Building and renovating across Brisbane South.
Brisbane's south is a long-established renovation belt, a mix of character Queenslanders, post-war brick homes and hillside blocks rolling up toward Mount Gravatt. It is ideal for structural renovations, rear extensions and second-storey additions, with creek flood overlays around Norman and Bulimba Creeks and some hilly access to design around as you climb.

- Character Queenslanders lifted, restored and reconfigured for open-plan living

Council & approval notes
This region falls under Brisbane City Council. Planning considerations include character overlay protections in older pockets, creek flood overlays along Norman Creek and Bulimba Creek, slope and retaining controls on the Mount Gravatt hillside, and standard setback and height codes across the southern suburbs.
Climate considerations
Brisbane's south runs hotter and more sheltered than the bayside, with valley humidity and exposed western faces on the hills. We specify high-performance insulation, shaded glazing, cross-ventilation and sensible slab and drainage design so hillside homes stay comfortable and dry.

Frequently asked questions: Brisbane South.
Which council handles building approvals across Brisbane's south?
Brisbane City Council. We work within their character overlays, creek flood mapping (Norman and Bulimba Creeks) and Mount Gravatt slope controls.
Can you build on the hillside blocks around Mount Gravatt?
Yes, hillside blocks need engineered slabs, retaining walls and careful stormwater design, which we cost and coordinate with the certifier before construction.
Are rear extensions feasible on character homes in Annerley or Greenslopes?
Rear extensions are very common here and a good fit for our carpentry-led approach. We preserve the character facade at the street while opening the home up behind.
We also build across neighbouring regions.
