combines subdivision with a dual-occupancy development. Several were still in progress when the Development.i records were downloaded, including 35 Brae Street, 1 Ferguson Road and 90 Newman Road. From Sale to Subdivision in Two Months The property at 35 Brae Street provides a particularly clear example of the change. The 810sqm property had reportedly been held by the same owners for more than 30 years before being sold to a developer on 20 May 2026. According to Place Ascot agent Nick Moloney, who handled the sale, 80 per cent of interest in the property came from builders and developers, although it also attracted family buyers looking to build a new home. Just over two months later, on 24 July, a development application was lodged with Brisbane City Council to subdivide the property. That application was still in progress when the Development.i records were downloaded. The sequence — a long-held large block changing hands and then moving towards subdivision — is a snapshot of the broader transition occurring across Wavell Heights. A Trend, Not a Boom Subdivision activity is significant, but it is not at a record high. There were 10 subdivision applications in the preceding 12 months, compared with seven in the latest period. Earlier annual totals were three in 2020–21, six in 2021–22, five in 2022–23 and five in 2023–24. .wh-subdivision-table{ --wh-navy:#0b2540; --wh-teal:#0f8f8f; --wh-sand:#f6f3ec; --wh-text:#1f2d3d; --wh-muted:#5c6b7a; --wh-line:#dfe5ea; width:100%; margin:32px 0; font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color:var(--wh-text); } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-table-wrap{ width:100%; border:1px solid var(--wh-line); background:#ffffff; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-table-title{ margin:0; padding:18px 20px; background:var(--wh-navy); color:#ffffff; font-size:24px; line-height:1.25; font-weight:700; } .wh-subdivision-table table{ width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; table-layout:fixed; margin:0; } .wh-subdivision-table th, .wh-subdivision-table td{ padding:15px 20px; border-bottom:1px solid var(--wh-line); vertical-align:middle; } .wh-subdivision-table th{ background:var(--wh-sand); color:var(--wh-navy); font-size:14px; line-height:1.3; font-weight:700; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:.35px; text-align:left; } .wh-subdivision-table td{ font-size:17px; line-height:1.4; } .wh-subdivision-table th:last-child, .wh-subdivision-table td:last-child{ width:34%; text-align:center; border-left:1px solid var(--wh-line); } .wh-subdivision-table tbody tr:last-child td{ border-bottom:0; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-current td{ background:#f8fbfb; font-weight:700; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-current td:last-child{ color:var(--wh-teal); font-size:19px; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-peak td{ font-weight:700; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-source{ margin:0; padding:13px 20px; border-top:1px solid var(--wh-line); background:#fafafa; color:var(--wh-muted); font-size:13px; line-height:1.45; } @media (max-width:600px){ .wh-subdivision-table{ margin:26px 0; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-table-title{ padding:16px; font-size:21px; } .wh-subdivision-table th, .wh-subdivision-table td{ padding:13px 14px; } .wh-subdivision-table th{ font-size:12px; letter-spacing:.2px; } .wh-subdivision-table td{ font-size:16px; } .wh-subdivision-table th:first-child, .wh-subdivision-table td:first-child{ width:64%; } .wh-subdivision-table th:last-child, .wh-subdivision-table td:last-child{ width:36%; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-source{ padding:12px 14px; font-size:12px; } } @media (max-width:380px){ .wh-subdivision-table .wh-table-title{ font-size:19px; } .wh-subdivision-table th, .wh-subdivision-table td{ padding:12px 10px; } .wh-subdivision-table th{ font-size:11px; } .wh-subdivision-table td{ font-size:15px; } } Wavell Heights Subdivision Applications 12-Month Period Applications 2020–21 3 2021–22 6 2022–23 5 2023–24 5 2024–25 10 2025–26 7 Source: Brisbane City Council Development.i. Each period runs from 11 August to 10 August. The picture is less a sudden boom than a pattern of redevelopment that has become more visible over the past two years. Why the Big Blocks Matter Wavell Heights still has many of the generous residential lots that once defined Brisbane’s middle-ring suburbs. A previous Wavell Heights News analysis of 224 house sales with available land-size data found a median block size of 607 square metres, with 100 sales on blocks between 600 and 700 square metres. Not every large block can be subdivided, but sites of that size can offer options that are harder to find in newer suburbs built around smaller lots. The interest in 35 Brae Street illustrates the point: one block attracted both families wanting the land for themselves and developers looking at what could be created from it. Big Blocks, Big Prices Recent sales show the value attached to that land. Seven of the 10 highest publicly disclosed house sales in Wavell Heights during the three months to 11 August were on blocks larger than 600sqm. The top three were 1 Luke Street at $3.45 million on 622sqm, 27 Abbey Street at $3.3 million on 635sqm, and 19 Vaucluse Street at $3.2 million on 617sqm. Smaller sites are also attracting strong prices. A home at 30 Roderick Street sold for $2.605 million on 428sqm, while 5 Kotara Street fetched $2 million on 324sqm. That contrast helps explain the redevelopment equation: large blocks remain valuable, while newer housing on smaller lots can also command a premium. .wh-top-sales{ --wh-navy:#0b2540; --wh-sand:#f6f3ec;

One Property at a Time Wavell Heights is not being transformed by towers or a master-planned precinct. Its change is quieter: one subdivision, rebuild or extension at a time. The suburb’s larger blocks and older housing stock remain part of its identity, but properties such as 35 Brae Street show how quickly a long-held block can become part of the next generation of housing. From a distance, Wavell Heights may still look much as it always has. At street level, though, the transformation is already underway.

Several were still in progress when the Development.i records were downloaded, including 35 Brae Street, 1 Ferguson Road and 90 Newman Road. From Sale to Subdivision in Two Months The property at 35 Brae Street provides a particularly clear example of the change. The 810sqm property had reportedly been held by the same owners for more than 30 years before being sold to a developer on 20 May 2026. According to Place Ascot agent Nick Moloney, who handled the sale, 80 per cent of interest in the property came from builders and developers, although it also attracted family buyers looking to build a new home. Just over two months later, on 24 July, a development application was lodged with Brisbane City Council to subdivide the property. That application was still in progress when the Development.i records were downloaded. The sequence — a long-held large block changing hands and then moving towards subdivision — is a snapshot of the broader transition occurring across Wavell Heights. A Trend, Not a Boom Subdivision activity is significant, but it is not at a record high. There were 10 subdivision applications in the preceding 12 months, compared with seven in the latest period. Earlier annual totals were three in 2020–21, six in 2021–22, five in 2022–23 and five in 2023–24. .wh-subdivision-table{ --wh-navy:#0b2540; --wh-teal:#0f8f8f; --wh-sand:#f6f3ec; --wh-text:#1f2d3d; --wh-muted:#5c6b7a; --wh-line:#dfe5ea; width:100%; margin:32px 0; font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color:var(--wh-text); } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-table-wrap{ width:100%; border:1px solid var(--wh-line); background:#ffffff; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-table-title{ margin:0; padding:18px 20px; background:var(--wh-navy); color:#ffffff; font-size:24px; line-height:1.25; font-weight:700; } .wh-subdivision-table table{ width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; table-layout:fixed; margin:0; } .wh-subdivision-table th, .wh-subdivision-table td{ padding:15px 20px; border-bottom:1px solid var(--wh-line); vertical-align:middle; } .wh-subdivision-table th{ background:var(--wh-sand); color:var(--wh-navy); font-size:14px; line-height:1.3; font-weight:700; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:.35px; text-align:left; } .wh-subdivision-table td{ font-size:17px; line-height:1.4; } .wh-subdivision-table th:last-child, .wh-subdivision-table td:last-child{ width:34%; text-align:center; border-left:1px solid var(--wh-line); } .wh-subdivision-table tbody tr:last-child td{ border-bottom:0; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-current td{ background:#f8fbfb; font-weight:700; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-current td:last-child{ color:var(--wh-teal); font-size:19px; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-peak td{ font-weight:700; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-source{ margin:0; padding:13px 20px; border-top:1px solid var(--wh-line); background:#fafafa; color:var(--wh-muted); font-size:13px; line-height:1.45; } @media (max-width:600px){ .wh-subdivision-table{ margin:26px 0; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-table-title{ padding:16px; font-size:21px; } .wh-subdivision-table th, .wh-subdivision-table td{ padding:13px 14px; } .wh-subdivision-table th{ font-size:12px; letter-spacing:.2px; } .wh-subdivision-table td{ font-size:16px; } .wh-subdivision-table th:first-child, .wh-subdivision-table td:first-child{ width:64%; } .wh-subdivision-table th:last-child, .wh-subdivision-table td:last-child{ width:36%; } .wh-subdivision-table .wh-source{ padding:12px 14px; font-size:12px; } } @media (max-width:380px){ .wh-subdivision-table .wh-table-title{ font-size:19px; } .wh-subdivision-table th, .wh-subdivision-table td{ padding:12px 10px; } .wh-subdivision-table th{ font-size:11px; } .wh-subdivision-table td{ font-size:15px; } } Wavell Heights Subdivision Applications 12-Month Period Applications 2020–21 3 2021–22 6 2022–23 5 2023–24 5 2024–25 10 2025–26 7 Source: Brisbane City Council Development.i. Each period runs from 11 August to 10 August. The picture is less a sudden boom than a pattern of redevelopment that has become more visible over the past two years. Why the Big Blocks Matter Wavell Heights still has many of the generous residential lots that once defined Brisbane’s middle-ring suburbs. A previous Wavell Heights News analysis of 224 house sales with available land-size data found a median block size of 607 square metres, with 100 sales on blocks between 600 and 700 square metres. Not every large block can be subdivided, but sites of that size can offer options that are harder to find in newer suburbs built around smaller lots. The interest in 35 Brae Street illustrates the point: one block attracted both families wanting the land for themselves and developers looking at what could be created from it. Big Blocks, Big Prices Recent sales show the value attached to that land. Seven of the 10 highest publicly disclosed house sales in Wavell Heights during the three months to 11 August were on blocks larger than 600sqm. The top three were 1 Luke Street at $3.45 million on 622sqm, 27 Abbey Street at $3.3 million on 635sqm, and 19 Vaucluse Street at $3.2 million on 617sqm. Smaller sites are also attracting strong prices. A home at 30 Roderick Street sold for $2.605 million on 428sqm, while 5 Kotara Street fetched $2 million on 324sqm. That contrast helps explain the redevelopment equation: large blocks remain valuable, while newer housing on smaller lots can also command a premium. .wh-top-sales{ --wh-navy:#0b2540; --wh-sand:#f6f3ec;
