New Toombul Road Retail Precinct Listed For Sale in Northgate

Thousands of motorists pass through Toombul Road every day, and one of Northgate’s newest drive-thru developments is now at the centre of a major commercial property campaign.

The adjoining Toombul Road properties — completed in 2023 by Brisbane developer Deluca — are being offered individually to investors through a campaign managed by Stonebridge Property Group. While the sale itself is aimed at commercial buyers, the development also reflects broader shifts underway across Northgate, where industrial land, commuter traffic and expanding retail services increasingly overlap.

Located about nine kilometres north of the Brisbane CBD, the site sits within one of Brisbane’s busiest transport and logistics corridors, connecting nearby industrial precincts with the Gateway Motorway, Brisbane Airport and surrounding northern suburbs.

Toombul Road becoming a key stop for commuters and workers

For many residents and commuters travelling through Northgate each day, the new drive-thru development has become one of the corridor’s most visible recent additions.

Positioned along busy Toombul Road, the precinct is exposed to more than 40,000 vehicles daily, according to marketing material released as part of the sales campaign. The site combines a standalone Starbucks café with an adjoining 7-Eleven fuel and convenience outlet, catering largely to passing commuters, shift workers and nearby industrial employees.

The surrounding corridor has increasingly attracted national retailers and large-format businesses, including Bunnings Warehouse, Officeworks, Supercheap Auto and Petbarn, reinforcing the area’s role as a growing commercial hub within Brisbane’s north.

Northgate’s industrial identity continues to evolve

Traditionally associated with warehousing, freight and industrial activity, Northgate has gradually transformed into a mixed-use suburb balancing logistics infrastructure with residential growth and modern retail services.

The suburb’s strategic position between Brisbane’s CBD and airport has made it increasingly attractive for both employers and developers seeking access to major transport links and established workforce catchments.

Nearby facilities operated by companies including Australia Post, Arnott’s and Lite n’ Easy contribute to significant daytime worker movement throughout the precinct, helping drive demand for convenience-based businesses and hospitality services.

At the same time, suburban growth across Brisbane’s north has placed additional pressure on infrastructure and local services, particularly in areas closely connected to major arterial roads.

According to the Statistician’s Office, South East Queensland’s population is forecast to continue growing strongly over coming decades, contributing to increased development activity across middle-ring suburbs such as Northgate.

Commercial sale reflects confidence in Brisbane’s northern corridor

While the Starbucks and 7-Eleven sites are primarily being marketed as long-term commercial investments, the campaign also highlights growing confidence in Brisbane’s northern suburban corridor more broadly.

The properties are being offered separately despite operating as a complementary retail precinct, with the Starbucks site occupying a 2,594 sqm landholding and the adjoining 7-Eleven positioned on a separate corner allotment.

Industry observers say newer convenience-based developments continue to attract strong interest in high-traffic suburban corridors, particularly in areas benefiting from population growth and transport connectivity.

Nundah Retail Plans Move Ahead For Former Toombul Shopping Centre Site

Photo Credit: Wikipedia

The former Toombul Shopping Centre site in Nundah is moving closer to redevelopment, with Irvine Group progressing plans for a staged mixed-use precinct at 1015 Sandgate Road.

The first development application is expected to be lodged in late July 2026, covering the initial retail stage of the project. That first stage is anticipated to include a department store, grocery store, food court and specialty retail tenancies.

The proposal marks the clearest step so far towards returning retail activity to the former shopping centre site, which has remained vacant after flood damage and demolition. No architectural concept plans have been publicly released.

Project representatives are working on an assumed assessment period of about six months from lodgement to approval. If that process proceeds as hoped, construction works are being targeted for April 2027.

Toombul Shopping Centre Site Set For Staged Renewal

The redevelopment is planned as a multi-stage mixed-use precinct, with retail forming the first stage.

Future stages are expected after 2026 and are planned to include further retail extensions and residential development. Current planning is understood to include four to five residential towers, with early planning referring to an approximate range of eight to ten storeys.

The residential component remains subject to ongoing design work. Possible short-term accommodation use has also been identified for later stages, but the final mix has not been confirmed.

Green Space Planned Along Kedron Brook

A significant part of the wider plan is the inclusion of landscaped green space along Kedron Brook, which fronts the site.

The open space is intended to connect with the creek-side parkland network and improve pedestrian movement through the precinct. It is also planned to form part of the early-stage works connected with the retail component.

The green space proposal adds another layer to the redevelopment, which is being shaped around retail, future residential uses and improved movement through the former shopping centre land.

Long-Empty Site Remains A Local Focus

Toombul Shopping Centre was established in 1967 and became a major retail destination for the surrounding area. After major flood damage in 2022, the centre closed and was later demolished.

Its absence has left a gap in local retail services, with community discussion continuing around what should return to the site. Much of that discussion has centred on the size of the future retail offer, flood resilience, parking, traffic, residential height and the need for everyday services such as supermarkets and essential shops.

Irvine Group acquired the site from Mirvac, with earlier plans already pointing to a retail-led mixed-use future for the land. The latest update now gives a clearer indication of the first stage, with the return of retail and grocery uses forming the immediate focus.

The next key step is the expected lodgement of the first retail-stage development application in late July 2026. The project remains in planning, but the former Toombul Shopping Centre site is now moving towards a defined redevelopment path after years of uncertainty.

Former Mick Doohan Raceway Site in Banyo Hits the Market

Google Maps

The former Mick Doohan Raceway site in Banyo has been put on the market months after the northside dirt track closed, reigniting concern within Queensland’s motorsport community about the loss of rider development venues in Brisbane.

The sprawling 22.66-hectare site is now being marketed for its industrial and logistics potential, marking a major turning point for land that spent more than four decades helping develop generations of riders.

The closure continues to stir strong feeling across Queensland’s motorsport community, particularly now that the site is officially being sold. An online grassroots campaign launched by Nomad Dirt Culture has amplified community concern about what has been lost and what may follow.

“Goodbye Mick Doohan Raceway,” wrote The Pole Line on Facebook. “A vital part in speedway for decades, launched countless careers, created memories for all.”

A track that shaped riders

The North Brisbane Junior Motorcycle Club managed the raceway for more than four decades through a series of short-term lease arrangements, building a venue with a 450-metre dirt track and a separate 300-metre speedway circuit that hosted everything from junior club racing to major open events drawing national-level competitors.

The venue took its name from Mick Doohan, the Brisbane-born rider who won five consecutive 500cc World Championships between 1994 and 1998. Doohan grew up in Kuraby and competed locally before rising through the ranks of international road racing. Naming the Banyo facility after him reflected the ambitions the track held for the riders coming through its ranks.

Those ambitions proved well-founded. MotoGP racer Jack Miller became a regular at the track in recent years, competing in the North Brisbane Cup alongside top-level speedway talent. Events promoted by Darcy Ward brought national attention to the venue and drew crowds that reflected strong community appetite for the sport.

Former junior racers including John Lytras, Harrison Voight and Billy Van Eerde also progressed through the venue before moving into national road racing pathways.

The raceway held its final meeting in December 2025, drawing 135 riders for the last running of the North Brisbane Cup alongside a parade lap involving past and present club members. The event also honoured the Cameron Pritchard Cup, established in memory of a young club member who had died.

The site is now for sale

BCC is now offloading the 22.66-hectare freehold parcel, which includes roughly 180,000 square metres of usable land. The expression of interest campaign closes on 26 May 2026. The marketing material highlights the site’s proximity to major arterial roads and Brisbane Airport, a clear signal that the land is being pitched for its industrial and logistics potential.

The former raceway sits surrounded on three sides by industrial buildings, with the Southern Cross Way and Gateway Motorways forming its southern boundary. It also sits close to the Triple Eight Race Engineering headquarters. Its location makes it attractive for industrial redevelopment, which is part of why many within the motorsport community believe the loss is unlikely to be reversed.

Two venues down, one in the works

The loss of two venues within two years leaves a significant gap in Brisbane’s speedway pathway system. Archerfield Speedway closed in 2023, and the closure of Mick Doohan Raceway has compounded concerns about where junior riders will train and compete in the future.

The most tangible hope for a replacement facility sits about 50 kilometres north. A proposed speedway and motocross complex at Beachmere near Caboolture has lodged a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation proposal to facilitate construction, though no confirmed timeline for delivery has been announced.

For the North Brisbane Junior Motorcycle Club, the search for a new home continues. Supporters can follow the Nomad Dirt Culture campaign on Facebook or contact the club through nbjmcc.com.au.

Nundah Residents Invited to Respond to Proposed Centre Changes

Photo Credit: Pexels

Nundah residents are being invited to have their say on proposed planning changes that could influence how the local centre grows, including taller buildings, more housing, and updated mixed-use development across key parts of the suburb.

What the Proposed Nundah Changes Could Mean

The proposed amendment focuses on parts of the Toombul–Nundah neighbourhood plan, covering land in the Major Centre zone and selected Mixed use areas west of the railway line. The Toombul major centre is not included in the changes.

For people living, working or owning property in Nundah, the proposal centres on allowing more homes and a broader mix of uses within walking distance of shops, services and transport. The aim is to support future growth while keeping the area functioning as a hub for daily needs.

One of the most noticeable changes would be building height. In sections of the Major Centre zone east of Sandgate Road, buildings could increase from up to 12 storeys to up to 15 storeys. In selected Mixed use areas west of the railway line, buildings of up to 10 storeys could be allowed.

Street-Level Activity and Everyday Use in Nundah

The proposal also changes how ground-level spaces are used. Instead of requiring a fixed percentage of non-residential uses, the focus would shift to ensuring active uses at street level.

This means shops, services or other non-residential uses would continue to play a role in how the centre operates day to day, while allowing more flexibility in how buildings are designed above ground level.

Transport Connections Remain Central

Nundah’s train station and bus routes remain a key part of the planning approach. The area is already used by people travelling to nearby suburbs and daily destinations, and the proposed changes include guidance to support walking, cycling and public transport use.

The intention is to keep the centre accessible while accommodating more residents and activity over time.

How Residents Can Have Their Say

Community consultation is open from 24 April to 25 May 2026, giving residents and stakeholders a defined period to respond.

To be considered, submissions must be made in writing and clearly explain what parts of the proposal are supported or not supported, along with the reasons. Each submission must include a full name and property address, and a signature is required if sent by post. Contact details such as a phone number or email can also be provided.

Submissions can be lodged online, by email at strategicplanninghousing@brisbane.qld.gov.au or in writing. After the consultation closes, properly made submissions will be reviewed, and a summary of feedback will be published.

Once consultation ends, the proposed changes will move into a review stage before being finalised. Further review steps are expected later in 2026, with the amendment anticipated to take effect in City Plan later in the year.

The current consultation period is the main opportunity to provide input before decisions are made on how the centre may develop in the future.

Helmet Hair Co. Apprentice Wins National Honour at Australia’s Biggest Hair Awards

@helmet_hair_co/Instagram

Helmet Hair Co. apprentice Jake Pafumi has been named Apprentice of the Year at the 2026 Australian Hair Fashion Awards, taking the national title at Sydney Town Hall on 19 April against a field of finalists from some of Australia’s most recognised salons.

Pafumi beat a competitive national shortlist that included apprentices from Joey Scandizzo Salon, Stevie English Hair, TONI&GUY and Tsiknaris Hair, presented by Aveda, to claim the award. Producing a national Apprentice of the Year from Nundah sends a signal that local training is operating at the highest level in the country.

The win adds to a successful night for the group, which operates Helmet Hair Co. alongside Fruition Hair in Wilston and Red Hill.

Fruition was named Australian Salon of the Year, Louise Graham of Fruition took Queensland Hairdresser of the Year, and Helmet Hair Co.’s Max Cooper was a national finalist for Australian Hairdresser of the Year. Three major titles and two further finalist positions across a single ceremony.

Inside Helmet Hair Co.

Helmet Hair Co. sits in Nundah in Brisbane’s inner north, and from the outside it does not look like the kind of place that produces national award winners. That is precisely the point.

Described by its owners as motorcycle chic meets editorial edge, the salon is industrial yet warm, built for individuality and self-expression, and deliberately positioned as the more rebellious counterpart to the refined Fruition salons.

The salon was built by Craig Smith, an AHFA Australian Hairdresser of the Year alumni who opened his first Fruition salon in Brisbane’s CBD in 1996 and has spent three decades developing some of Brisbane’s most awarded hair talent. Smith co-owns Helmet Hair Co. alongside his Fruition salons, and the group’s approach to developing apprentices has now produced its most significant result at the national level.

The AHFA Apprentice of the Year title is not given for potential. It is given for demonstrated work, judged by an international panel of industry experts who assess the full body of craft that an apprentice brings. For Jake Pafumi to win it reflects both his own talent and the quality of the environment in which he has been developing.

Helmet Hair Co. stylist Max Cooper was also a finalist for Australian Hairdresser of the Year,, the national title that represents the pinnacle of individual recognition in Australian hairdressing. The two nominations from the same Nundah salon reflect a culture of sustained high performance, not a single lucky year.

Significance of the AHFA

The Australian Hair Fashion Awards, established in 1992, is the longest-running and most prestigious independent hairdressing awards programme operating across Australia and New Zealand.

It is judged by international experts and covers the full spectrum of the profession, from individual creative categories to state titles, salon business performance and, through the Apprentice of the Year category, the pipeline of talent entering the industry.

For apprentices, the title is particularly significant because it places their work in direct comparison with the best emerging talent in the country at any given year.

Nudgee Cemetery: Shadows of the Past, Whispers of the Departed

Nudgee Cemetery, hidden in plain sight, stretches across the landscape as a vast and quiet testament to Queensland’s past. More than a simple expanse of headstones, it is a rich tapestry of lives, memories, and untold stories waiting to be discovered. Step with us into its pathways as we uncover the history, intrigue, and quiet mysteries of this remarkable resting place.

Established in 1867 as the first Catholic burial ground in the region, Nudgee Cemetery quickly became a significant landmark in Queensland’s history. Originally owned and operated by the Catholic Church, it has evolved into the largest cemetery in the Brisbane area, a sprawling tapestry of diverse stories and backgrounds.

Within its grounds lie the remains of prominent figures who shaped the state, alongside everyday individuals who contributed to its vibrant fabric. This mix of the famous and the ordinary, the grand and the humble, is part of what makes Nudgee so compelling.

But beyond the historical significance lies a deeper mystery. Nudgee has garnered a reputation as a haven for restless spirits, their presence whispered amongst those who wander its paths after sunset. These whispers, combined with the sheer age and scale of the cemetery, create an atmosphere ripe for historical exploration and paranormal investigation.

Eerie Encounters and Unexplained Phenomena

Among the most enduring tales is that of a young girl, her spectral form reportedly seen flitting amongst the tombstones. Visitors claim to have caught glimpses of her ghostly figure, moving swiftly through the shadows before vanishing into thin air. Her identity remains a mystery, adding to the intrigue surrounding her presence. Is she a lost soul, forever bound to the grounds, or a figment of overactive imaginations?

Adding to the cemetery’s spectral reputation are the strange orbs of light that have been witnessed floating above the graves. Some claim to have captured these luminous anomalies in photographs, while others describe seeing them with their own eyes. These unexplained lights, dancing in the darkness, fuel speculation about the nature of the afterlife and the possibility of spirits lingering among us.

A Place of Peace and Reflection

While the ghostly tales certainly add a layer of intrigue to Nudgee Cemetery, it’s important to remember that it is, first and foremost, a place of rest and remembrance. It’s a place where families come to honour loved ones and reflect on lives lived. The site’s historical significance, with its connections to Queensland’s past, adds another dimension to its appeal.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a paranormal investigator, or simply seeking a quiet place for contemplation, Nudgee Cemetery offers a unique experience. It’s a place where the past and present intertwine, stories are etched in stone and whispered on the wind, and the line between the living and the departed seems to blur.

Robinson Farmhouse Comes to Market, Offering a Rare Piece of Brisbane History

Ray White Banyo

Robinson Farmhouse at 302 Saint Vincents Road in Banyo, the oldest surviving residence in Banyo and the Nudgee area, has come to market for the first time in nearly five years, giving buyers a rare chance to own a piece of Brisbane history that has been standing since 1882.

The four-room cottage is a recognised local heritage place under the Brisbane City Plan 2014, listed as the earliest surviving residence in the Banyo and Nudgee area and the oldest nineteenth-century residence in Banyo. There are two nineteenth century farmhouses left in the entire suburb; the Robinson Farmhouse is the older of the two. For Nundah and Banyo residents, seeing this address come up for sale is the kind of thing that stops people mid-scroll.

A Cottage With a Story Older Than the Suburb Itself

William Bulcock Robinson built this modest cottage around 1882 along the road to St. Vincent’s Orphanage, on an 18-acre block he had purchased in August 1880. The style of the cottage, with its very steep gable-ended roof, is typical of houses built earlier than the 1880s, suggesting the structure may have been relocated to the property from elsewhere in Brisbane.

The house stumps were cut from local trees, and rough-edged timber hewn by axe, adze or saw was used to construct the four-roomed cottage. The roof trusses were made from tea tree timber, and the roof was originally covered with timber shingles before being replaced with galvanised iron sheeting. It is the kind of construction detail that makes you appreciate both the craftsmen who built it and the people who have kept it standing ever since.

William B. Robinson first appears as a resident in the Nudgee District in the 1889 edition of the Queensland Post Office Directories. The Robinson family held farms throughout Banyo, Virginia, Geebung and Aspley, and Robinson Roads East and West in Banyo are named after the family. The land around the farmhouse remained sparsely settled for decades, with the area only beginning to urbanise in earnest after the Robinson family created the Robinson’s Paddock Estate in 1928, which opened up Paradise and Langdon Streets and Redhill Road to residential buyers.

What the Home Is Today

The current owners, Katherine Young and Brett Advocaat, purchased the property in August 2021 for $735,000 and have spent their time there maintaining its heritage character while integrating contemporary comforts. The three-bedroom, one-bathroom home now features landscaped surrounds and a newly installed pool on the 647-square-metre block, which backs onto parkland.

View this post on Instagram

“We fell in love with the rich history and the unique soul of the house,” Brett Advocaat said. “It’s been a privilege to maintain a landmark where locals still stop by to share stories of the house from their childhood.”

That last detail says something important about what this address means to the people who grew up near it. Robinson Farmhouse is not just old; it is remembered. Locals carry it in their personal histories, and the current owners have found themselves the custodians of those memories as much as the building itself.

“Being so central and near the park, we have experienced the growth of Banyo, watched birthday parties, and observed the locals playing volleyball or pickleball,” Advocaat said. “These are all things that we can take in from our kitchen window or while tending to the garden.”

The Last of Its Kind

There are only two nineteenth century houses remaining in Banyo. Robinson Farmhouse at 302 St Vincent’s Road is one, and the Blinzinger Farmhouse former at 274 Tufnell Road is the other. While both are former farmhouses, each represents a different period in Banyo’s development and a different nineteenth century architectural style. Losing either to neglect or unsympathetic redevelopment would remove something irreplaceable from the suburb’s physical record.

In 2000, a group of community members comprising the BANGEE Festival Committee identified 302 St Vincent’s Road as a local heritage place and listed it as Location 22 in the Banyo-Nudgee Heritage Trail publication. That community recognition, driven not by planners but by local residents who understood what they had, says more about the house’s place in the suburb’s identity than any formal listing could.

A Home That Belongs in the Right Hands

For anyone who has walked past Robinson Farmhouse and felt the pull of it, this is one of those listings that does not come around often. It is heritage-listed, which means future owners take on the responsibility of stewardship that comes with that designation, but it is also a genuinely liveable, renovated family home in one of Brisbane’s most accessible northern suburbs, a short walk from Banyo Station and adjacent to parkland that the current owners have watched come alive with community life for the past four years.

Properties like this do not simply sell; they find their next keeper. Enquiries for Robinson Farmhouse at 302 Saint Vincents Road, Banyo can be directed to the listing agent.

Nundah Queenslander Sells for $2M, Draws 12 Written Offers

Photo Credit: Place

A beloved Nundah Queenslander has sold for $2 million after drawing twelve written offers in just six days — a campaign that laid bare just how fiercely competitive the local property market has become.

The home at 21 Carew Street became a talking point even before buyers stepped through the front door, thanks to a duck sculpted from a hedge that greets visitors at the gate. It was a small detail that left a big impression, but agents say the real draw was the property itself.

Place Ascot agents Olivia Charlton and Drew Davies marketed the home together, and Ms Charlton said the duck had a way of breaking the ice during inspections. The quirky topiary became something of a mascot for the campaign — earning smiles and more than a few photos — but buyers, she noted, were ultimately there for the character and quality of the Queenslander behind it.

The campaign moved at a pace well ahead of the broader Brisbane market. Written offers began arriving within 24 hours of the listing going live — before a single open home had been held. When the first inspection did take place, more than 100 people came through the door.

Mr Davies said the result came down to a combination of factors that, when they align, tend to send buyers into a frenzy. The home sits on a 501 square metre corner block, blends original character features with modern updates, and is positioned close to parkland — the kind of lifestyle package that is increasingly difficult to find.

Adding to the urgency was the property’s ownership history. The home had been held by the same family for close to three decades, and Ms Charlton said that generational turnover is becoming a significant driver of competition across the market. When a home has been off the market for thirty years or more, buyers understand they may not get another chance at something comparable.

The $2 million sale price sits well above Nundah’s current median house price. According to PropTrack data, the suburb’s median sits at $1.5 million — itself up 25 per cent over the past twelve months. Separate data from CoreLogic, cited by Your Investment Property Magazine, puts Nundah’s median house price at $1.25 million as of late 2025, with annual capital growth of around 20 per cent. Across multiple data sources, the direction is the same: values in the suburb are moving sharply upward.

That trend is consistent with what analysts have been saying about Nundah more broadly. Property experts have identified Nundah as a likely outperformer in 2026, pointing to its excellent connectivity — including rail access and proximity to the airport — strong rental demand, and low vacancy rates. As of September 2025, Nundah’s rental vacancy rate sat at just 0.7 per cent, well below the Real Estate Institute of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3 per cent.

With no new standalone houses in the development pipeline and high sales volumes in recent months, analysts have flagged that the current undersupply in Nundah is likely to persist — and that prices could rise further as a result.

For now, the Carew Street campaign offers a vivid snapshot of where the Nundah market stands. Homes like it — character-filled, tightly held, and in lifestyle locations — are not coming to market often. When they do, it seems all of Brisbane takes notice.

Nundah Man Secures $200,000 Windfall on His Birthday

A local man from Nundah has received the ultimate birthday gift in the form of a $200,000 windfall that will fund a long-awaited medical procedure.

The local man received the news of his luck through a phone call on Friday, 13 February 2026. The timing was particularly special as the announcement coincided exactly with his birthday. The North Brisbane resident had purchased an entry into the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot 1767, which resulted in a first-place win of $200,000. Upon hearing the news, the winner expressed total shock and noted that his heart was racing from the excitement.

He mentioned that he had originally intended to have a very quiet evening at home, but the unexpected financial boost meant those plans would likely change to something more celebratory.

While many might look toward luxury cars or overseas holidays, this winner has a very specific and practical goal for his windfall. He shared that he has wanted to undergo a major dental procedure for a long time but had been held back by the potential expense. With the $200,000 now secured, he intends to finally book the work to get a new set of teeth.

He explained that being able to afford the dental work without any financial stress was a dream come true. The man described the situation as a beautiful way to mark his birthday and expressed deep gratitude for the win.
