What makes Woolloongabba good for granny flat investment?expand_more

Typically practical, reliable tenants valuing location and transport over luxury finishes.
Does proximity to the Gabba affect rental demand?expand_more
Yes, positively! The Gabba stadium creates unique rental opportunities during major cricket and AFL seasons, concerts, and events. While most tenants are long-term hospital workers or commuters, Gabba proximity enables premium short-term rental opportunities during major events, potentially earning $150-$250+/night on event weekends, supplementing consistent long-term rental income.
What's the maximum granny flat size in Woolloongabba?expand_more
Brisbane City Council permits 80m² maximum gross floor area for Woolloongabba granny flats, excluding outdoor areas like decks, carports, and verandas.

Are there heritage considerations in Woolloongabba?expand_more
Some Woolloongabba properties with worker's cottages or in character housing areas have heritage considerations requiring sympathetic granny flat designs.

Should I prioritize durability over luxury finishes in Woolloongabba?expand_more
Yes! Woolloongabba tenants primarily value proximity to PA Hospital, the Gabba, and Buranda station over premium finishes. We recommend investing in durable, low-maintenance materials, good insulation, functional layouts, and reliable appliances rather than luxury fixtures. This approach maximizes rental returns while minimizing ongoing maintenance costs, ideal for Woolloongabba's practical market.
