About Woolloongabba

Woolloongabba is undergoing one of the most significant urban transformations in Australian history. The new Cross River Rail underground station, the Gabba Olympic redevelopment for 2032, and progressive rezoning have made it Brisbane's premier development precinct. Once a quiet inner-south suburb known for the cricket ground, Woolloongabba is now ground zero for transit-oriented development in South East Queensland.

Development Potential

Exceptional. The Woolloongabba Priority Development Area and Cross River Rail station are catalysts for high-density residential and mixed-use development. Properties within 800m of the station attract intense developer competition, with land values 50-150% above standard residential. Centre Zone sites near Stanley Street can accommodate 15-30+ storey buildings.

Key Zoning: Centre Zone, High Density Residential, Medium Density Residential

Growth Drivers

  • Cross River Rail station opening
  • 2032 Olympics Gabba redevelopment
  • Priority Development Area rezoning
  • Inner-city population growth and housing demand
  • Proximity to Mater Hospital and university campuses
