About West End

West End is Brisbane's most eclectic inner-city suburb, combining a vibrant arts and music scene with world-class dining on Boundary Street. The suburb has seen dramatic transformation with major apartment developments along Montague Road and the Brisbane River frontage, while retaining its Queenslander character streets. Its proximity to South Bank, the CBD, and the University of Queensland makes it one of Brisbane's most desirable postcodes.

Development Potential

Strong. The Kurilpa Masterplan and South Brisbane Riverside Neighbourhood Plan allow significant density along Montague Road and key corridors. Heritage character overlays protect some streets, creating a premium for sites without restrictions. Mixed-use and high-density residential sites along the river are particularly valuable.

Key Zoning: Medium Density Residential, Mixed Use, Character Residential

Growth Drivers

Kurilpa Masterplan driving precinct transformation
Brisbane River frontage premium
Inner-city lifestyle demand from young professionals
Proximity to South Bank and CBD employment
