What is different about building here

A location page that is the service page with a suburb name pasted into it tells you nothing. These are the things that actually change from one part of Brisbane to another.

  • Two councils, one process

    The northside spans Brisbane City Council and Moreton Bay Regional Council, and the line between them runs roughly along the Pine River. The three things that decide approval are the same either side of it; what changes is where the application goes and what it costs. We lodge with both.

  • Coastal exposure at the bay end

    Redcliffe, Sandgate, Brighton and Bribie are close enough to salt air that the steel specification and the fixings matter as much as the frame. It is a quoting decision, not an approval one, and it is not something a flat-pack lets you choose.

  • Post-war stock inland

    Chermside, Everton Park and Stafford are full of post-war homes on stumps with driveways that fall away from the house. That fall is the single most common reason a kit does not fit a northside block.

Not on the list? Call and ask — the boundary is not as neat as a list of names suggests.

Your council, and what it wants

More than one council covers this area: Brisbane City Council, Moreton Bay Regional Council. The three things that decide approval are the same across all of South East Queensland — mean height, boundary setback, and any overlay sitting over your property.

You can build to within 500mm of a boundary with your neighbour's written agreement, and approval usually runs 2–6 weeks.

We prepare the drawings, lodge the application and deal with the council, whichever one it is.

With your neighbour's written agreement, the setback can come down to 500mm.
