A welcoming attitude and accessibility are foundational for Coorparoo bar Beyond The Pale
Learn how good access was part of the bar’s design and is a core value for staff
Accessibility and awareness are parts of the physical and cultural foundation for Beyond The Pale bar in Coorparoo
The team at the popular bar are aware that a welcoming attitude and good access leads to a brew-ti-ful time for all
The bar’s initial design planning and day-to-day staff training reflect this
Owner Aidan McGarrity said it's important to understand access and have a welcoming spirit for everyone
These are the keys to creating an open venue
“Small differences for us makes a big difference for our guests – that’s what we always tell our staff,” Mr McGarrity said
“We are all about people and that means making our guests feel at ease by taking care of the small things
such as adjusting a chair or ensuring they are seated in the area with easiest access.”
Accessibility and awareness are parts of the physical and cultural foundation for Beyond The Pale bar in Coorparoo
Good access was an important part of the initial design phase
The owners and designer worked together close to ensure low-seat dining and wider traffic areas
“We keep walkways as clean and clear as possible
ensuring lots of circulation room and easy access for those who might be in a wheelchair or need assistance getting around,” Aidan said
“We are close to a couple of restricted vision organisations and we have a lot of patrons with restricted vision and their carer dogs
so we always make sure they have appropriate space and that they are comfortable – the feedback from the community has been great.”

About 70 buyers are competing for every home on the market in Brisbane’s most popular suburbs
with new data revealing the top addresses for both budget-conscious house hunters and big spenders
The relatively affordable hotspot of Coorparoo topped PropTrack’s list of the city’s ten most sought-after suburbs
based on property searches on realestate.com.au
Coorparoo’s median dwelling price of $755,000 sits just under the combined median of $770,000 for houses and units across Greater Brisbane
showing affordability was a key consideration for buyers after several years of blistering price growth
PropTrack data shows 2684 buyers were “seriously interested” in 37 houses for sale last month in Coorparoo
with another 1588 buyers vying for 43 units on the market
Located 5.5km from the CBD and described by local agents as a “lifestyle location”
Next ranked by search volume was trendy New Farm
top pick for deep-pocketed buyers with a median price of $1,027,500
Figures showed an almost even split of suburbs priced above and below the city’s typical buy-in
Rounding out Brisbane’s most in-demand list were Ashgrove
PropTrack economist and Home Value Index report author Paul Ryan
PropTrack director of economic research Paul Ryan Queensland suburbs had remained popular for their lifestyle appeal since the pandemic
spurring gentrification and improved amenities drawing a broad demographic
But with Brisbane prices edging closer to Sydney levels after surpassing Melbourne in 2024
families seeking to be close to the CBD were increasingly opting for units
or extending their search to the outlying areas of Ipswich and Logan
we had a relatively stable economy and job market,” Mr Ryan said
2025 might be even better for homeowners with expectations of lower mortgage costs and slower rental growth
It is shaping up to be quite positive for anyone wanting to buy.”
He said search volume was a useful market indicator
showing “where serious buyers are looking and which regions could outperform”
Buyers agent Lauren Jones has tips for those wanting to get into the most popular suburbs
Buyers’ agent Lauren Jones said those wishing to get into the most popular suburbs should be prepared to either bid at auction
or present a strong offer with attractive conditions
“Given the price of property in most of these inner-Brisbane locations
most of the buyers will be fairly sophisticated,” Ms Jones said
“They are probably buying with a large chunk of cash
meaning they don’t need a finance clause and can bid at auction
Ms Jones said buyers looking at older homes in those areas should also budget on spending $5-10,000 on upfront maintenance costs
while she advised unit buyers to seek a body corporate record search to uncover any potential issues with the complex
said Coorparoo and surrounding areas offered a family-oriented
stress-free lifestyle with convenient access to shopping
“Coorparoo is a bit more affordable for a beautiful family home on a good-sized block than suburbs like Bulimba and Hawthorne,” Ms Gianniotis said
“I’ve been there for 23 years and raised a family
and it is a nice place to be with a lot of parkland and the added benefit of being quite an elevated suburb that doesn’t have a flood risk.”

The four city suburbs homeowners just won’t leave
coastal living remained a magnet for buyers
with eight of regional Queensland’s top 10 most searched suburbs located on the Gold Coast
West End in Townsville was a surprise inclusion
while Buderim on the Sunshine Coast ranked tenth
The Gold Coast’s hipster haven of Burleigh Heads led the pack
where 3037 buyers were interested in 46 houses for sale in the past month and 2376 buyers competed for 87 units
Other Glitter Strip hotspots included Palm Beach
Gold Coast buyers’ agent Matt Srama said he was “not surprised” buyers were hot for these locations
noting younger interstate buyers were continuing to leverage remote working to embrace the beachside lifestyle
Gold Coast buyer’s agent Matt Srama says demand for homes on the Glitter Strip is pushing to outlying suburbs
people are really prioritising lifestyle and the Gold Coast is no longer just a tourist stop,” Mr Srama said
“People are buying property here to put down roots
they are starting businesses or seeking out flexible employment which works around where they want to live and spend time with the families.”
Mr Srama said strong demand along the best-known beachside strip had pushed more buyers into surrounding areas
“Buyers are seeking value in these bridesmaid suburbs
for example buyers wanting to be in Mermaid Beach are pushing out to Mermaid Waters
Biggera Waters and the northern suburbs are soaking up the overflow around Southport.”

While the vast majority of Australian buyers aren’t international swimming champions, the need for proximity to local amenities is something many can relate to.
The Coorparoo Queenslander-style home she settled in – which is now for sale – offers privacy and peace without sacrificing convenience. Located a 20-minute drive from the Brisbane CBD, the house is the epitome of relaxed and elegant living.
The covered front and back verandahs are set among trees, with city glimpses. And, in the safety of this quiet cul-de-sac, kids can run and play with reckless abandon.
“I grew up on a road that was a cul-de-sac, so it reminded me of that.” Campbell says, when asked what first drew her to the home.
Coorparoo has become a sought-after location in recent years for its connection to nearby parklands, public transport, shopping, dining and schools.
Listing agent Paula Pearce of Place Estate Agents Brisbane says prestigious schools have attracted more families to the area. In addition, an increasing number of buyers are prioritising lifestyle, moving away from larger cities in other parts of the country.
“Buyers are looking for walkability and connectedness to infrastructure,” she says. “Schools in the area, secondary schools in particular, have continued to grow in popularity, so we’re seeing more young families looking to buy here.”

InStyle Australia editor-in-chief, Justine Cullen, lists Palm Beach property for sale
With its white picket fences, VJ dado panelling and French doors, the home is move-in ready. The calming, neutral colour palette throughout is a blank slate for a range of design preferences.
“It’s a Queenslander replica,” Pearce says. “This means you get the charm and style of a Queenslander without the added maintenance.”
The house has a bright and airy feel, with a spacious layout and a kitchen and dining area extending onto a patio and large garden – perfect for hosting guests.
Campbell says she has loved entertaining on the outdoor deck, having dinner parties with friends and fellow athletes.
“I remember inviting mates around [after settlement], sitting on milk crates and celebrating with drinks,” she says. “At that stage, you’ve got no furniture but that’s part of the experience.”
The property has a generous four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Even living with three friends at one point, Campbell says that “somehow it never felt crowded”.
“I had a friend who worked in finance living downstairs for a while,” she says. “It’s a separate and self-contained living space, which worked well since we were on completely different schedules. They sometimes worked late into the evening, then I’d be getting up at 4am for training.”
It’s this versatility that makes the property a stand-out option in the market. If an owner-occupier moves in, the downstairs area — with kitchenette and bathroom — could offer independent living for a teenager, a young adult, elderly family members, or even a tenant. For investors, there’s the opportunity for a source of rental income.
The listing has a notable inclusion for those with an interest in sports: a signed team shirt from the Paris 2020 Olympics that Campbell plans to leave behind, as well as ample outdoor space for wellness activities.
“We added artificial grass in the back garden and it became my favourite place to do stretching and yoga,” she says. “It was much better doing recovery on grass, not hard bricks.”
Change is in the air for the swimmer, who is moving to Sydney. Earlier this year she got engaged to her partner, musician Benfield Lainchbury, and her business, Earthletica, has taken off.
“It’s bittersweet to be leaving my footholds in Brisbane, but it’s always a base to come back to with friends and family still here,” Campbell says.
“I’ll always be a Queenslander because that’s where I grew up.”

“There’s a lot of great things to look forward to in the future
and hopefully I can contribute to that as well.”

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says there is a bipartisan position for the US to remove its 25 per cent tariff on Australia’s steel aluminium exports
saying it would “damage the relationship between the US and Australia”
“The tariff issue is an incredibly important issue for our country

“I want there to be a very clear message to the Trump administration: that we believe if this tariff should be put in place and if it remains in place I believe it would damage the relationship between the United States and Australia.”
Asked if Dutton believed the phone call was a success for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese
the opposition leader lashed the government for anti-Trump comments made in years gone by
“I think the state of fact is the prime minister has made the relationship more difficult through his previous comments
The comments of [Foreign Minister] Penny Wong and Ambassador [Kevin] Rudd
the president will have noticed those comments,” he said
Wong was one of only a handful of foreign dignitaries in the room at Trump’s inauguration in January

It\\u2019s important for the US administration to hear there is a bipartisan position in relation to the prime minister\\u2019s call to remove the tariff,\\u201D he said
\\u201CI want there to be a very clear message to the Trump administration: that we believe if this tariff should be put in place and if it remains in place I believe it would damage the relationship between the United States and Australia.\\u201D
\\u201CI think the state of fact is the prime minister has made the relationship more difficult through his previous comments
the president will have noticed those comments,\\u201D he said
Wong was one of only a handful of foreign dignitaries in the room at Trump\\u2019s inauguration in January
US President Donald Trump has said he will consider Australia\\u2019s request to be exempted from his new 25 per cent tariff on steel and aluminium
while also declaring that the tariffs would be \\u201Cwithout exemptions or exceptions ..
no matter where [the steel] comes from\\u201D
Protecting our steel and aluminium industries is a must and today I\\u2019m simplifying our tariffs on steel and aluminium so everyone can understand exactly what it means
It\\u2019s 25 per cent without exemptions or exceptions
So if it\\u2019s made in the United States
We don\\u2019t need it from another country.\\u201D
“We truly couldn’t ask for a better mix of people,” co-owner and chef Leaham Claydon tells Broadsheet
“Everyone is showing up: the locals – some pushing 80 or 90 years old – the younger Asian crowd coming out from Sunnybank
We’ve had people tell us they drove an hour-and-a-half to get here.”
“There was a lady who came all the way from Adelaide to try one of our dishes,” adds co-owner Jianne Jeoung
“But it wasn’t on the menu that day – she was apparently very upset.”

With all those fans and only so many seats
it makes sense to extend Snug’s opening hours
Rather than add a couple more hours in the afternoon
turning up the tunes and running Snug as a wine bar in the evenings from Friday to Sunday
The nocturnal identity was always part of the plan
“We wanted to do the wine bar first,” says Jeoung
But the slow liquor licensing process meant it was easier to open as a cafe while finding their feet
That extra lead time gave the couple an opportunity to refine their idea to suit the small kitchen space
Snug the bar has a whole new after-dark menu
there’s obviously a lot of raw seafood involved,” says Jeoung
“And I think it works out really well in Queensland weather as well.”
this time with an almost-too-big dollop of garlic butter on the side
glistening honey bread is now an evening-only dish.)
The sole dessert is a summer palate cleanser of diced mango and milk pudding topped with misugaru
Claydon and Jeoung plan to switch things up regularly
“We get bored of things really quickly,” says Claydon
‘I can’t keep up with all the new stuff you guys have,’ and I was like
There’s a one-page drinks list focused on Australian and French wines by the glass, along with Aussie craft beers, a classic Korean lager and a couple of canned spritzes from Adelaide’s Delinquente Wine Co (best known for its Bizzarro Bitter Aperitivo)
The plan is to add cocktails once they have more fridge space
Snug’s daytime success and after-dark alter ego prove it’s the kind of venue Brisbane needs more of: a small space filled with big ideas
run by young operators who've chosen to take risks in the suburbs rather than jam another cafe-bar into the CBD or West End
They’re also currently setting up an old garage beneath the Pilates studio next door as an event space
and toying with expanding the evening opening hours
we’d love to do … an approachable offering on Mondays

Bob Chambers outside his church which he purchased in Nanango during the construction process
An ambitious dream to renovate a church was always on the cards for keen home-flipping couple Bob and Robyn Chambers – but it wasn’t to be
prompting Bob to use his grief to create a legacy for her
purchasing a 1912 ex-Salvation Army church from Nanango in regional Queensland and undertaking a breathtaking renovation from a place of worship to one of Brisbane’s most luxurious homes
The grandeur open-plan living space will wow buyers with its soaring eight metre high ceilings enhanced by exposed beams
The spacious bedroom’s in the home leave plenty of space for the whole family
Mr Chambers used his experience as a builder and role as director of GM Poles Pty Ltd to create a team fit for the challenge of building the home
“I did this (as a tribute) for her – I undertook the project with my middle daughter and a mate of mine Peter McArdle from PTMA Architects,” he said
“When we were moving the home down to Brisbane
it had to be driven 200km down to Brisbane in two pieces; the church itself and the roof
“We also did a complete restoration of the steel beams of the church.”
The home pays tribute to its history through retaining much of the original features including the church glass windows
temperature-controlled Tasmanian-inspired wine cellar
a waterfall inside the kitchen/living area
heated indoor pool and a rock water feature
The project took four years to complete and was featured in Channel 7’s renovation series ‘My Impossible House’
The temperature controlled Tasmanian-inspired wine cellar
Take a look inside one the home’s spacious bathrooms
“It was a long stretch to get everything done; as we continued on with the project
“You’ve got the open arbour at the front with all of the lights – everything in the property is automated…the natural creek is a very impressive thing…it looks like a natural creek bed you can turn on straight from your phone
A lot of thought was put into the property by Mr Chambers
his daughter and the architect to ensure the original integrity of the church was retained in the final product
The kitchen includes a spacious breakfast bar
There is even a view down to the Tasmanian-inspired wine cellar from the butlers pantry
“It was always going to be something we sold after we completed the project
Mr Chambers already has plans for an extensive renovation project transforming a block of flats in Norman Park but plans to name the home after his late wife
QLD REAL ESTATE: The indoor heated pool allowing for year round swimming
QLD REAL ESTATE: View of the home from the rear – 79 Buena Vista
Duke Realty Bulimba sales director Sam Patterson has described the architectural marvel as one of the best homes he has ever put on the market
“It is amazing the quality of the construction; it is one of best homes I’ve ever been in,” Mr Patterson said
“The floorplan allows for dual living; many buyers coming through the property are families with older kids.”
The home has two separate wings to the central part of the house
One lucky buyer will also take advantage of the proximity to schools such as Our Lady of Mount Carmel
The property is currently accepting offers from buyers by negotiation
Photos have emerged of a nine-month-old baby moments before and after a stranger poured boiling coffee over him
causing burns to 60 per cent of his body and leaving his mother traumatised
The young bub was at a picnic with his mum and friends at Hanlon Park in Coorparoo in Brisbane when an unknown man approached the group at about midday on Tuesday
He poured a thermos of coffee over the baby before fleeing the scene
A photo taken shortly before the incident shows the baby sitting on a rug happily playing with a toy truck
Heartbreaking footage has also emerged of the baby in hospital afterwards
The baby's mother became emotional as she relived the harrowing ordeal
'It's torture and I'm supposed to be his protector and I couldn't protect him,' she told Nine News
'I'm just having flashbacks all the time about what happened and I wish that he had poured the coffee over me
'I don't know who would think it is okay to harm a little
Family friend Zara Mazza was sitting alongside the baby and his mother when the stranger attacked
Ms Mazza fought back tears on The Project on Wednesday night as she recalled how she attempted to chase down the assailant but tripped
'As I ran back I picked up my water bottle and dumped it over him..
we laid him down on the picnic rug and we peeled his clothes away
which revealed the peeling of his skin - his skin had started to blister,' she said
'Some really lovely onlookers came over and filled up water bottles and kept pouring it over him.'
Ms Mazza added that the boy's mother is struggling as a result of the ordeal
and they say that he'll need regular dressing changes under anaesthetic over the next few weeks.'
An off-duty nurse reportedly heard screams from her nearby residence and ran to the park to help the boy
She told 7News his mother was yelling 'my baby
The nurse took the boy back to her apartment and kept him under a cold shower until paramedics arrived
The baby was then rushed to the Queensland Children's Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery
The nine-month-old suffered serious but non-life-threatening burns to 60 per cent of his body
Ms Mazza has set up a GoFundMe fundraiser to raise money for the baby's medical expenses
He does not deserve this pain and suffering,' she wrote
'[He] is currently in hospital and is [expected] to stay for a while
'He has a long recovery ahead of him which will include further doctors'
'[I] would love to raise some money towards any medical or household costs to help ease the pressure off of my friend and her family while they take the time to be home and help their beautiful boy heal.'
Footage released by police on Wednesday showed the alleged attacker running from the park
He's described as aged 30-40 with a proportionate build
Detective Inspector Paul Dalton on Wednesday said the baby was in a stable condition
He described the attack as 'callous and cowardly' as well as 'completely unprovoked'
going through a park on a beautiful winter's day in Brisbane
to be approached like this and attacked in this way must be terrifying,' Dalton said
I've never come across a job where a child this young
'Everyone has a right to feel safe in our community
'This sort of behaviour will not be tolerated and we've thrown all our resources that we can possibly (spare) to it at this stage to hold this person accountable.'
Inspector Dalton also reassured Brisbane parents his officers are 'working around the clock' to find the perpetrator
Anyone who recognises the man pictured fleeing the scene, or who has any information that can assist investigations, is urged to contact Policelink on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers.

Brisbane residents are still waiting for work to begin to remove two level crossings that were first identified as congestion and traffic safety hazards in 2012
Community crossing “cutting crews” have been established in Coorparoo and Coopers Plains by local residents who are campaigning for politicians to honour previous promises
A local community group – the Coorparoo Crossing Crew – is calling for action to remove a level crossing after years of empty political promises
Queensland’s Department of Main Roads this week said planning to replace Coorparoo’s Cavendish Road level crossing was underway and construction on the Coopers Plains fix was due to start in late 2025
A flyer distributed by the Coorparoo Cutting Crew criticising the slow pace of removing the level crossing at Coorparoo
In Coorparoo, one Nelson Street resident – a member of the “Coorparoo Cutting Crew” – sought to remind politicians of all parties their crossing was first identified as a threat in 2012 by Deloittes Economics.
“If this level crossing is still there in 2032
when the Olympics is being held – and people having to wait for up to 40 minutes when it breaks down – it will be a bit of embarrassment to the city of Brisbane,” said the resident
you see school kids running across all the time
and it is only a matter of time before there is a severe incident.”
Federal Labor promised $107 million to remove the crossing in 2019, but remained in opposition and again promised $100 million in the lead-up to the May 2022 federal election.
Coorparoo is in Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather’s Griffith electorate
while Coopers Plains is in Labor MP Graham Perrett’s electorate
Deloittes Access Economics identified these six crossings in priority order for overpass works:
the Department of Transport and Main Roads confirmed a $3 million study was under way to remove the Cavendish Road level crossing
jointly funded by state and federal governments
The Australian government has allocated an additional $98.5 million for construction
with the project still needing funding from other levels of government to proceed
“As Brisbane City Council is the responsible authority for Cavendish Road and Stanley Street East and the surrounding road network
council participation and support is essential,” a department spokesman said
but an extra $93 million was needed from the three levels of government to cover the $399 million project

Brisbane City Council said it would not provide more than $40 million
however both federal and state governments increased their share and will now each contribute $179.5 million to a “refined” model
“Work is now underway to further refine the preferred option for the removal of rail level crossing,” the department spokesman said
Both federal MPs confirmed work was under way
A new option for Coopers Plains will be known by Christmas

Targeting the rapidly rising ranks of ageing baby boomers, it has been designed to meet an urgent need for aged-care stock as well as increasing demand for more contemporary and non-traditional forms of seniors living
The lodgement of the 18-storey integrated proposal comes two years after Bolton Clarke’s $10-million-plus acquisition of the 2693sq m site at 20 Harries Road
It was bought in a leaseback deal from the Coorparoo RSL sub-branch
With its ageing clubhouse needing extensive work
the prime holding at the junction of Harries Road and Holdsworth Street within Coorparoo’s shopping precinct was put on the block with a view to securing the club’s future
Bolton Clarke is the not-for-profit residential aged-care banner of RSL Care and the Royal District Nursing Service
which merged in 2015 and have filed the development application
Under the plans submitted to the Brisbane City Council
27 assisted living units and 60 residential care facility rooms
it would feature 212 carparking spaces and an activated ground level with a cafe and other retail-commercial spaces for the use of future residents and the public
The Conrad-Gargett designed scheme incorporates a five-storey podium topped by two 13-storey towers connected via glazed pedestrian hallways embellished with planters that create a green spine
the development is designed to “appear as a cohesive group of buildings each with their own individual character”
The proposal also includes indoor and outdoor communal and recreational spaces throughout the two towers as well as a rooftop garden with infinity pool
meeting room an indoor and outdoor dining areas
integrated residential aged-care and retirement living community,” a submitted planning assessment report said
“Proposed redevelopment of the site is in response to an identified community and economic need for greater housing diversity within Brisbane
specifically providing housing to allow ‘ageing in place’.”
It noted the retirement and aged-care initiative launched by Brisbane City Council in 2016 had identified the community and economic need to increase retirement and aged-care housing options in Brisbane by 50 per cent by 2027
The Coorparoo catchment is forecast to have about 55,533 residents aged 65 and over by 2041
an increase of 76.4 per cent of the current aged population
Based on the area’s projected ageing population and supply
a cited needs assessment report by aged-care industry consultants O’Hara Wells indicated the catchment faced a shortfall of at least 3600 retirement dwellings and 983 aged-care beds by 2041
The report also identified that the baby boomer market had a higher expectation for non-traditional forms of seniors living and care
“The overwhelming desire of older Australians to remain in their local community and their home was fundamental to Bolton Clarke’s decision to develop a vertical retirement and aged care community,” the DA said
“Of the existing and proposed residential care offerings
this proposal … is the only development delivering an integrated care choice allowing residents to age in place
“Without this development the local Coorparoo community will be unable to meet the expectations of its elderly residents.”
