Maxton Fox’s Podium workstation pods were customised into concierge-like service desks for the HiQ centre at QUT’s Kelvin Grove campus
The design was re-engineered from a 4-way to a 3-way configuration
optimising stability and functionality with an electronic height adjustment
14 Apr 2025 • 1m read • View Author
HiQ is QUT’s student services function. Various HiQ centres exist throughout the campuses to support students on their education journey, whilst also providing library services.
Maxton Fox was engaged to manufacture service desks for the HiQ centre at QUT’s Kelvin Grove campus. We were asked to customise our Podium workstation pod range into a unit that is sufficient for a concierge-like function.
Instead of a 4-way clover shape, we re-engineered the system to be 3-way with a smaller base circumference whilst also maintaining the stability, particularly when raising the desk height with the electronic mechanism.
The work was executed to the satisfaction of both the client and the project team.

Renters have been horrified after a landlord transformed a windowless garage into a 'studio space' and demanded almost $300 a week from future tenants
The space was described as a 'self contained room' at a property in Kelvin Grove, Brisbane's inner north
and came with a hefty $280-a-week price tag
The rental was listed on Facebook Marketplace and stood out for all the wrong reasons - including not having any windows
The 'room' was listed as a 'quiet and safe place' and was centrally located, with an Aldi store just 350m away
which had exposed plumbing pipes running along the ceiling
also said it was located near a bus stop and was 'available now'
a make-shift kitchen consisted of some shelving and a microwave - while a sink and fridge appeared to be missing
Prospective tenants shared their shock the garage could even be considered a legal rental
'I wish people would stop thinking this is OK,' another wrote
Another added: 'I’m not sure but aren’t bedrooms/living spaces required by law to have windows'
The garage listing comes at a time when renters are facing historically-high weekly rents and low supply
The median rental for Kelvin Grove is $525 for a one bedroom unit, according to Queensland Residential Tenancies Authority.
Although requirements can vary between states and territories, a habitable room in Australia must have access to natural light and ventilation and must have a ceiling height of 2.4m.
The window can open in another room, but as the garage is just the one room, it is hard to know if it qualifies because there was no picture of a bathroom window.
The Queensland Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 states the minimum standards and requirements for rentals properties.
'While the Act does not include a definition of what makes something a room, the minimum standards require that rental properties include curtains or other window coverings,' a spokesman said.
'[These] provide privacy in rooms where the tenant might reasonably expect it, such as bedrooms or a bathroom.'
In Australia, there is a window requirement for all rooms, according to the Master Builders' website.
'The Building Code of Australia has a minimum requirement for natural light to a habitable room. It is calculated based on the floor area of a habitable room,' it said.
'A window opening is required that has an area 10% of the floor area of the room.'

A number of suburbs have been identified as property hot spots by Place Advisory, including Bowen Hills, Fortitude Valley, Spring Hill, Herston, Kelvin Grove, Woolloongabba, East Brisbane and Kangaroo Point.
Data from Domain shows some of these suburbs have the lowest property prices in the Brisbane local government area, despite their prime inner-city locations.
For units, Fortitude Valley is the most affordable, with a median unit price of $510,900, then Bowen Hills at $525,000. Kelvin Grove and Spring Hill come in at $550,000.
Woolloongabba’s median unit price is $625,500, while East Brisbane, which fronts the Brisbane River, has a median of $680,000.
“We have become the second-most expensive city in Australia,” she says. “I think it’s really important to understand that even outside of the Olympic Games, we were already seeing such strong price growth.

“When we look at the incredible demand that we’re seeing in Brisbane [and] our expected population growth, and then when we add the Olympic Games to that, there is a prospect that Brisbane will actually overtake Sydney. Only time will tell if that’s the case.”
1 Bath2 ParkingView listing Sydney’s median house price is currently $1,645,444. For Brisbane to surpass that figure, the median price would have to leap by $629,252 over the next seven years – or nearly $90,000 a year.
Domain’s data shows Brisbane’s median house price rose by $99,708 between December 2023 and December 2024.
Brisbane’s median unit price leapt by $97,066 during the same time.
The Queensland government unveiled its plans for a brand new world-class stadium at Victoria Park this week, as well as plans for a number of other venues and infrastructure projects across Brisbane, including a new aquatic centre at Spring Hill, a whitewater centre at Redland and the main athletes village at the the RNA Showgrounds in Bowen Hills.
Place Estate Agent chief executive Damian Hackett says while there has already been huge growth in Brisbane recently, property prices in suburbs in and around the Olympic stadiums and infrastructure could double over the next seven to 10 years.
“If you look at Sydney, the suburbs surrounding a lot of infrastructure grew almost double over an eight to 10-year period,” he says. “With that increase in post-Games liveability and entertainment precincts, those areas will probably outperform the rest of Brisbane.
“If you’ve had 10 per cent growth for seven-and-a-half years – which is where we are now – that compounds out to be a doubling of prices.”
That sharp trajectory of growth forecast for key suburbs is also likely to ripple out to other areas, lifting their values in turn, Hackett says.
“A hot suburb will get a huge amount of demand, and retraction will drive the prices up to a point where it becomes almost unaffordable, and people start looking at the next suburb out,” he says. “It’s a well-proven pattern that’s worked in the past.”
Mercorella acknowledges forecasts of another Brisbane property boom will not be well-received by everyone.
“When we’re talking about multi-billion-dollar infrastructure projects, if you are trying to get that first foot on the property ladder, that’s probably not necessarily going to be the kind of news you want to hear about,” she says.
“So we really need to make sure that in the years leading up to these games that we are laser-focused on that issue of creating more supply, otherwise the affordability crisis will only deepen further.”
Place Advisory revealed several suburbs likely to experience notable growth in property values, driven by increased demand for housing and the ongoing infrastructure improvements in these areas.
“These infrastructure developments will enhance connectivity across Brisbane, creating prime residential opportunities that will transform the city’s real estate landscape,” Hackett says.
2 Baths4 ParkingView listing The heart of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be delivered at Victoria Park, with a new world-class Brisbane Stadium to be built as part of a thriving central Games precinct. Located in the suburb of Herston, across from the RNA Showgrounds and the Royal Brisbane Hospital, Victoria Park is heritage-listed inner city parklands and borders the suburbs of Spring Hill and Kelvin Grove.
Kelvin Grove has a median unit price of $550,000 and a median house price of $1.25 million.
1 Bath3 ParkingView listing Perched on the northern CBD fringe and bordering the beautiful Roma Street Parklands, Spring Hill is one of Brisbane’s oldest established suburbs, but has long flown under the radar and experienced slower property growth compared to other inner-city areas.
Data from Domain puts Spring Hill’s median house price at $760,500, but the extremely low volume of housing available means fluctuations in the figure can occur. Residential property in the suburb is mostly made up of units, but with a median unit price of $550,000, it is still one of the cheapest suburbs in which to buy a unit in Brisbane.
1 Bath1 ParkingView listing The construction of over 400 apartments and substantial upgrades to local infrastructure, including improved transport links to Olympic venues, is likely to drive substantial growth in Bowen Hills.
Chief among these upgrades is the development of the Athletes’ Village. Place Advisory says the introduction of new residential complexes, alongside transport and infrastructure upgrades, will position Bowen Hills as one of Brisbane’s most sought-after investment hotspots.
Post-Olympics, the area will feature build-to-rent (BTR) accommodation.
Bowen Hills is just over one kilometre from the CBD and its median unit price is $525,000.

Revered for its fine dining, high-end retailers and cafe culture, James Street’s panache is eclipsed only by the history and richness of Fortitude Valley’s live music scene and diverse nightlife.
Fortitude Valley is currently the cheapest suburb in the Brisbane LGA, coming in at $510,900 for a median-priced unit. Prices have risen 17 per cent over the past 12 months, which Hackett attributes to affordability, as well as the local amenities.
“The Valley”, as it is known in Brisbane, borders New Farm, arguably Brisbane’s most prestigious suburb. The median price for a unit in New Farm is $940,250 – close to double Fortitude Valley’s prices.
Place Advisory says Fortitude Valley will see increasing demand for housing as the infrastructure improvements make the area more accessible. The suburb’s cultural and commercial vibrancy, combined with better transport access, will make it attractive to investors and residents alike.
2 Baths1 ParkingView listing The GoPrint site at Woolloongabba is set to be redeveloped into Brisbane Live, a major private-sector project which promises to deliver an indoor arena that will replace the original Roma Street proposal.
Post-Games, the Gabba will undergo a transformation as part of an urban renewal project, evolving into a vibrant apartment precinct.
Impact: The transformation of the Gabba site will create a legacy, driving demand for apartment and investment options in Woolloongabba.

The cost to move into a bigger home could cost Melburnians more than $1m in many suburbs
Melbourne families are facing a more than $1m bill to upgrade to a home with just one extra bedroom
New Real Estate Institute of Victoria figures show a dozen suburbs across the city now have a four-bedroom median house price that is a whopping seven figures higher than that of a three-bedroom home
RELATED: 36 Australian no-go suburbs for property investors revealed
Home building giant’s $10m buyout to affect 1000s of Aussies
And with rising building costs making upgrading their existing home a challenge
there are fears a growing share of families will be forced to walk away from schools and community groups if they want to have more children
The REIV’s list of $1m-bedroom suburbs is headed by Toorak
where the typical price rises by $2.8m from a three-bedroom house to a four-bedder
as well as affluent areas like Hawthorn and Brighton
But once affordable St Kilda has joined their ranks
with its median three-bedroom home costing $1.544m — but a four-bedroom floorplan costing a $2.7m
And with the cost of an extra bedroom adding six figures in vast numbers of other Melbourne suburbs
REIV president Jacob Caine said young families now needed to be thinking ahead for 20 years compared to the 7-10 years their parents might have planned for
Mr Caine warned that for those who did upsize their family
the added cost needed to follow suit with their home could force other big life changes
this four-bedroom home at 19 Bonview Rd is priced at $7.5m-$8m
If you can’t commit to those financial requirements
then you will be forced to look elsewhere and move outwards and that has an impact on the community that you have perhaps become involved with and build deep connections with,” he said
“There are really difficult choices that need to be made
either at the outset of getting into the property market
Mr Caine noted the data should be particularly noteworthy for first-home buyers
with many opting for a $600,000-$700,000 two-bedroom unit in a desirable suburb — but perhaps not realising that a three-bedroom one in the same neighbourhood costs more than $1m
He added that on top of the added cost of upsizing for an extra bedroom
which research had shown was stopping more than 90,000 Victorians from changing their address to better suit their needs
77 Mathoura Rd, Toorak is for sale for $2.85m-$2.95m
Toorak is the most expensive suburb when looking to upgrade from a three-bedroom to a four-bedroom home
The 77 Mathoura Rd home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms
“That says that people are making decisions about where to live based not on amenities in the area
or good schools … but purely on the basis of a tax,” he said
Prominent buyers advocate Cate Bakos noted that for many of the suburbs where the median price rose the most
houses were built on relatively small block sizes of a few hundred square metres
Ms Bakos said this meant the cost reflected heightened building costs
especially for adding a second storey to a house — which could come with planning
“And buyers will say I’d rather pay the extra million than go through all that,” Ms Bakos said
4 Kelvin Grove, Prahran is a four-bedroom property on the market right now with a $3.6m-$3.96m asking price
Gary Peer Real Estate partner Daniel Peer said that in some areas like Caulfield North
where going from a three-bedroom home to a four-bedroom one raises the median price by $1,041,500
a big factor was the shift from a 300-450sq m block to one that spanned 550-700sq m
but there’s a bit more of a reason for it,” Mr Peer said
The figures also revealed about 20 suburbs around Victoria where upgrading was far more feasible
with a $1.16m median-priced four-bedroom house in Point Lonsdale only costing $10,000 more than a three-bedroom one
In Frankston North the upsize only adds $15,250
while in Ivanhoe East extra space only adds another $20,000 to the price
Ms Bakos said for affluent areas like Ivanhoe East
limited cost rises likely reflected repurposing rooms
with the suburb’s older homes likely already having space for four bedrooms within them — but designated as an extra living space in a three-bedroom floorplan
This four-bedroom property at 28 Montclair Ave
Brighton has a $3.75m-$4.125m asking price
Mr Caine added that in most instances where a home was expanded with a renovation to add an extra bedroom
that homeowners could expect to recoup their spend upon selling – particularly if they tackled the project with advice from good local real estate agents

The Holy Angels pre-school project will go ahead as planned on the Kelvin Grove site Photo: michaelorourkephotography.ie
The overall project also includes the refurbishment of Kelvin Grove House as a new National Ambulance Service base.
At a recent meeting of the Health Forum Executive South, Carlow member cllr Fergal Browne asked for a detailed update on plans for the Kelvin Grove site.
The HSE stated that HSE Capital and Estates, in conjunction with a number of services, is reviewing options within the current development control plans for the remainder of the Kelvin Grove site.
“A meeting took place on 18 March 2025 between Capital and Estates, Disability Services and the Holy Angels and a decision was made to revise the project to separate Holy Angels and the CDNT into two separate projects. St Dympna’s will be upgraded to accommodate the CDNT and the Holy Angels school will progress as planned on the Kelvin Grove site,” the HSE stated.
“The schedule of accommodation is being reviewed and is expected to be finalised in the next few weeks. Once this schedule is agreed, the design team will then translate this to a new design layout and advise on an overall cost,” the HSE confirmed, adding that “this project is a priority for the HSE and is included on the current HSE capital plan”.
The HSE also confirmed that it is working with the National Ambulance Service and is in the process of engaging a design team for the development of a new ambulance base on the Kelvin Grove site. It is anticipated that the design team will be appointed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
“Due to the national procurement rules, a new framework for the engagement of design teams is required. The process had proven to be extremely challenging,” the HSE stated.
“Following the above appointment, the project programme and key dates will be agreed with the service and circulated. This project is a priority for the HSE and is included in the current HSE capital plan.”

“Back in those days L’Estrange had a lot of unusual things like a pet emu and a scaled-down version of the Roman baths,” Ms Terrassin said
“I’m not sure why the two houses would have been connected
but the romantic in me has thought of lots of possibilities.”
And unveiling an underground secret was not the only surprise for Ms Terrassin – the address also proved to be a talisman for unexpected love
Kelvin Grove has been home to a mysterious past
and I remember instantly feeling that this house would heal me,” she said
“And heal me she has – I met the love of my life at 56.”
“I call this house Madame and from the first moment I walked in
Kelvin Grove was completely renovated in 2018 adding to the class and charm of the property
Ms Terrassin puts her good fortune down to the home making her feel “calm and centred and loved”

A development application has been lodged for a Child Care Centre
Designed by Opus Architecture
the proposal is for a Child Care Centre within the renovated former Kelvin Grove Police Station (Local Heritage Listed) retained onsite and an extension addressing the site topography to the rear
The proposal seeks a maximum building height of 3 storeys (approx
9.5m in overall height) and a 2 storey appearance to L’Estrange Terrance and Lorimer Terrace frontages
The proposed day care service seeks to operate from 6am to 7pm (Monday to Friday)
The proposed child care centre has been designed with a basement car park area
Pedestrian and Vehicle proposed access is to L’Estrange Terrance
The planners at Place Design Group
state “the retention and enhancement of the Local heritage place prominent within the streetscape retains a visual link with the historic character of the Kelvin Grove area while also reinforcing a strong sense of place and community identity within the existing community facilities orientated locality.”
“The proposed development is located to the rear of the heritage building to retain the primacy of the heritage building within the L’Estrange Terrace and Kelvin Grove Road streetscapes
The continuation of the community purposes use allows the building to retain the historic use of the site
connecting with the wider community and educational purposes within the area.”

Dealing with loneliness and social isolation at the Kelvin Grove Urban Village is the aim of a new community engagement initiative
The project is funded by the Kelvin Grove Urban Village Principal Body Corporate (KGUV PBC) and is a community collaboration between QUT Design Lab
It was also supported by Brisbane Housing Company
Queensland Academies Creative Industries (QACI) and La Boite Theatre Company
PhD candidate Kavita Gonsalves came up with the idea as part of her PhD studies in the QUT Design Lab supervised by Professor Marcus Foth and Dr Glenda Caldwell
Ms Gonsalves said the project was initially designed to engage in both physical and digital placemaking
the entire project was converted into an online delivery mode
involving digital platforms such as Google Classroom
and Mozilla Hubs Virtual Reality," Ms Gonsalves said
"The project produces over a dozen digital stories
which are geographically tagged and embedded across the Kelvin Grove Urban Village."
From the story of a 13-year-old boy leaving Mongolia to move to Kelvin Grove with his family
to the many stories that include themes of anxiety
the 16 stories aim to give insight into the lives of those living in the area
"As the residents come from different parts of the world
the game will involve them in digital storytelling," Ms Gonsavles said
"Through the process of intimate storytelling
the residents will become aware of one another's histories
develop an understanding each other's backgrounds and help build meaningful connections within the community."

Home Newsroom School’s cuddly donation delights Brisbane seniors
Kind-hearted primary school students are helping to bring more smiles to the faces of Brisbane aged care residents
Junior school students from Kelvin Grove State College wanted to support older members of their community
so they decided to raise money for the nearby Carinity Hilltop aged care community
Abbie Duncan was a member of Kelvin Grove State College Junior School’s student representative council (SRC) which was behind the charitable donation
“Our SRC teachers asked for us to come up with some ideas for what we could fundraise for
and we wanted to support something in the local community,” Abbie says
“I knew the residents in aged care had been in lockdown and had been doing it tough during COVID
so we thought it would be a good idea to help them by fundraising.”
enabling Carinity Hilltop to purchase three new companion pets for their residents
“Companion pets are life-like electronic devices which move and sound like real animals and respond to petting and hugging,” Carinity Hilltop Diversional Therapist Lois Healy says
“They provide great comfort and joy for older seniors.”
Abbie says Kelvin Grove State College holds free dress days for students each term
with money raised supporting local community groups
“I think it’s important to be involved and be a part of the community because we’re all neighbours,” Abbie says
The school is currently hosting a contest for students to name one of the companion pets
“Our residents and staff thank the school students for their very generous donation
We look forward to more collaborations in the future,” Carinity Hilltop Residential Manager Ramandeep Gill says

Carinity is mourning the passing of the one of the oldest people to live independently in a Queensland retirement village
who lived at the Carinity Hilltop seniors’ community in Kelvin Grove
She was born Mildred Wehl in Toowoomba on 11 February 1915
two months before Australian troops landed at Gallipoli
and was raised on a sheep grazing property outside Surat
Mildred’s son David Phipps says his mother had a very happy bush childhood with her five siblings in rural south-west Queensland
“She was an expert horse woman and took part in station life – mustering
Supplies were delivered by dray every six months
“The property was 60km from town – a long ride in a sulky
The family lived on meat from the property
veggies and fruit from the garden and milk from a cow.”
Mildred would recall travelling by Cobb & Co
coach from Surat to the train at Yuleba – a journey of around 80km – until her father bought a car in 1922
Mildred went to boarding school at Moreton Bay College in Brisbane and only returned home to Surat twice a year for holidays
“She was greatly influenced by the good education she received there and the Christian principles of her teachers whom she kept in touch with until they died,” David says
Mildred became a nurse and theatre sister whose dedication and skills were well regarded by some of the leading surgeons of the day
Mildred married Norman Phipps at the City Tabernacle Baptist Church in Brisbane
They had four children with the family tree later growing to include six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren
After Norman’s war service during World War II
the Phipps family moved to Gympie in 1946 and then to Ascot in Brisbane in 1955
Mildred was one of the first residents of the then new Hilltop Gardens retirement village
buying her unit “off the plan” and moving in in 1983
David says his mother lived independently there for a “full and satisfying 37 years” and “made many good friends.”
“Mother spent her final years doing quiet charitable work and caring for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren,” David says
Carinity Retirement Villages Manager Phillip Sellwood says Mildred would be remembered as an active woman and an avid gardener who loved her roses
“Up until recent years she would regularly walk into the city from her home at Kelvin Grove,” Phillip says
“She was extremely well respected by all the other residents who made her acquaintance over the many years that she resided at Carinity Hilltop.”

22 November 2016 | Tennis Queensland
Kelvin Grove State College has played well above its ranking
losing just one round-robin tie to the eventual winners
to take home Bronze from the National Schools Challenge in Albury
It’s one of the most impressive results ever achieved by a Queensland team at the event
Here’s a run down of how the girls performed by the school’s Tennis Excellence Co-ordinator
“Going in to the tournament as the sixth ranked team the girls finished second in their pool only losing to the very strong and eventual winners Meridan girls school from Sydney
In the cross over semi-final match Kelvin Grove played the undefeated Applecross High school from Perth and were very close to causing an upset only to go down three rubbers all but losing on sets differential
This placed the girls in a playoff for third and fourth against the girls from Maribyrnong College
Once again this was a tense and hard fought match
Many lessons were learned from the previous day and this time Kelvin Grove prevailed three rubbers all
Mali Vili and Jessica Haylo can all be very proud of their efforts especially considering they will be eligible for this tournament for the next two years
Coach Jesse Catterall and Chaperone Natalie Foster were instrumental in helping the girls perform at such a high standard during the tournament.”
Sarah Tuckett is the new owner of 2/35 Victoria St
AN INNER-city cottage with near-zero carbon footprint changed hands from one environmental scientist to another at an auction this morning
The quirky Kelvin Grove home, named “Stringybark Cottage”
attracted an intimate crowd of about 25 who gathered in the backyard to watch on as the auction for the property unfolded
A few minutes of silence ensued after Harcourts Solutions auctioneer Phil Broom invited an opening bid, but after he threatened to entertain the crowd with facts about timber due to the amount of it used in 2/35 Victoria St property
a bid was placed by Your Property Hound buyers agent Matt Reeves at $650,000
Auctioneer Phil Broom counting down the final bid
with one other out of the four bidders fighting Mr Reeves for the property
Bids began in $25,000 increments before dropping to as low as $1000
but it was Mr Reeves’ tactic of adding $500 to his competitor’s most recent bid that scored his client the property
Almost everything in the home was sustainable
The two-bedroom cottage had been carefully built over a number of years by environmental scientist Mark Annandale
sourcing timber from as near as Hamilton and as far as north Queensland
An old garage from next door was converted into a studio for the home and some of the doors were built by Endeavour Foundation
who employs and supports people with intellectual disabilities
Mark Annandale and Sarah Tuckett are all overjoyed with the outcome
Buyer Sarah Tuckett had been on the hunt for property for about six months before one of her friends sent her a link to the home while she was holidaying overseas
“I just knew instinctively when I saw it that it was going to be my house,” Ms Tuckett said
the guy who built this is an environmental scientist
it’s all recycled and it’s just so beautiful.”
Harcourts Solutions sales and marketing consultant Marisa Yaksich said it was a “really great result” and “above our expectations”

Qld house with tunnel/bunker to go to auctionSamantha Healy
A historic Brisbane house with an mystery tunnel and an “intriguing” bunker could have a new owner just in time for Halloween
with the 1860s residence to go under the hammer this weekend
Located at 101 Herston Road, Kelvin Grove
the unique property is being marketed by Place Newmarket agent Javier Bacle and will go to auction as part of the real estate franchises massive auction event on Saturday and Sunday

Side hustle: Family makes money by the hour renting out their pool
Over 80 properties will be called during The Day
an event that now spans two due to the sheer number of properties to be called
But it is the Kelvin Grove estate that is the most mysterious
“A truly unique feature of this home is the underground tunnel that runs the length of the house
together with an intriguing historical bunker,” the listing says
Mr Bacle said the unusual inclusions at the elegant property were “cool”
“It (the tunnel) runs about 30m under the kitchen to the master bedroom,” he said
“Access is via a door near the garage and a ladder
“The bunker is separate again and is currently used for storage
“Stairs to the garden separate the tunnel and the bunker.”
While there are no listing pictures of the tunnel or bunker
But Mr Bacle said he has “absolutely has no clue” who or why the tunnel and bunker were built
however numerous air raid shelters were built around the suburb during the war
Many have since been turned into bus and sun shelters
Website ozatwar.com has also documented reported secret tunnels across Queensland
Ms Terrassin told realestate.com.au that it was a psychic friend who told her during her search for a home that she would purchase one that had a tunnel
And she believes her mystery tunnel may be more than what it seems
After asking a builder friend to bore a hole in the wall of the tunnel
they discovered loose rubble in the cavity suggesting a labyrinth may lie behind it
is thought to have been connected to a former neighbour from the a member of the L’Estrange family who was known for his eccentricities
Set to go under the hammer on Saturday at 2pm
polished timber floors and generous living spaces filled with character interiors
including the same ceilings as the Wolston Farmhouse
The well-equipped modern kitchen has an island bench and quality appliances
and is open to a casual dining space that flows out to the conservatory
There is also a lounge and formal dining area that leads out to a large deck
including the master suite with two walk-in robes and an ensuite
a third bedroom and a possible fourth bedroom/storage space and another smaller storage space (the bunker)

Brisbane City Council has abandoned T3 lanes on one of the city's most heavily congested roads after audits revealed 90 per cent of peak-hour motorists were using them illegally
designed for the exclusive use of vehicles ferrying three or more people
will be replaced by T2 lanes on Kelvin Grove Road in a bid to improve travel times
Deputy Mayor Adrian Schrinner said a comprehensive Bluetooth traffic study undertaken by the council revealed an average of 52,000 vehicles were using the north side thoroughfare each day
It falls not far behind the city's most heavily congested roadway
which Cr Schrinner said averages 59,000 vehicles daily
was not an admission that the bid to encourage greater bus use and car pooling had failed
"If there was high compliance it's not something we would change but given 90 per cent are using them illegally
it is essentially rewarding people doing the wrong thing," he said
"Change is required and this change gets the right balance to give an advantage to bus users and car poolers
"We want to provide an advantage for bus users and with all the illegal use we want to get some enforcement in place to ensure only legitimate users can use the T2 lanes."

He said the council was in discussions with Queensland Police Service to increase enforcement along the thoroughfare
In 2011, State Government figures revealed Kelvin Grove Road users were more likely than any other motorists in the state to flout the law by using multi-passenger transit lanes
Cr Schrinner said it was important to retain T2 lanes
to advantage bus users and to continue to encourage commuters to car pool but there were few T3 lanes remaining across the city
"It is very rare to have more than two people
so the T3 lanes have low legitimate use," he said
"T2 is a more realistic option for Brisbane."
"We're progressively going through an audit and there's very low compliance with T3 lanes
they are essentially not being used for their intended purpose
"It's our priority as an administration to get traffic moving."
The council's Bluetooth traffic study revealed travel times along Kelvin Grove Road dropped as low as 26 km/h in peak hours
He said a raft of minor changes were expected to be undertaken in coming months to improve traffic flow across the city as a result of the study
"This is one example where we have taken the information and taken action," he said
we have 30 or 40 different projects in which there will be relatively minor changes but hopefully they will have a big impact on improving congestion."
He said it was anticipated the change would have little impact on bus travel times
An average of 30 buses an hour use the inbound T3 lane on Kelvin Grove Road
while 26 buses travel outbound in the evening peak period

A substation is under construction in the Brisbane suburb of Kelvin Grove
part of a larger $50 million program by Energex to overhaul the electricity network and bolster supply in the inner city area
The development is being built in response to growing demand in the Kelvin Grove Urban Village precinct
also home to a Queensland University of Technology campus and increasing residential and commercial development in the area
Primary contractor Zinfra installed the electrical equipment including the 11kV switchgear and associated underground feeder cabling
as well as the integration and testing of two 110/11kV transformers
saw cutting and the building of pits (joint bays) to connect the underground power cable as well as provide network access for future testing and maintenance of equipment
This civil component required considerable traffic control and local community engagement and management
The Zinfra team collaborated with Siemens to install the GIS units and have recently conducted pre-commissioning steps up to Phase Five
The project is scheduled to be finished on time in November 2014
Located approximately 3km north of Brisbane CBD
the Energex substation uses gas insulated switchgear (GIS) rather than the old oil insulated circuit breakers
allowing the substation to be housed in a largely enclosed building with aesthetic appeal
the Kelvin Grove development is a shining example of what future substations will look like
the general public would be hard pressed to recognise the building as a traditional substation,” Zinfra Group representative Helen Roberts-Ferguson said

one critical after crash in Brisbane's Legacy Way tunnelRBy Rebecca Hyam
Link copiedShareShare articleTwo people have died and a woman is in a critical condition after a three-vehicle crash in the Legacy Way tunnel in Brisbane's inner-west on Wednesday afternoon.
Queensland Police said preliminary investigations indicated a black Audi S3 was travelling north in the tunnel when it crashed into a silver sedan, which subsequently crashed into a small truck.
The driver and sole occupant of the Audi, a man in his 50s, died at the scene.
The crash caused major traffic delays on Wednesday afternoon. (Supplied: QLD Traffic)
A woman in her 20s, who was a passenger in the silver sedan, also died at the scene.
Police said the driver of the sedan was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a critical condition.
The driver of the truck was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Queensland Police Acting Inspector Steve Crabbe said emergency services responded to the crash at 3:10pm, which forced the tunnel to be closed in both directions and caused traffic delays.
He said the forensic crash unit was investigating the cause of the crash.
"Police are appealing for information in relation to the black Audi S3 that would have been travelling northbound on the Centenary Motorway and entering the tunnel," Acting Inspector Crabbe said.
CS Development Group’s third apartment project in Kelvin Grove – Victoria Park Residences – will launch later this month
following the successful sell out of their Park Edge development
Located on Victoria Park Road in the Kelvin Grove Urban Village, Victoria Park Residences will comprise of 118 one- and two-bedroom apartments on a 4,000 square-metre site
price and location we believe it is the best value apartment project in that area,” says Colliers International residential director Andrew Roubicek
“When compared to other developments in the area
this represents excellent value for money,” says Roubicek
One-bedroom apartments range in size from 68 square metres to 79 square metres and are priced from $343,000
Two-bedroom apartments range in size from 83 square metres to 105 square metres and start from $469,000
Victoria Park Residences will join CS Development Group’s other two projects in Kelvin Grove
including the Park Edge development on Tank Street
Park Edge has just recently been completed and was an enormously successful development
with all apartments selling out prior to completion of the project,” says Roubicek
“There were three factors that contributed to the sales success of Park Edge – size
with the apartments being larger than those in other projects; quality
with the apartments being superior to those in other developments; and pricing
with the sales prices being competitive in comparison to similar projects
“With Tank Street running off Victoria Park Road, Park Edge benefitted from the same proximity to amenity that Victoria Park Residences will, and we believe Victoria Park Residences will be every bit as successful as that project,” says Roubicek
Construction is scheduled to commence in early 2014 and has an expected completion date of mid-2015
The median apartment price in Kelvin Grove is $475,500
