What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • New lots 7 lots 64 Railway Terrace, Sherwood QLD 4075
  • Apartments / use 4-storey Warehouse self storage neutralA benign, quiet self-storage box on a long-vacant industrial lot - it tidies the streetscape without lifting it, and it's about the least disruptive neighbour an LII estate could draw.
  • Apartments / use 4 units Townhouses accretiveMarcus Reid: a clean, small-scale townhouse infill that takes a tired single dwelling to its zoned potential in an MDR pocket already densifying — mildly positive for the suburb, with modest bulk/overlooking trade-offs for the two closest neighbours and a genuine flood tag on the land.
  • Apartments / use 79 units Apartments + townhouses (mixed residential) accretiveCompleting a long-stalled, GFC/flood-frozen infill masterplan on former industrial land with quality landscaped stock is a net positive for Sherwood, tempered by real multi-year construction disruption and added apartment supply.
  • Apartments / use Multi dwelling neutralThis is only a paperwork extension that keeps a lapsing approval alive — the substantive built form sits in parent DA A003975089/A005080722, which is not in this packet, so a directional read on neighbours cannot be responsibly drawn from these documents alone.
  • Apartments / use 2-storey Shopping centre accretiveA modern Woolworths upgrade on an already-commercial Sherwood corner: a convenience and amenity lift for surrounding homes, with a finite construction-period nuisance and a parking/traffic pinch on Primrose Street to watch.
  • New lots 5 lots 64 Railway Terrace, Sherwood (1 into 4 lots plus balance)
  • Apartments / use 2-storey Childcare mixedA purpose-built 114-place childcare centre on a Sherwood corner block: a genuine convenience amenity for surrounding families, but the immediate Bute Street neighbours wear twice-daily drop-off traffic and a long demolition-and-basement build.
  • Apartments / use Neighbourhood centre commercial neutralA minor regularisation of a tiny cafe-scale food outlet within an existing Sherwood local centre — a non-event for surrounding property values, mildly positive for walk-up convenience.
  • Apartments / use 20 units Apartments accretiveQuality owner-occupier apartment renewal on a long-zoned medium-density site beside Sherwood station, with the usual trade-offs of a 5-storey form on a low-rise street.

Flood

Does Sherwood 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.
