Housing

Brisbane’s inner city is one of only a few places in the world where there is an industry in literally moving houses. This is because the traditional ‘Queenslander’, as it is called, is made of weatherboard, squats on stumps, and can be lifted intact onto the back of an articulated lorry and carted to its next location.

Many suburban high streets have too much retail space and are often dominated by bookmakers or fast food vendors. And then there are those beautifully hoarded active frontages on new developments which will never attract a commercial occupier.
