Proposed Towers Next To Stones Corner Roundabout Met With Opposition From Locals

A proposal to build four towers with over 600 private car parking slots right next to the Stones Corner Roundabout has been met with criticism from locals.

Based on planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council, the developers are seeking to establish these four towers which will be connected through a fully integrated ground plane plaza and will be built in two stages:

28-storey multiple dwelling tower on the corner of Logan Road and O’Keefe Street
26 storey purpose-built student accommodation tower, comprising three (3) podium levels and 23 tower level on the south-western portion of the site
Seven-storey residential care facility building at the northern part of the site
Seven-storey mixed-use commercial tower along Logan Road

The DA (A005806443) has received a number of submissions from locals, who are mostly concerned about the additional traffic it might bring to the area, which is already considered one of the worst traffic hotspots in Brisbane.

The subject site, which is one of the largest parcels of land in Inner Brisbane owned by a private entity, is in proximity to a busway, and other infrastructure, as well as Buranda State School.

In their submissions to Council, locals agreed that the developers should redesign and upgrade the Logan Road and O’Keefe Street roundabout, to allow for extra traffic that will come with population growth.

“It should be the developer’s duty to provide the infrastructure necessary for a new community to thrive. After all, ultimately, the better the development, the stronger its appeal and therefore, also, its selling power… The Council should not accept flawed, inferior proposals,” said one local in a submission to Council.

Meanwhile, Greens MP for South Brisbane Amy McMahon is asking Council not to approve the development, unless the developers agree to pay to fix the roundabout and push for the development to be in line with Transport Oriented Development principles.

Ms McMahon said the developer doesn’t think they should have to pay to upgrade this intersection, despite the massive profits they’ll earn from this development.

Ms McMahon is also encouraging the community to take part and send a petition to Council to push the developer to pay to fix the roundabout, invest properly in active transport amenities, reduce the number of private car parks, and include public housing and community facilities.

This Woolloongabba Redevelopment Will Add a New Hyatt Place With Striking Rooftop ‘Nest’

Developer Pellicano has unveiled its plans for a new Hyatt Place with a striking rooftop nest at the ongoing $700-million South City Square redevelopment in Woolloongabba.

The tower, to stand on Deshon St, will be 18-storey building with an ultra-modern design featuring a unique rooftop as its crowning glory. Woods Bagot, the designer, incorporated an overhanging pergola that appears like an inverted bird’s nest over the pool and bar deck.

“The proposal includes a truly unique feature when viewed from the skyline in the form of the tower crown. The crown offers an ovoid shape that is screened by a pergola structure. The pergola structure gives the crown the ‘nest’ like appearance that is unlike any rooftop within the wider South City Square precinct,” the planners stated in the development application (DA A00598880).

Hyatt Place will also include a full-floor spa with a wellness center, a gymnasium on two levels, a function space level, and nearly a dozen retail spaces.

Next to Hyatt Place, a new residential tower will also rise and will feature a retail podium and ground floor commercial tenancies, as well as a Reading Cinema with eight screens. The building is now under construction.

So far, the South City Square redevelopment, which will take seven stages, has completed three residential complexes. The final construction will entail a Secret Garden and a public space for families and kids.

“The Stage 7 works are designed to be an extension of the public realm works established within the previous stages. This integrated design approach ensures that there is a legibility within the public realm, that encourages movement throughout the precinct. The proposed design within this portion of works looks to create an informal garden with a layered and organic quality. The garden also provides more opportunities for self-directed play, for both adults and children, looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the precinct.”

Greenslopes Property Market Joins the Million-Dollar Club in 2021

The Greenslopes property market has broken into Queensland’s million-dollar club in 2021, following a banner year of record low-interest rates, low levels of stocks, and interstate migration.

Greenslopes House Price Growth

Data from Property Market Updates show the Greenslopes property market’s growth, with the median rising by 18.13 per cent for the period covering January to December 2021. The median house price has breached the one million mark at $1,010,000.

House values in this suburb have had a steady growth in the last decade with many properties selling slightly above their listed prices. For this period, 105 properties were sold within a quick turnaround of just 26 average days on market, especially for three-bedroom homes.

The demographic in Greenslopes comprises young families and professionals who can invest in a prime piece of real estate. The Greenslopes property market continues to attract strong demand because investors have plenty of opportunities for securing tenants given that over 50 per cent of the suburb’s population are renters.

Greenslopes Unit Price Growth

Units in Greenslopes, however, saw a modest increase compared to houses for January to December 2021 with an 8.97 per cent growth from last year. The increase has set the median unit price at $425,000, following last year’s low of $390,000.

There were 221 units sold for this period with an average listing of 49 days on market. Two-bedroom units had the highest demand, mostly from professionals employed at the hospitals. Even with the unit value’s increase, Greenslopes is still one of the most affordable suburbs for units within 10 kilometres of the CBD.

About Greenslopes

Reasonably located near the CBD, Greenslopes is an easy commute for many Brisbane locals for its proximity to the motorway. Whilst it is mostly residential, Greenslopes is known for Greenslopes Private Hospital, a leading teaching hospital and a major employer of the city.

This neighbourly suburb provides residents with all the conveniences with the Greenslopes Mall and the Stones Corner Village shopping centres nearby. The suburb is also a short distance from Woolloongabba and Coorparoo, which are filled with the trendiest dining places,

As for outdoor recreations and healthy activities, Greenslopes has green spaces like Hanlon Park, Ekibin Park, and the Greenslopes Bowls Club. The area also provides a mix of schools, including medical colleges.

Whilst there are still some stunning pre-war character homes in Greenslopes, there are plenty of unit blocks and modern apartment complexes in the suburb for professionals or couples.

“Greenslopes is great for families. We relocated from Victoria over 18 years ago and have never looked back. We had a great selection of schools, both private and public. All schools in the area offer quality education. There are many sporting clubs in and around the area. Close to the Gabba for AFL and Cricket. The public transport is great, especially great when you have teenage children. Even though we are very close to the city, traffic noise in our area is very minimal. To drive into the city during non peak hour take about 7 -10 minutes, a bit longer during peak time.”
Gail

“Greenslopes is pretty good by way of public transport in terms of volume of services, although buses are often late. It is conveniently located close to the city, has good grocery facilities, and an excellent network of bike paths. Getting out of the suburb can be problematic in peak times, due to the build-up of traffic on both the Pacific Motorway and the Riverside Express, but usually, it is hassle-free. There are some nice parks in the area and it feels pretty safe. Its dining scene won’t set the world on fire but it is improving. Greenslopes feels like a suburb on the cusp of renewal.”

Greenslopes Private Hospital Celebrates 80th Anniversary With $72-M Expansion

Photo Credit: Greenslopes Private Hospital / Google Maps

To mark Greenslopes Private Hospital’s 80th anniversary, Ramsay Health Care hospital has unveiled a $72-million expansion, boosting the medical facility’s ability to deliver the best possible health care treatments for the best patient outcomes.

The expansion which began construction in 2020 includes a three-story infill building that houses new rooms for day surgery procedures. There are also additional operating theatres and an expanded Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Meanwhile, the newly constructed two-storey building adds 64 private en-suite rooms across two levels whilst the existing emergency department that has been refurbished now contains an additional seven beds, offering patients more space and privacy.

Greenslopes Private Hospital CEO, Chris Went, said that with the expansion, the hospital now has “22 operating theatres, including a hybrid theatre equipped with medical imaging equipment which will allow the facility to perform both open and minimally invasive procedures.

“There is currently a high demand for inpatient beds, and with both the expansion of the emergency department and the additional operating theatres, the 64 new beds will allow us to service this increased capacity,” she said

Originally built as a military hospital, the facility currently employs about 2,500 staff and admits approximately 91,500 patients each year, contributing to almost $200 million in economic contributions annually.

“We began as a military hospital and still have strong ties to the military today. We have our wonderful Diggers Dozen, who since 1990 have dedicated so much time to volunteering to help our patients and our community,” Ms Went said.

“The Gallipoli Medical Research Foundation (GMRF) is also based at Greenslopes Private Hospital. Greenslopes Private provides in-kind support allowing them to invest every cent donated to them into supporting current and ex-serving Australia Defence Force personnel, their families and the Australian community through medical research.”

Greenslopes Private Hospital is also a world-renowned tertiary medical facility with an integrated clinical school, the Greenslopes University of Queensland Medical School.

“Greenslopes Private Hospital is Australia’s largest private teaching hospital and has been training the next generation of healthcare workers since 1970,” she said.

“While we don’t receive the same government grants as public hospitals to undertake this teaching, we feel it’s an important service we can offer our community and helps prepare us for generations to come.”

The expanded medical facility offers 694 in-patient beds, 32 speciality units, and a 24-hour Pharmacy and Emergency department.

Here Is Where You Can Find the Cheapest Fuel in Woolloongabba, Nearby Suburbs

With fuel prices soaring and expected to rise further, knowing which stations have lower petrol prices is useful. Here are where you can find the cheapest fuel prices in and near Woolloongabba, according to RACQ, as of press time.

Whilst the U.S. and European are yet to impose a ban on the importation of Russian oil, market jitters have resulted in a “de facto ban” that further contributed to supply disruptions. And industry experts see no relief in sight for Australians as the price of regular unleaded is expected to rise to 200 cents per litre.

But did you know that petrol prices rise and fall in regular patterns or cycles? According to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, prices typically go down steadily for a period followed by a sharp increase.

Price cycles, ACCC said, are the result of deliberate pricing policies implemented by petrol retailers and have no direct relationship to changes in wholesale costs. Hence, it makes perfect sense to always check and compare to find out which retailer offers the best fuel price, regardless of the status of world affairs.

As part of the Queensland fuel price reporting scheme, it is mandatory for fuel retailers across Queensland to report their fuel prices to help motorists find the cheapest fuel prices, compare fuel prices in the local area and save money at the bowser.

The following are the list of stations selling the cheapest fuel in and near Woollongabba. (Note that the data from RACQ is as of press time and may not be current. For more recent data, please check the RACQ Fair Fuel Finder page.)

Lady Marmalade in Stones Corner Now Under New Management

Photo Credit: Google Maps

Stone Corner’s beloved café and bar, Lady Marmalade, has been sold, just days after it was put on the market.

Two years into the pandemic, many businesses struggle to survive amidst COVID-related challenges – periods of lockdowns, border closures and changes in customer spending habits; and Lady Marmalade is no exception.

So, when Owners Sonja and Howard Searle decided to put the cafe and bar on the market almost seven years after they took over, they did not expect that they would receive an offer so fast.

They are nevertheless happy that the new owner, Racy79 Pty Ltd, will be taking over the business and Lady Marmalade’s existing employees get to keep their jobs. Once the changeover of management is complete, Sonja and Howard plan to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the hospitality business.

Regulars need not worry, however. Lady Marmalade’s capable staff will be there to ensure that it will still be business as usual.

“After nearly 7 years, the time has come for Howard and I to hand over the reins of Lady Marmalade to new owners,” Sonja said.

“The amazing Lady Marmalade Team will remain the same, the new owners are Industry Veterans who manage many high profile restaurants, cafes and a brewery in Queensland and across Australia. Some of their venues include Nonna’s Restaurant, Bluewater Grill Hope Island, House of Brews Surfer’s Paradise. Their wisdom and infrastructure will help to expand Lady Marmalade and they will be able to offer the team development opportunities.”

Established in 2010, Lady Marmalade Café has become a go-to venue for great-tasting food made in-house, coffee and craft beers and wines. It started out as a small cafe occupying a vintage, corner building space that has been home of The National Bank before it became a canaryhouse and bird hospital then a record store.

The cafe and licensed-bar underwent a major transformation and expanded over to the nextdoor shop when the Searle’s took ownership in 2015. The renovated shop now seats more than 60 customers at a time from the original eight-seating capacity with a fit-out that pays homage to its historic past including the original brick walls which have now been exposed as well as the vintage bird hospital signage.

Buranda Village Redevelopment in Woolloongabba Includes Massive Residential Project

The existing Buranda Village shopping centre in Woolloongabba may soon be transformed into a contemporary, mixed-use precinct that includes four residential towers.

Vicinity Centres, the owner of the 1970s-designed shopping centre, is seeking to build four build-to-rent, multiple-dwelling towers with a maximum height of 15 storeys.

This will include a total of 627 dwellings of one, two, and three-bedroom units. It will also feature retail, dining, and entertainment activities at ground level.

The main feature of the proposed development is the provision of a subtropical public plaza at ground level. This plaza will have a total of 8,283-sqm of landscaped publicly accessible outdoor open space.

If approved, the new Buranda Village, located at 264 Ipswich Road, Woolloongabba will consist of centre activities including a 3,400-sqm supermarket, cafes, restaurants, bars and shops.

“The proposed development will transform the site into a contemporary mixed-use precinct with a world-class design that is uniquely ‘Brisburban’ and based on best practice subtropical design principles,” Urbis stated in a report.

In addition to the residential dwellings, the applicant is also seeking to build three commercial towers to be used for centre activities, hotels and bars. The buildings will hold up to 50,000 sqm of commercial office space.

Meanwhile, the proposed development involves a total of 1,265 car parking spaces, 25 motorbike parking spaces and 710 bicycle spaces.

Based on the planning documents, the applicant has proposed to provide a sufficient number of on site car parking spaces ‘to meet the anticipated car parking demand associated with the proposed development.’

The existing heritage listed ventilation shaft, which was put up in 1913 by the South Brisbane Town Council as a component of its Ipswich Road stormwater catchment system, will be retained in its current location.

However, works will be undertaken around the existing heritage shaft to make it a feature of the proposed pedestrian entry into the precinct from the corner of Cornwall Street and Ipswich Road.

The centre, which first opened in 1978, was acquired by Vicinity Centres in 2000 and last redeveloped in 2005.

Check Out These Greenslopes Cafés Serving up Healthy Eats

Did you know that according to a study, Australians, regardless of age, generally have a poor diet? Check out these Greenslopes cafés that promote good eating habits by serving up healthy eats and beverages.

A healthy body starts with healthy eating and exercise. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s Poor Diet Report stated that 2017-18 data revealed that less than 1 in every 10 Australian adults met the recommended daily amount of vegetables and 1 in 2 adults did not eat the recommended serving of fruits.

Moreover, in 2011-12, the proportion of discretionary food intake among adults ranged from 33 to 36 per cent. Discretionary foods refer to foods that are not necessary to meet nutrient requirements and are generally unhealthy. Ideally, these foods should only be consumed occasionally and only in small amounts.

It’s good to know, though, that a good number of Greenslopes cafés offer a better and healthier alternative to traditional food. Here are some of the healthy eats you can score around town.

The Jam Pantry | Vegan & Vegetarian Menu

The Jam Pantry serves up hearty breakfast fare using seasonal ingredients. That means their flipping board menu serves you up with specially-designed meals based on fresh produce.

Those who prefer the seasonal classic menu need not feel left out because this charming little gem also offers classic favourites along with yummy preserves and sweet treats.

For a healthier yet filling meal, vegan/vegetarian options are also on offer. The menu includes Fried Crumble Mushrooms with mixed lettuce, tomato and onions on milk buns with truffle aioli; and Toasted Almonds with coconut flakes, pepitas, strawberries, passion fruit pulps and coconut yoghurt.

Drop by The Jam Pantry for a healthy meal and a serving of coffee supreme at 2/575 Logan Rd, Greenslopes. The cafe is open daily from 7 am to 2.30 pm.

Charlie’s Raw Squeeze | Plant-based Food, Drinks, and Treats

Among the Greenslopes cafés, Charlie’s Raw Squeeze guarantees you get dished out with 100 per cent plant-based meals, snacks, juices and smoothies paired with an organic coffee menu in eco-friendly packaging; truly, a haven for vegetarians and vegans alike.

Moreish Café | Kid-friendly, Healthy Menu

Moreish Café dishes up classic breakfasts made with healthy ingredients that you can share with your little ones. Think assorted seasonal fruits and honey granola served with coconut milk, coconut slice, and chia seed.

Moreish Café also has a menu made exclusively for kids. Choices include fried chicken waffle drizzled with maple syrup; and seasonal fruit waffle with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup. And of course, you can’t go wrong with crispy fried chicken (thigh fillet) served with hot chips with tomato or bbq sauce.

For a satisfying breakfast or brunch and a fresh brew by Campos head on out to Moreish Café located at 2/398 Logan Road, Greenslopes. The shop is open Monday to Saturday from 6.30 am to 2.30 pm and Sunday from 7 am to 2 pm.
