<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/consolidated-properties">Consolidated Properties Group</a> (CPG) is approaching the launch of its latest Brisbane riverfront development, Castile, on the dress circle Skyring Terrace in Newstead.

VIP buyers are now being engaged, with a full public sales launch coming later this year.

Positioned as the final opportunity to secure a new absolute riverfront residence on the East bank of Newstead, Teneriffe or New Farm, Castile at 47 Skyring Terrace has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> as a timeless addition to the Brisbane skyline.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150489 project_image_fid=371113]

The name Castile draws on themes of permanence, sophistication and legacy, reflecting a broader vision centred on enduring architecture and timelessness in the rarest of riverfront positions.&nbsp;

CPG Chairman and CEO Don O’Rorke said the project had been envisioned as a future Brisbane icon.&nbsp;

“With 47 metres of direct river frontage and never to be built out views, 47 Skyring Terrace is the definitive address on the Brisbane River,” O’Rorke said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150489 project_image_fid=371114]

“Rather than following trend-based apartment design, Castile draws inspiration from Brisbane’s great heritage buildings, reinterpreting classical architecture into a contemporary riverfront landmark designed to stand proudly for the next 100 years,” he said.&nbsp;

The approved development will comprise 227 apartments across a 25-storey tower alongside a boutique six-storey riverfront building of just 12 residences.&nbsp;

Construction is scheduled to commence in September 2026.

CPG unveils Castile Newstead ahead of upcoming sales launch

Australia’s online shopping habits have shifted dramatically over the last decade. As eCommerce volumes surged, so too did the frustrations that came with traditional parcel delivery: missed deliveries, long Post Office queues, parcel theft and the challenge of being home during business hours.

Australia Post’s Parcel Lockers emerged as one of the more practical responses to that changing consumer behaviour.

What started as a relatively niche delivery option has evolved into a nationwide network of more than 1,400 self-service Parcel Lockers positioned at train stations, shopping centres, supermarkets and Post Offices across the country. The system allows Australians to send, collect and return parcels 24 hours a day, fundamentally changing how many people interact with deliveries.

The appeal is relatively straightforward: flexibility.

Instead of waiting at home for a delivery driver or rushing to a Post Office before closing time, users can direct eligible parcels to a Parcel Locker location of their choice. Once the parcel arrives, Australia Post sends a notification with a collection code or QR access through the AusPost app, allowing customers to retrieve their package at any time within the collection window.

For apartment residents in particular, the system has become increasingly valuable.

Higher-density living has created logistical challenges around deliveries, especially in buildings without concierge services or secure parcel rooms. Missed deliveries are common, while parcel theft has become an increasing concern as online shopping volumes continue to rise.

Australia Post itself has repeatedly highlighted the growing issue of “porch pirates” during peak shopping periods, encouraging customers to use Parcel Lockers as a safer alternative to unattended home deliveries.

That security aspect is one of the key reasons the Australia Post Parcel Locker network has grown so rapidly.

Parcel Lockers are positioned as secure, monitored collection points that reduce the risk of theft while also improving delivery efficiency for Australia Post. Instead of multiple redelivery attempts, parcels can be consolidated into a single secure destination.

The Parcel Lockers themselves are free to use through a MyPost account and support a range of parcel sizes up to 16 kilograms and dimensions of approximately 35 x 44 x 61 centimetres.

Beyond receiving parcels, the system has increasingly become integrated into the broader eCommerce ecosystem.

Customers can now use Parcel Lockers to return online purchases, while retailers have embraced the model as a way to improve delivery success rates and reduce friction in the shopping process. Australia Post has actively expanded partnerships with major retailers and promoted Parcel Lockers as part of a broader out-of-home strategy.

The timing of that expansion aligns with broader changes in Australian shopping behaviour.

The acceleration of online retail during and after the pandemic placed enormous pressure on delivery infrastructure. Parcel volumes reached record highs, particularly during Black Friday and Christmas periods, with Australia Post delivering more than 100 million parcels during peak festive seasons.

That growth forced logistics providers to rethink the “last mile” of delivery, widely regarded as the most expensive and operationally difficult stage of the process.

Parcel Locker systems have increasingly been viewed as part of the long-term solution.

The concept itself is not unique to Australia. Parcel Locker networks have become common globally, particularly across Europe and Asia, where dense urban environments and apartment living create similar logistical challenges. But Australia’s geography and suburban sprawl made adoption slower initially.

Now, however, the convenience factor is driving mainstream usage.

For commuters, Parcel Lockers near train stations allow parcels to be collected on the way home from work. For apartment dwellers, they remove the uncertainty around access and missed deliveries.

The rise of the AusPost app has also streamlined the experience, centralising notifications, tracking and Parcel Locker access into a single platform. Australia Post has increasingly pushed customers toward app-based delivery management, partly as a way to combat phishing scams and fake delivery notifications, which have become more sophisticated in recent years.

The Parcel Locker model is also beginning to influence property development itself.

Parcel management has become a growing consideration in apartment building design, particularly as online shopping becomes embedded in everyday life. Many new residential developments are now incorporating dedicated parcel rooms or Parcel Locker systems into foyers and communal spaces.

For developers, parcel management is increasingly viewed as part of the broader resident amenity offering, alongside gyms, wellness spaces and communal work areas.

That reflects a wider evolution in how residential buildings are designed.

Apartment buyers are placing greater emphasis on convenience, security and operational functionality, particularly in higher-density urban environments. Parcel delivery, once considered a minor operational detail, has become an increasingly important part of that equation.

Australia Post’s Parcel Locker network sits at the centre of that behavioural shift.

What began as a simple alternative delivery option has evolved into a key piece of infrastructure supporting Australia’s growing eCommerce economy and changing urban lifestyles.

And as online shopping continues to expand, the role of Parcel Lockers is likely to become even more embedded in how Australians live, shop and receive goods.

How Australia Post Parcel Lockers changed parcel delivery convenience in Australia

Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.

Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;

David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;

“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;

Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;

At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.

Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.

Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.

David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.

“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;

Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;

Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;

However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.

Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> has secured development approval for its latest Brisbane apartment project, marking the Sydney developer’s next step in expanding its Queensland pipeline following the success of its debut Gold Coast development, Coast.

The approved project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/44-glen-road-toowong-qld-4066">44 Glen Road, </a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> will deliver a 15-storey riverfront apartment building with 42 residences, significantly increasing the scale of the site’s previous approval for a smaller luxury scheme. Designed by Bureau^proberts, the development will comprise a mix of predominantly four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments positioned to maximise Brisbane River and city views.

Sammut Director Julian Sammut said the group had been actively searching Brisbane for several years before identifying Toowong as the right fit.

“Brisbane was the right step for Sammut,” Sammut said.

“With the success of Coast we thought we should definitely look to do more in Queensland alone. We then pushed up to look at Brisbane. We've been looking for I'd say two to three years actually and it was hard to find the right location.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dYAVIL7qdcGA8ojvkslSrLjczXFejSSx" />

Sammut said suburbs including New Farm and Teneriffe were considered before the group ultimately focused on Toowong due to its strong downsizer demographic and limited supply of developable riverfront land.

The site was acquired off-market after what Sammut described as a lengthy negotiation and planning process, with the developer pursuing an uplift to the original approval.

“We are DA approved now which is very exciting,” Sammut said.

“We've had our change approval come through and we've obviously doubled the height, 15 storeys plus rooftop. We've got 42 amazing apartments that are going to be coming to market soon.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" />

Bureau^proberts said the design responds to Toowong’s evolving urban character, balancing contemporary apartment living with the area’s established residential identity.

“A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintaining its character and charm,” the architect noted in planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council.

The architecture practice said the project’s form was shaped by its riverfront setting, flood considerations, neighbouring building scales, and view corridors.

“They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the ‘fundamental qualities of Queenslander living,’ translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.”

The development sits just off Coronation Drive within walking distance of Toowong’s retail precinct and the upgraded Regatta ferry terminal, while also benefiting from proximity to the incoming green bridge connection to West End. Sammut said the accessibility and amenity offering were central to the site’s appeal.

The approval adds to growing residential activity along the Toowong riverfront, joining nearby projects including Consolidated Properties’ Monarch Residences and Spyre Group’s ARC Residences.

Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

Developer Lanevick is heading back into Sydney’s apartment market after focusing more heavily on the luxury townhouse and terrace sector in recent years.

Lanevick, founded and directed by Steve Maroun, is expecting to receive approval in the coming months for a new apartment development in Gladesville, with the aim to launch it to the market later this year.

The 51-apartment project, designed by Studio Johnston, will comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments positioned toward the Hunters Hill downsizer market.

“Traditionally it’s been difficult for people in that market to downsize because there just hasn’t been the right product available,” Maroun said.

“We’re targeting buyers who might have 30 to 40 per cent of their house value sitting in the bank after downsizing.

“They still want good spacious entertaining areas, they still want quality design, but they also want flexibility and the ability to enjoy life a bit more after working hard for a long time.”

The project sits near Boronia Park and within close proximity to the Parramatta River foreshore, an area Maroun says offers more of a Hunters Hill lifestyle than a traditional apartment precinct.

“From a lifestyle perspective, it’s really more Hunters Hill than Gladesville,” Maroun said. “You’re close to the foreshore, close to parklands, and still connected back into the village precinct.”

From level four and above, apartments will capture water views&nbsp;toward Sydney Harbour. Communal amenity will include rooftop entertaining areas, wellness spaces, and a gym tailored toward owner-occupier buyers.

“We’ve really designed these apartments around that buyer coming from the Hunters Hill LGA and what they’re actually looking for in their next chapter.”

The proposed development has also been designed to respond to the changing character of the broader Gladesville town centre, where a growing number of mixed-use and residential proposals are expected to emerge over the coming years.

“Gladesville presented a rare opportunity to deliver a genuinely design-led residential project within an evolving lifestyle precinct, just moments from the growing Gladesville town centre, and we’ve approached the project with a strong focus on architecture, liveability and long-term community value,” Maroun said.

Maroun said Lanevick saw a first-mover advantage within the precinct as planning controls continue to evolve to accommodate greater housing density.

“We think there’s a real opportunity there that hasn’t really been serviced properly yet,” he said.

“There’s going to be a broader evolution of the whole Gladesville village precinct over time, particularly with more activation and mixed-use outcomes.”

The Venus Street proposal will include a commercial and retail component at ground level designed to contribute to that evolving streetscape activation.

“A big part of the thinking was how do you activate that area properly and create more vibrancy and amenity, which is what Hunters Hill has been looking for,” Maroun said.

Lanevick’s focus since 2020 has largely been on smaller-scale luxury townhouse and terrace developments. The developer recently completed Royale Randwick, also designed by Studio Johnston, where prices reached $3.65 million. The project was featured in the UDIA NSW 2026 Professional Development Prospectus and was also named a finalist for Development of the Year.

Malabar

<div class="tg-tlc-storybody_intro">
Sydney Swans co-captain Luke Parker pocketed $3.2 million when he auctioned his Malabar property on Saturday.
</div>
The 27-year-old midfielder had listed the five-bedroom house with $3 million hopes.
Parker bought it for $2.66 million in 2017, when it promptly became an $1800-a-week rental, and then ­offered again at $1700 last year.
Ray White Maroubra agent Nader Hotait took bids from three keen parties for the two-storey home which is ­encased in glass.
Set on a 375sqm block, the modern home features ocean bay views from its Victoria St location.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/9/7/malabar%202.jpg" alt="">
Parker is a dab hand in property, having been selected by realestate.com.au to provide video content on his projects undertaken with his seven-year partner interior decorator, Kate Lawrence.
Parker, whose Swans are three games out of the eight, and set to miss the AFL ­finals for the second year in a row, recently finished working on a stunning ­duplex in Matraville with Lawrence.
Tenants are being sought for one of the Lawson St houses, which has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is a pool in its north-facing yard, plus large entertainers’ deck and grass.

“The landlord was open to including pool and garden maintenance as part of the letting,” its Belle leasing agent Luke Overs advised.
Earlier this year Parker sold a Maroubra investment for $1.45 million, having paid $1.3 million in 2016.
Parker was picked up in the 2010 draft by Sydney after playing for the Dandenong Stingrays.

James Cummings, the youthful trainer of the racing royalty family, is selling the family home he shares with wife Monica Barrera-Cummings and their two children.
They’re wanting to move closer to his thoroughbred training base.
The six-bedroom Malabar home, bought in 2017, shortly after Cummings was named the head trainer at Godolphin, has been listed through Raine &amp; Horne Bondi Beach agent Hannah Bouskila.
“We’ve loved living in this house, watching the children grow up these past few years,” Cummings said.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/2/4/James%20Cummings%20Malabar%201.jpg" alt="">
“We’ve had an absolute ball, but if we move closer to my horses, I will get to spend even more time with my family.”
Cummings learned from his grandfather, the late legendary horse trainer Bart Cummings.
The 615sq m block comes with pool in the resort-style gardens. There’s a self-contained studio retreat that adjoins the gym.
Cummings was trackside at Randwick with Alizee running in the TAB Expressway Stakes while the first open home took place yesterday, with strong inspection numbers despite the heat.

The My Kitchen Rules co-host and celebrity chef Pete Evans and wife, the former glamour-model turned nutritionist Nicola Robinson, have decided to lease their former Malabar home.
The couple have quickly secured tenants having asked $1,600 a week. 
They've recently moved in to their forever home, just down the street, which they had been building for the last few years.
The former 1960s knockdown cost them $1.27 million in 2014. They spent around $1 million building the two-level, Metricon-designed home with a roof terrace and magnesium swimming pool.
Their former home was pulled from auction last month, when would-be buyers were being told similar homes were selling for between $2.5 million and $3 million.
It had cost them $1.44 million a 2013.
Built in 2008, it has five bedrooms and a designer commercial kitchen which opens on to a ground level wraparound ­courtyard.
Evans and Robinson have ­enhanced the size of the courtyard, which now features a swimming pool along with more entertaining space complete with barbecue and fireplace.
The upper level terrace, off the curved media room and master bedroom, has ocean views.
The couple wed in a secret ceremony in late 2016 on their farm.
The controversial celebrity chef hit headlines earlier when he endorsed a podcast supporting anti-vaxxer views, which actively encouraged parents to not listen to doctors' calls to vaccinate their children.
It comes after Evans said in 2016 there was no need for suncream.

It was back in 2014 when they bought a 1960s knockdown home with the intention of creating their family residence. The couple paid $1.27 million and have since built on the 580 sqm parcel at a cost of around $1 million.
The two-level, Metricon-designed home, which they moved into late last year, features a roof terrace. They’ve also got a dedicated ping pong room — Evans says the whole family are dedicated ping pong players.
It sits in exotic gardens that feature aloe trees, Mexican lilies and a climbing fig tree.

Upgrading MKR's Pete Evans lists redundant Malabar home

<html><body>
Sydney Swans coach John Longmire will be putting his feet up in a new Malabar home after his Swans sides finals run was cut short by a mauling from local rivals GWS.

Longmire and wife Shelley have not moved far, in fact they've stayed on the same street.

Having sold for $2.75 million (pictured above) in just nine days, the Longmire's secured their next home just 200 metres up the road.

They've paid $3,712,500 for a contemporary 2003 built home.

Spanning three levels, the home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study and a sauna.

The master retreat came with a spa ensuite, walk in wardrobe and dressing room.

The ground level living and dining areas open to the alfresco entertaining space which adjoins a swimming pool.

South Eastern Realty Malabar agent Angela Gladstone sold the home.

The Longmire's former home was bought shortly after he got the top job at the Swans.

They paid $1.7 million in 2011 and extensively renovated the two level, four bedroom home, adding a pool and cabana last year.

They opted against going through with the approval they secured for the home, which would have cost $1.1 million to turn it into a three level, five bedder.

Longmire, who played for North Melbourne during his AFL career, won a premiership with the Swans in his second season in charge.

Swans coach John Longmire moves up the street in Malabar

<html><body>
Longtime Sydney Swans AFL coach John Longmire and wife Shelley have found a buyer in quick time for their Malabar home, set just 200 metres from the beach.
They secured the sale after just one Saturday morning inspection, and the paperwork all signed within just nine days.
It sold far quicker that the lengthening median 37 days on market in the coastal eastern suburb.
Malabar has seen a string of big money sales which has pushed the median price to its record high, currently sitting at $2.35 million.
The suburb record price has stood at $4.38 million since 2016.
Inspectees of the Longmire's were told they were hoping for around $2.75 million.
Having paid $1.7 million in 2011, shortly after Longmire was given the top coaching job, the house has been extensively renovated, with typical beach themes of blue and white running inside and outside the home.
The couple moved from Melbourne where Longmire played for North Melbourne, with whom the Swans play Sunday afternoon at Etihad Stadium.
They resided in Marrickville and Clovelly before heading to Malabar.
Their two level, four bedroom home features upstairs master retreat with lounge and study space opens to a balcony with ocean, bay and headland views.
Internal renovations came in 2013, then the pool and cabana last year.
They also secured approval for a potential new $1.1 million, three level, five bedroom home.
South Eastern Realty Malabar agents Greg and Angela Gladstone snappily sold the home.
Longmire, a premiership winning coach in his second season in charge, has got big property shoes to fill if he wants to compete with the property endeavours of the former Swans coach Paul Roos in the coastal eastern Sydney property market.
Roos, who coached Sydney from 2002 to 2010 before handing the reigns over to Longmire, peaked in South Coogee selling for $5.4 million in 2014 following his decision to head to Melbourne.
Many of Swans coaches have owned around the eastern suburbs.
Ricky Quade, who was the inaugural coach after South Melbourne relocated to Sydney in 1982, has remained an active owner. His most recent acquisition was $1.9 million at Bondi Beach.
With a five year contract Tommy Hafey owned a house in Bronte in the mid-1980s; Rodney Eade was at Randwick.
Kevin Sheedy never owned, but rival AFL team coach, GWS's Leon Cameron sits high on the property ladder having spent $3.48 million in Hunters Hill. 
Longmire is from Corowa, the NSW-Victoria border town and his wife, Shelley is from nearby Mulwala.

Swans coach, John Longmire sells his Malabar home after a single inspection

<html><body>
Sydney Swans long-time coach John Longmire and wife Shelley are on the move having listed their coastal eastern suburbs home.
It's the Malabar property they purchased shortly after he was given the top job at the club.
The couple paid $1.7 million in 2011.
They've embraced the beachside lifestyle, reflected in their full-scale renovation over their seven year ownership.
The facade is typical beach, with a neutral white and blue wash, replacing the old and tired terracotta, green and cream coloured exterior.
The two level home 200 metres from the beach has four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The upstairs master retreat with lounge and study space opens to a balcony with ocean, bay and headland views.
Renovations came in 2013, with the most recent addition coming late last year when they added a rear solar heated swimming pool and poolside cabana.
They also scored approval for a new three level, five bedroom home, which comes with the sale.
The estimated costs to build the home submitted to the council is just over $1.1 million.
South Eastern Realty Malabar agents Greg and Angela Gladstone have it scheduled for forthcoming auction.
The listing has been nearly two years in the making.
In 2016 there was an off market offering, however no official listing materialized.
Longmire will be no doubt eyeing the street record, which currently belongs to his star-studded midfielder Luke Parker, who paid $2.6 million for a five bed home with a swimming pool last year.
Longmire took over from former Swans boss Paul Roos after the 2010 season having been a coach at the Swans since 2000, a year after his 11 year career at North Melbourne came to a close.
In his last game as a player he won his only 1999 AFL premiership.
Success came quicker in his coaching career, winning the 2012 premiership in his second year in charge.

Swans coach John Longmire lists Malabar home

<html><body>
Celebrity chef and My Kitchen Rules judge Pete Evans and wife, model and fellow health food fan Nicola Robinson, have quietly listed their contemporary Malabar home.
Evans, who has recently released his new book Low Carb, Healthy Fat, bought the home in 2013 with Robinson, who he wed in a secret farmyard ceremony last year.
The couple own a property nearby where they are currently building their next family home having paid $1.27 million for the three bedroom 1960s home and secured $960,000 building plans.
They've undertaken large scale renovations at their soon to be redundant home.
The wraparound courtyard now features a pool, along with more entertaining space complete with barbecue and fireplace.

Even a ping pong table revealed when Evans posted a picture to his 160,000 Instagram followers a few days ago.
There's a fish pinned above the fireplace.
Evans ofcourse improved the kitchen over the last few years.
The top of the range designer commercial kitchen comes with twin dishwashers, integrated Dual Wolf ovens and a built in Bain-Marie feature.
It comes with massive five metre island bench.
With a nod to Evans work-life, the marketing campaign suggests the home 'caters to buyers' looking for a private and modern luxury family residence.

Alex Larumbe, the listing agent currently with LJ Hooker Maroubra, has told inspectees that around $3 million is being sought for the home with minimalist interiors.
It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, sauna, along with a circular rooftop terrace.
Malabar is somewhat of a hotspot for chefs, with former MKR judge Colin Fassnidge owning in the suburb.
Evans also owns a 10 hectare Round Mountain acreage near Pottsville in northern NSW.
Inland from Hastings Point, the estate that cost Evans $1.2 million in 2014, has a three bedroom home with two lounges and a traditional timber kitchen.
Evans moved to Sydney with his brother David and their business partner David Corsi and began the successful Hugos chain in Bondi in 1996.
Then in 2000 they opened Hugos Lounge in 2000 then Hugos Bar Pizza in 2004, both in Kings Cross. They opened Hugos Manly in 2008.
His first move into TV was in 2001 for the LifeStyle Channel's 'Home Series' which he co-presented with Brendan Moar and Shannon Fricke.
Since 2010 Evans has been a judge on My Kitchen Rules with co-host Manu Feildel.
