A new 23-level apartment tower has been greenlit on the burgeoning Chevron Island.

The approval for the 76-apartment block on the corner of Kalyan and Parneno streets&nbsp;was secured by the landowner Ben Taylor rather than a large development company.

The 1,012 sqm block, which is currently occupied by a brick home and an original building of four units, is located towards the north end of the island which has become a development hotspot in recent years.

The tower has been designed to “complement and enhance the existing and emerging urban forms” of Chevron Island, which has seen a marked shift toward high-density living in recent years.&nbsp;

The design, by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/raunik-design">Raunik Architects</a>, features a slender tower form above a two-storey podium, integrated landscaping on lower levels, and varied orientations to capture views of the hinterland, skyline, and coastline

Bensons kicked off a wave of new development on the under-developed suburb when they signalled plans to build the tallest tower the island will likely ever see, Chevron One. Since Siera Group has jumped in and is well under-construction of Tapestry, while South East Queenslander developer Gardner Vaughan Group will debut their brand in the Gold Coast on the small island.

The new approved plans will see a mix of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments on offer, as well as a rooftop pool, lounge, gym, barbecue areas, and a landscaped podium level lawn.

Vehicle access will be via Kalyan Street, with 98 resident and nine visitor car spaces provided across four basement levels and the ground floor, alongside 83 bicycle parking spaces

Urban Editorial

New tower approved on Chevron Island

ASX-listed developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/cedar-woods">Cedar Woods</a> has submitted a new application to Brisbane City Council for a two-tower residential development on its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/wooloowin-qld-4030">Wooloowin</a>&nbsp;site north of Brisbane.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/12-chalk-street-wooloowin-qld-4030">4,178 sqm Chalk Street block</a> sits in the developer's wider near 2.5-hectare masterplanned Greville community, where they are currently building the final 47 townhouses and Vera, the first apartment building in the precinct.

The upscaled plans will now see two 12 and 14-level buildings delivered with 232 apartments, a significant jump in both height and density from the approved eight-level buildings.

<img alt="12 Chalk Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bfa28de7-f15b-4007-a128-f040f27320b9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/12%20chalk%20st%20building.png?VersionId=qLYXo5_n7426yg_K26PKD0tGCtNvy17P" />

According to the Design Report by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ellivo-architects">Ellivo Architects</a>, the buildings will comprise a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments set above a shared two-level podium.&nbsp;

A key design consideration is the site’s transitional setting between suburban low-rise residences and the higher-density urban context emerging along the adjacent railway corridor.

“Built form is located predominantly to the west of the site to create a strong street address and to maximise solar access and natural surveillance across the park interface,” Ellivo noted in the report.&nbsp;

“The proposed built form provides a transition in scale from existing and emerging low-to-medium density development to the east, towards the established and emerging medium-to-high density residential typologies to the west.”

<img alt="12 Chalk Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="841047c6-d7e7-47a9-867a-b460f16abddf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/12%20chalk%20st%20podium.png?VersionId=fNNvnHCS0vdJMc0Q5Uku28wQwyZoG6Sq" />

Both buildings will feature communal rooftop spaces, deep balconies, and integrated landscaping. The podium will accommodate resident amenities and basement car parking. Materials and finishes include face brickwork, precast concrete, and powder-coated metal cladding, intended to reflect the character of surrounding developments while offering long-term durability.

The Design Report also outlines sustainability measures aligned with Brisbane City Council’s Buildings that Breathe principles. Passive ventilation, northern solar access, and deep soil planting zones have been prioritised throughout the design, alongside active transport facilities and EV charging readiness.

Ellivo noted that “the project has been carefully composed to engage with all edges of the site, with landscaped setbacks and podium expression used to reduce bulk and enhance interface with the existing neighbourhood context.”

Cedar Woods has been active in southeast Queensland for over a decade, with recent projects including Ariella in Ripley and Ellendale in Upper Kedron. The Greville precinct at Wooloowin has been years in the making, transforming a former school site into a new community of apartments, townhomes, and parkland.

The Chalk Street site is positioned adjacent to Wooloowin train station, providing direct access to the Brisbane CBD, and sits close to local schools, parks, and retail centres including Lutwyche and Albion.

Cedar Woods upsizes Wooloowin apartment tower plans in Greville precinct

Sydney-based Sun Property Group is looking to divest a prime residential apartment site in Melbourne's blue-chip Toorak.

They are hoping for around $15 million for the 1,774 sqm site at&nbsp;226–228 Williams Road, with three street frontages to William Road, Tashinny Road, and Gordon Street.

&nbsp;

The sale comes with a permit-approved scheme for a&nbsp;three-level building with 18 high-end apartments designed by Cera Stribley, a mix of&nbsp;10 two-bedroom apartments, four three-beds, and four penthouses.

Cushman &amp; Wakefield’s Hamish Burgess, Leon Ma, and Daniel Wolman said this is not just another development opportunity, it’s a rare convergence of scale, location, and perfect timing in the market as Melbourne’s development landscape shifts in lieu of three rate reductions so far in 2025.

<img alt="226–228 Williams Road, Toorak" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="875d85f7-ade6-4035-a181-5731e3c85253" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/226%E2%80%93228%20Williams%20Road%2C%20Toorak-%20current%20aerial.jpg?VersionId=YPtGUtFjvd6OIetFZfaYyOugMi_wOSN1" />

&nbsp;

With an existing permit in place and strong potential for further uplift under innovative new planning initiatives such as the expanded Activity Centre Program or Great Design Fast Track, the site offers a blueprint for high-end living in one of Melbourne’s most affluent enclaves.

Surrounded by elite amenities, from Hawksburn Village and Toorak Village to Como Park, Royal South Yarra Tennis Club, and Saint Haven Wellness, the location is a magnet for lifestyle-focused buyers. The success of nearby projects like Hawksburn Place by Gurner and Tintern by Prime Edition underscores the appetite for luxury apartment living in this tightly held pocket.

“We’re seeing strong interest from boutique developers and private family offices who understand the value of delivering timeless, high-end residences in blue-chip locations," Hamish Burgess of Cushman &amp; Wakefield said.

"This site ticks every box; scale, frontage, planning, and prestige.”

Sydney developer to offload $15 million Toorak apartment site

A new modular apartment tower that promises rapid delivery in its construction that would occur off site and take just nine months to build, is being planned for Woolloongabba.

The Carl Street building will span 18 levels and home 126 apartments, an upsize from a previous proposal by Brisbane Modular Manufacturing.

<img alt="First look: 18-storey modular tower for Woolloongabba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dcc8b704-5b3c-44cb-b6de-4d64c96a84ce" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/carl%20park%20perspective.png?VersionId=ig4mYSx.q_ttqOQLwEFpTKR8FTlFEAmR" />

The revised plans, prepared by architecture and design studio SheltaCo, outline 48 studio apartments, 50 two-bedroom apartments, and 28 three-bedroom apartments.

Located within the Eastern Corridor Neighbourhood Plan area, the 1,517 sqm site is zoned High Density Residential and sits adjacent to parkland to the south.&nbsp;

The build will take substantially less time because the basement car parking levels have been removed. Cars will now park in the striking three-level podium. The change enables the use of off-site prefabricated construction techniques, central to the modular strategy.&nbsp;

There will be 500 sqm of communal space, including a 250 sqm rooftop terrace with a pool and lounge areas.

&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: 18-storey modular tower for Woolloongabba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3c31ac1d-3c42-48c9-927b-980b7e0ed767" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/terrace.png?VersionId=ZI1vAUIbk04ERHH54REfoPKn1BTPbBfK" />

The Assessment Report by Blume Planning’s suggested the "accelerated timeline offers a compelling incentive for Brisbane City Council to support the proposed development,” citing the proponent’s “expertise and innovative business model” as a contributing factor in addressing Brisbane’s current housing pressures.

SheltaCo’s design seeks to balance density and amenity, with generous apartment layouts and elevated views over Carl Street Park. Site coverage at the tower level is limited to 51 per cent, allowing for landscaping and deep planting at ground level. The scheme also proposes 110 car parks, 72 secure bicycle spaces, and capacity for service vehicles.

<img alt="First look: 18-storey modular tower for Woolloongabba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="36ecf843-025b-4b5b-a986-8ccc692f4a69" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/carl%20entry.png?VersionId=7gsAhw7BN9vuDOpFKQFjivOk.WVo7Oz7" />

The site is well-serviced by public transport and lies within walking distance of the Buranda transport hub, making it a strategic location for higher-density residential infill. The proposal aligns with the zoning provisions but exceeds the mapped height limit of 12 storeys under the Buranda Residential Sub-Precinct.

Council previously approved a development on the site in 2016 for 89 apartments across 11 level with basement parking. That approval was extended in 2024 and remains valid until early 2026. The new proposal seeks to supersede that scheme while retaining the site’s residential focus.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/subiaco-wa-6008">Subiaco</a>’s Hay Street corridor serves as a key link between Perth’s CBD and the western suburbs, offering seamless access to city amenities while retaining the intimacy of a residential precinct.&nbsp;

At the junction with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/olive-st-263-hay-street-subiaco-wa-6008">Olive St</a>, this connectivity is reinforced by Subiaco Station and high-frequency bus routes, making commuting and weekend outings effortless.

Here, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/devwest">Devwest</a>’s new apartment development Olive St is entering its final phase of construction, offering a rare opportunity to secure a home in one of Perth’s most complete lifestyle suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106968 project_image_fid=3036]

Positioned in a leafy and character-filled pocket on the less-developed eastern side of Subiaco, Olive St stands out as one of the few apartment developments in this part of the suburb. Its quieter residential setting balances the density west of Rokeby Road, while the corner location on Hay Street places residents within walking distance of local favourites such as Found. Subiaco, Lums Wine Bar, and Hangout on Hay. Together with the celebrated Rokeby Road retail strip, these venues give residents an immediate connection to the cafés, restaurants, and bars that define the Subiaco lifestyle.

Cultural destinations including the Subiaco Arts Centre, Regal Theatre, and Subiaco Library reinforce the area’s reputation as a hub for entertainment and the arts.&nbsp;For outdoor recreation, residents have easy access to the manicured grounds of Market Square and Bob Hawke Oval, while Kings Park and Lake Monger Reserve offer expansive green space just beyond the suburb’s edges.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106968 project_image_fid=3031]

A diverse educational landscape underpins the suburb’s long-standing appeal for families and professionals, with institutions such as Subiaco Primary School, Perth Modern School, and Bob Hawke College located nearby. Health services including St John of God Subiaco Hospital further support everyday convenience and peace of mind.

With construction nearing completion this September, Olive St will soon deliver 71 new residences to Subiaco. One bedroom apartments are fully sold, with only a limited selection of two and three bedroom residences remaining, priced from $877,000.

Buyers who secure an apartment before the construction period ends may still be eligible for the WA Stamp Duty Concession, offering savings of up to $50,000.

Chatsworth House, one of Victoria's grandest Western District's properties, has been listed for sale.

It's set to be traded for the first time in 25 years, having not sold when listed three years ago.

The price guide is $22.5 million to $25 million <a href="https://property.cbre.com.au/properties/chatsworth-vic-3379/" target="_blank">through CBRE.</a>

It is named after the grand home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, in Derbyshire.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29915]

The historic property dates back to the late 1850s when it was erected for pioneer pastoralist John Moffat

Historian Margaret Kiddle records her book Men of Yesterday, the social history of the famous pastoral district of Western Australia from 1834 to 1890, that Moffat began life in the Port Phillip district in 1839 as a shepherd employed by the Clyde Company.

His rise in fortune, on the back of a Merino stud, is well demonstrated by the expenditure of £20,000 on the house, outbuildings and landscaping. 

He entertained Prince Alfred at Chatsworth in 1867.  

Prominent Hamilton architect James Henry Fox, who also created the iconic Werribee Park mansion, design the conservative classic style house with Doric portico and encircling verandah.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2015/10/26/chat4.jpg">

The 1,200 sqm, single-storey Victorian bluestone mansion features a grand entrance hall with Roman Corinthian style columns, gilded ornate cornices, over door entablatures and original multi-paned skylights.

The six bedroom home also has a drawing room, billiards room, ornate formal dining room, office, and private library. All feature marble open fire places.

On the 2,400 hectare property sits a bluestone Baronial hall with commercial kitchen and refurbished accomodation, as well as fully renovated bluestone stables and coach houses.

There are two manager's residences and four country style cottages.

One of the substantial bluestone building now known as the Longroom was once the mens’ quarters on the original Cobb &amp; Co route and the stables that run parallel to them have been well maintained and were completed in 1867.

The complex also originally included a school and church.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2015/10/26/chat22.jpg">

The kindergarten that rests opposite the Longroom today was relocated to Chatsworth House farm by the Jones family in 2008 to save the building from demolition.

The Longroom was renovated by the current owners in 2002 and then completed in 2006, when the remaining quarters at the western end of the building were converted to accommodation.

Chatsworth has been described as one of the most versatile property holdings in the district.

The gently rolling fertile grey and red sand loam soils has seen canola, red and white wheat, barley and oats all grow with success. It's fattened livestock, held ewes and produced lambs.

It currently holds 12,000 composite ewes which annually produce around 15,000 lambs.

There's an 11 stand woolshed, experts room, and full shearers facilities with stagg kitchen.

Up to 300 steers are grazed twice annually on the property, and pasture set aside for hay and silage.

The property has two dams and paddocks with access to the permanent Hopkins River and Churrup Creek.

Chatsworth Prime has become a brand of choice for prime lamb retailers on the east coast of Australia.

The gardens surrounding the substantial home were laid out by noted garden designer Edward La Trobe Bateman in the late 1860s. They then comprised of more than 5,000 plants and shrubs.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2015/10/26/chat3.jpg">

Bateman, a cousin of Charles Joseph La Trobe, the superintendent of the colony, was one of Victoria's first garden designers.

He earned praise from botanists von Mueller and Harvey, who were famous for developing Melbourne's Botanical Gardens. CHECK FULL NAMES

Bateman was excelled as an illustrator and artist, however turned to garden design as a more likely way of earning a living.

He was commissioned on a three year contract to create the extensive gardens at Chatsworth, but paralysed his right arm in a buggy accident while doing so.

The gardens with cascading symmetrical hedge lined rose gardens now includes a solar heated swimming pool.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2015/10/26/chat6.jpg">

The garden is entered through a planting of Monterey Pines and is laid out within a perimeter planting of mainly conifers. A feature of the garden is a curved cypress hedge which encloses the garden on the east side. 

Another curved planting of pines, cypress cedars and carobs, once surrounding a church, occurs west of the drive, to the farm buildings.

An unusual landscape feature is the raised banks used for tree planting. The planting makes extensive use of conifers , - pines, cypress and cedars – oaks and figs, blue gums and remnant river red gums as specimen trees and in stands to create a ‘picturesque’ arrangement of trees in a parkland setting.

A feature of the garden around three sides of the house is the impressive bluestone steps and sloping retaining wall capped by a cast iron rail. 

The planting features old camellias and several large dramatic English box (Buxus sempervirens) ‘balls’ and hedges. 

The new parterre garden is planted on the site of a former tennis court. The garden is maintained by Colin Langley of CY Landscaping based in Camperdown.

Nangunia Station, a mixed farming operation in the southern Riverina region of NSW, has been listed with $5.5 million hopes through Elders Deniliquin agent Matt Horne.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-mixed+farming-nsw-berrigan-7982506" target="_blank">homestead was built for Emmanuel Gorman</a>, who arrived in Berrigan in 1888 as a stock and station agent who sent onto be the first president of Berrigan Shire Council.

Nangunia Station, NSW southern Riverina homestead listed

<html><body>
The birthplace of the modern Australian merino sheep is for sale, with the Wanganella, Peppin­ella and Boonoke sheep stations in southern NSW being offered at $330 million.
It is a Riverina pastoral ­empire that dates back to the 1880s under the FSF Falkiner group stewardship.
Confirmation came in The Australian that it has been quietly put on the market by its five owners lead by stockbroker Colin Bell.
The $330 million price secures a portfolio of 18 farms covering 226,000ha centred around ­Deniliquin, Hay and Coonamble 
Bell said ­Chinese companies were among prospective buyers.
He said the holdings were being sold because all its five part-owners — Bell and his two brothers Andrew and Lewis Bell from the Bell Financial group, Bell managing director Alastair Provan and US hedge fund manager Ray Dalio — were older than 70.
“We are selling all of the company or a share of it, but the properties will not be split up and sold separately,” Bell said.
“We are being selective about who we approach — they have to be high-value individuals or companies both here or overseas with an interest in Australian agriculture — and what we are selling here is a profitable business, not just individual farms.”
AFA released its financial results last week, showing the group had sales of $55m in 2015-16 and recorded a pre-tax profit of $25m.
Mr Bell said the group as a whole produced wool, cattle, sheep, stud rams, cotton, rice, cereal and pulse crops.
The paper reported it includes 11,000ha of high-value ­irrigated land used for rice and cotton, 60,000 megalitres of water entitlements from the Murrumbidgee and Murray river systems, 100,000 merino wool sheep and the homestead on Boonoke.
There is a covenant that stops the historic Wanganella and Boonoke sheep stations being sold separately or their sheep studs being ­dispersed.
Bell said it would take more than 50 years to put ­together a conglomerate of such quality as AFA’s holdings, with the combined business offering economies that have seen it make a profit 13 years out of the past 16.
“This is so different from Kidman with just its cattle,” Mr Bell said. “We don’t have to sell, and we are in no rush to sell; we will only be selling it as a (combined) business — these are all scale and ­trophy properties.”
