Zoning and Height

The single biggest price driver. Higher density zoning allows more dwellings, generating more revenue, which means developers can pay more for the land.

Location Within the Suburb

Properties on or near Daisy Hill Road, Alexander Road, Allamanda Drive, and Mt Lindesay Highway access command premiums due to higher density zoning, better transport access, and stronger end-buyer appeal.

Site Configuration

Wide frontage (15m+), flat topography, and corner positions increase value. Narrow, deep blocks or steeply sloping sites attract fewer buyers.

Existing Approvals

A site with a current DA typically sells for 10-20% more than an unapproved site, as the buyer avoids months of approval risk and holding costs.

How Shailer Park Compares

Shailer Park commands a premium within Logan for its elevated positioning, school catchments, and bushland character. Comparable to suburban-lifestyle suburbs in Brisbane at more accessible pricing.

Key insight: Properties that would sell for a standard residential price regularly achieve significant premiums when marketed correctly as development sites.
