What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • Apartments / use 2-storey Patio roof addition neutralA small open rear patio roof on one unit of an existing townhouse cluster — invisible to the street and immaterial to surrounding property desirability.
  • Apartments / use 15 units Apartments accretiveQuality 15-unit infill apartment building on a Swann Road corridor that is already transitioning to medium density — genuine renewal that should lift the street, with the low-rise Central Avenue edge the one interface to watch.
  • Apartments / use 1 unit Low-rise walk-up units (existing, c.1975) neutralAn internal-only conversion of one existing office unit to a one-bed dwelling inside a 1970s walk-up. It will not move the dial for surrounding property either way.
  • Apartments / use 14 units Apartments mixedAn all-1-bedroom 14-unit infill block that the street has already half-become — consistent with the established medium-density character, but a serially-extended 2016 approval that still hasn't turned a sod is the real story.
  • New lots 2 lots 14 Union Street, Taringa
  • New lots 5 lots 17 Payne Street, Indooroopilly
  • Apartments / use 8 units Apartments accretiveA modest, well-resolved 8-unit apartment infill replacing a tired post-war house, 300m from Taringa station on a street that already steps from 3-4 storeys opposite to 12 storeys up the hill, so it reads as renewal rather than intrusion.
  • Apartments / use 24 units Apartments mixedQuality renewal that fits where the Swann Road ridge is already heading, but it lands an 8-storey wall hard against a single pre-1946 character house on Adsett Street.
  • Apartments / use 9 units Apartments accretiveA low-density, architecturally ambitious 9-unit building replacing two tired single dwellings in an already medium-density ridgeline strip reads as genuine renewal, not over-development.
  • Apartments / use 78 units Retirement village and aged care accretiveA well-credentialled TriCare aged-care/retirement community replacing a derelict ex-pathology lab on a street already framed by 9-to-11-storey towers; this change is a minor refinement that, if anything, slightly improves the streetscape.

Flood

Does Taringa 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.
