EP 307 Smaller Blocks, Bigger Questions
from Brisbane Property Podcast Hosted by brisbanepropertypodcast
Brisbane City Council has adopted new planning changes that could reshape parts of the city, including smaller lot sizes, increased building heights and greater housing density in selected Low to Medium Density Residential areas. In this episode of the Brisbane Property Podcast, Scott and Melinda unpack what these changes mean for buyers, investors and existing property owners, and why zoning alone does not guarantee development potential. In this episode, we discuss: Where 120sqm lots may now be possible How increased density could affect existing homeowners The opportunities for investors and developers Why site access, slope, frontage and services matter How construction costs can impact feasibility What buyers should investigate before assuming a property has development upside Whether you’re buying, investing, developing or already own property in an affected area, understanding how your neighbourhood could change is an important part of property due diligence.
