This totals an estimated 206 homes. In FY26 so far, 42 approvals have been recorded. Each home built led to an average of 3.6 new residents per year between FY21 and FY25.

Compared to Greater Brisbane, Greenslopes records about three-quarters the building activity per person. Nationally, it places among the 81st percentile of areas assessed.

However, recent periods show increased development activity. New developments consist of 8.0% standalone homes and 92.0% attached dwellings, marking a significant shift from existing housing patterns (currently 42.0% houses). This focus on higher-density living creates more affordable entry points for downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers. With around 135 people per dwelling approval, Greenslopes shows characteristics of a growth area. Future projections estimate an addition of 3,828 residents by 2041. If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing buyer competition and supporting stronger price growth.
