatic centre accretiveA renewed heritage aquatic centre on the Bramble Bay foreshore is a clear amenity uplift for Sandgate; the only thing actually decided here — slightly longer café hours — barely moves the dial.
  • Apartments / use 2 units Dual occupancy (duplex) accretiveCharacter-sensitive gentle-density infill — a retained pre-1947 home converted into a well-parked two-dwelling duplex is the kind of renewal that supports, rather than threatens, surrounding values in Sandgate.
  • New lots 2 lots 2E Towner St & 75 Curlew St, Sandgate QLD 4017

Flood

Does Sandgate 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.

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.
