A corner property on Goodfellows Road in Kallangur could eventually accommodate 144 apartments, with plans for two seven-storey buildings marking a substantial change in the scale of development at the site.
The 3,521-square-metre property, comprising 1 and 7 Goodfellows Road at the intersection with School Road, received development approval in August. Intended for community housing, the project brings a different form of residential accommodation to a part of Kallangur more commonly associated with lower-density development.
The development also reflects two issues facing growing suburbs across Moreton Bay: demand for rental accommodation and the introduction of larger residential buildings into established neighbourhoods.
Apartments for a Range of Households
The development includes plans for studios alongside one, two and three-bedroom apartments, providing a mix of dwelling sizes within the same complex.
Bric Housing has been identified as the intended owner and manager, with local workers, older women, veterans, single parents, couples and small families among the groups previously identified in connection with the project. The organisation has also outlined plans for on-site services as part of its community housing approach.
Community housing differs from conventional private rentals because it is delivered through housing organisations under programmes designed to assist eligible households. Depending on the programme, accommodation may be offered as social or affordable housing, with different eligibility and rental arrangements.
The Goodfellows Road project forms part of a wider discussion about rental supply across the region. Queensland’s social housing register recorded 24,454 active households, representing 41,995 people, at the end of August 2026. Although those figures cover the state rather than Kallangur specifically, they illustrate the broader demand for housing assistance.

Seven Storeys on Goodfellows Road
The two buildings would occupy a site measuring little more than one-third of a hectare, introducing a considerably higher concentration of homes than would ordinarily be found on a suburban residential block.
Earlier development plans included parking, landscaping and access arrangements, with accompanying technical assessments addressing traffic, noise and waste management. These matters form part of the council’s consideration of how larger residential developments interact with surrounding streets and properties.
Bric Housing has previously highlighted the site’s proximity to local amenities, referring to services within approximately 400 metres. The relationship between housing, transport and everyday destinations is particularly relevant in developments where residents may have different travel and mobility requirements.
The detailed approved plans, site access arrangements and development conditions can be viewed through City of Moreton Bay’s development application record for DA/2026/2546.

The Next Chapter for Goodfellows Road
City of Moreton Bay granted approval for the 144-dwelling development on 5 August 2026, following an application lodged in May by 1 Goodfellows Road Kallangur Pty Ltd.
The decision notice, dated 6 August, confirms a material change of use permit subject to conditions. Bric Housing has been identified as the organisation expected to own and manage the accommodation, rather than the development applicant.
The approval establishes permission for the proposed residential use, although it does not, by itself, indicate when construction will commence.
For now, Goodfellows Road remains an approved development awaiting its next visible stage. The council’s application record provides the formal reference point for the plans and conditions, while the timing of construction and eventual occupation will become clearer as the project progresses.
