Understanding Kangaroo Point's Zoning
Kangaroo Point's zoning is governed by the Brisbane City Plan 2014 and relevant neighbourhood plan provisions. Your zoning determines what can be built on your property — and critically, how much it's worth.

- Height: 2-3 storeys
- What you can build: Townhouses, duplexes
- Development premium: Moderate — 30-50% above residential

- What you can build: Walk-up apartments
- Development premium: Significant — 50-80% above residential

How Zoning Affects Your Property Value
Consider two identical blocks in Kangaroo Point:
| Zoning | Potential Yield | Estimated Value |
|---|---|---|
| Low Density | 1 dwelling | Standard residential |
| Medium Density | 8-12 apartments | 50-80% premium |
| High Density | 20-40+ apartments | 100-150%+ premium |
Same block size — dramatically different values based on zoning alone.
Overlays and Constraints
