About South Brisbane

South Brisbane is the cultural and entertainment gateway of Brisbane, home to South Bank Parklands, the Queensland Cultural Centre, and the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. It has transformed from an industrial area into one of Brisbane's most vibrant mixed-use precincts with premium apartment towers, boutique retail, and world-class dining along Melbourne Street and Grey Street.

Development Potential

Very high for mixed-use and high-density residential. The South Brisbane Riverside Neighbourhood Plan supports significant intensification. Sites along Grey Street, Melbourne Street, and Vulture Street command some of the highest per-square-metre rates in Brisbane for development land.

Key Zoning: Centre Zone, High Density Residential, Mixed Use

Growth Drivers

  • South Bank masterplan ongoing expansion
  • Cultural precinct attracts premium tenants
  • Cross River Rail improving connectivity
