What the numbers say about Red Hill

Across 8 decided dual-occupancy and duplex applications on Red Hill properties, 8 were approved — an approval rate of 100%. That reflects a strong track record for this kind of proposal. These are real, decided applications assessed by the Brisbane council, not estimates or modelling.

That is a fairly typical assessment timeframe for South East Queensland.

About this data

These statistics summarise decided development applications recorded against Red Hill properties in Brisbane council records, current as of 26 July 2026. Past decisions describe how comparable proposals have fared — they do not guarantee, and cannot predict, the outcome of any future application. Council assesses every application on its merits against the planning scheme that applies at the time. This page is general information, not planning or legal advice: what is achievable on a specific site depends on its zoning, overlays, lot dimensions and assessment pathway.
