A revised development application for a high-rise residential tower at 51 Darragh Street, Kangaroo Point has received approval from Brisbane City Council. The approved scheme increases the previously endorsed 15 storeys to 22 storeys and delivers 65 three and four bedroom apartments in place of the original 49.
Developed by Su Ing Pty Ltd and designed by Peddle Thorp, the approved changes retain the original tower footprint, setbacks and much of the previously approved bulk and scale. The increase in height was the primary amendment sought, aimed at better aligning the project with the surrounding built form in the Dockside Precinct.
The development sits on a 2,788 square metre site within the Kangaroo Point Peninsula Neighbourhood Plan area and continues to accommodate a mix of residential and recreational uses. The proposal also seeks to improve the public realm, with pedestrian connections integrated into the layout.
According to the architectural plans, the tower has been oriented to maximise views toward the river and city, while preserving existing sight lines for surrounding buildings. More than 70 percent of the site is allocated to recreation and landscape areas, retaining and upgrading long-standing Dockside Precinct amenities.
These include two tennis courts (one open air and one covered), a 25 metre lap pool, and a shaded lawn for informal recreation. The recreational areas are designed to be available to both residents and the broader Dockside community. A public café with outdoor seating is located near the main entry, along with an outdoor gym and terrace seating.
