A buyer’s market With lending still tight and confidence relatively low, competition for quality homes is comparatively thin on the ground, particularly in the entry level markets that are typically popular with investors. While prices are yet to hit bargain basement levels, it’s fair to say they have flattened out. This is good news for cashed-up investors and SMSFs looking for long-term capital gains. Leading the way is the Western Australian market, which has stabilised after a booming period of growth. Similarly, there has been a slight drop in Tasmanian real estate values after 10 years of strong returns. Indeed some markets in and around Hobart, such as Sandy Bay, South Hobart and West Hobart, recorded growth of more than 200% over the last decade. Property a long term investment While buyers, particularly first timers, might be taking a wait-and-see approach, rental markets around Australia are still relatively strong. As a result, vacancy rates are low and this is keeping rents steady, which is good news for investor cash flow.

  • Safer School Travel for Runcorn Discover the Urban Stories of Artist Robert Brownhall WHAT's ON
    Safer school travel for Runcorn Students at Runcorn Heights State Primary School have received a school travel safety boost after Council completed works as part of the Safe School Travel program. The school has a high percentage of students who walk, cycle, carpool and catch public transport to school. Council recently installed pedestrian safety islands at the school crossing on Nemies Road to improve safety for students and their parents and guardians.The final design of the improvement was decided after consultation with both the school and residents in the area and was delivered with the Queensland Government’s Department of Transport and Main Roads. Council’s Safe School Travel program has operated since 1991 to improve safety across Brisbane’s road network, including children’s daily commute to and from school. The Safe School Travel program delivers about 12 improvement projects each year. Robert Brownhall Story Bridge at Dusk (detail) 2010, City of Brisbane Collection, Museum of Brisbane.

The original surveyor was Robert Dixon, but he was replaced by Henry Wade in 1843• Wade proposed principal streets ihO links (92,4 ft.) in width, allotments of ^ acre to allow for air space and gardens, public squares, and reserves and roads along 2 the river banks. A visit to the proposed village by the New South Wales Colonial Governor, Sir George Gipps, had infelicitous results. To Gipps, "It was utterly absurd, to lay out a design for a great city in a place which in the very 3 nature of things could never be more than a village." 1 Robinson, R.H., For My Country, Brisbane: W, R.

The shelter is significant for the evidence it provides of Brisbane’s tramway system and for its contribution to the streetscape of Chatsworth Road. History This timber tram shelter is typical of those constructed by the Brisbane City Council on the city’s tram routes during the 1930s. Although it is situated on a tramline constructed in 1914, tram shelters were not generally built during this period, but appeared later as part of the Brisbane City Council’s efforts to improve the tramway system. Brisbane’s association with trams began in August 1885 with the horse tram, owned by the Metropolitan Tramway & Investment Co. In 1895, a contract was let to the Tramways Construction Co. Ltd. of London to electrify the system. The new electric tramway system officially opened on 21 June 1897 when a tram ran from Logan Road to the Victoria Bridge. Other lines opened in that year included the George Street, Red Hill and Paddington lines.

It was built in 1922 for jeweller and optometrist George Hooper, who opened a jewellery store that operated until around 1950. It is one of a row of buildings in Wickham Street that form a harmonious streetscape and demonstrate the renewal and growth that occurred in Fortitude Valley in the 1920s. History The Paddy Pallin building is a single storey commercial building designed by Brisbane architects, Chambers and Ford, for owner George Hooper, jeweller and optometrist, who purchased the 6 and 21/100 perch site in July 1922 after subdivision of a larger pre-existing block. This building and others in the block were constructed in the 1920s, replacing earlier buildings, some of which were timber and iron. The 1920s was a decade of economic growth throughout Brisbane. The Valley in particular, with its success as a commercial and industrial hub, expanded even further. Electric trams, which passed the busy corner of Brunswick and Wickham Streets, brought thousands of shoppers to the Valley.

  • The Death and Life of Great Australian Music: Planning for Live Music Venues in Australian Cities
    The Death and Life of Great Australian Music: planning for live music venues in Australian Cities The Death and Life of Great Australian Music: planning for live music venues in Australian Cities Dr Matthew Burke1 Amy Schmidt2 1Urban Research Program Griffith University 170 Kessels Road Nathan Qld 4111 Australia [email protected] 2Craven Ovenden Town Planning Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Word count: 4,854 words excluding abstract and references Running header: The Death and Life of Great Australian Music Key words: live music, noise, urban planning, entertainment precincts Abstract In recent decades outdated noise, planning and liquor laws, encroaching residential development, and the rise of more lucrative forms of entertainment for venue operators, such as poker machines, have acted singly or in combination to close many live music venues in Australia. A set of diverse and quite unique policy and planning initiatives have emerged across Australia’s cities responding to these threats. This paper provides the results of a systematic research effort conducted in 2008 into the success or otherwise of these approaches in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Archival and legislative reviews and field visits were supplemented by interviews with key authorities, venue operators, live music campaigners and others in each city. The research sought to categorise and evaluate the diverse approaches being used and to attempt to understand best ways forward to maintain opportunities for live music performance. In Brisbane a place-based approach designating ‘Entertainment Precincts’ has been used, re-writing separate pieces of legislation (across planning, noise and liquor law). Resulting in monopolies for the few venue operators within the precincts, outside the threats remain and venues continue to be lost.

  • Aboriginal Camps As Urban Foundations? Evidence from Southern Queensland Ray Kerkhove
    Aboriginal camps as urban foundations? Evidence from southern Queensland Ray Kerkhove Musgrave Park: Aboriginal Brisbane’s political heartland In 1982, Musgrave Park in South Brisbane took centre stage in Queensland’s ‘State of Emergency’ protests. Bob Weatherall, President of FAIRA (Foundation for Aboriginal and Islanders Research Action), together with Neville Bonner – Australia’s first Aboriginal Senator – proclaimed it ‘Aboriginal land’. Musgrave Park could hardly be more central to the issue of land rights. It lies in inner Brisbane – just across the river from the government agencies that were at the time trying to quash Aboriginal appeals for landownership, yet within the state’s cultural hub, the South Bank Precinct. It was a very contentious green space. Written and oral sources concur that the park had been an Aboriginal networking venue since the 1940s.1 OPAL (One People of Australia League) House – Queensland’s first Aboriginal-focused organisation – was established close to the park in 1961 specifically to service the large number of Aboriginal people already using it. Soon after, many key Brisbane Aboriginal services sprang up around the park’s peripheries. By 1971, the Black Panther party emerged with a dramatic march into central Brisbane.2 More recently, Musgrave Park served as Queensland’s ‘tent 1 Aird 2001; Romano 2008. 2 Lothian 2007: 21. 141 ABORIGINAL HISTORY VOL 42 2018 embassy’ and tent city for a series of protests (1988, 2012 and 2014).3 It attracts 20,000 people to its annual NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) Week, Australia’s largest-attended NAIDOC venue.4 This history makes Musgrave Park the unofficial political capital of Aboriginal Brisbane.

  • Inner-Urban Sustainability: a Case Study of the South Brisbane Peninsula
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Queensland University of Technology ePrints Archive INNER-URBAN SUSTAINABILITY: A CASE STUDY OF THE SOUTH BRISBANE PENINSULA 1 D.J. O’Hare Abstract The combination of elements and conditions in inner-urban areas may be argued to constitute established patterns of urban sustainability. This paper develops the argument through a case study of the South Brisbane peninsula, one of Queensland’s oldest and densest inner-urban areas. For the purposes of the paper, urban sustainability is defined in the context of urban design and development. This definition highlights the interrelationship between urban form and structure, and the social and economic life of the city. The paper argues that South Brisbane demonstrates significant characteristics of ‘triple bottom line’ environmental, social and economic sustainability in a subtropical inner-urban context. The main data source is a major study of Queensland’s cultural landscapes, supplemented by analysis and interpretation of current local government planning and community advocacy for sustainability. The area is strongly supportive of sustainability in terms of residential densities; mixed land uses; coherent urban structure, with strong local centres serviceable by public transport; mixed building types and ages; diversity in culture and socioeconomic status of the population; and social capital in the form of engaged and creative communities. The management of such diverse and dynamic inner-urban areas raises challenges for sustainable urban design and development practice. Keywords: West End, Brisbane, social capital, urban design, urban sustainability. 1. Introduction South Brisbane ‘peninsula’ is bounded by the Brisbane River immediately south of the Brisbane city centre.
