Officially recognised as a standalone suburb in 2017—previously part of Greenslopes—this neighbourhood offers a unique mix of urban convenience and suburban charm.

Hanlon Park, for example, has undergone a complete transformation, now featuring scenic walking and cycling paths alongside a natural waterway. Named one of Australia’s best parks, it’s a key drawcard for residents and visitors alike.

It’s also set to benefit from the broader infrastructure boom around Woolloongabba, driven by preparations for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. These developments are creating a vibrant community atmosphere while enhancing local amenities.

Stones Corner is also catching the eye of developers keen to cater to this growing demand. Gardner Vaughan Group is leading the way with Stonebrook, a nine-storey, owner-occupier-focused apartment building that directly connects to Hanlon Park.
