South Brisbane is an inner city suburb of Brisbane located on the southern bank of the Brisbane River, directly connected to the central business district by the Kurilpa, Victoria and Goodwill bridges.

Modern public transport services include suburban train stations at South Brisbane and South Bank and South East Busway stations at Cultural Centre, South Bank, and Mater Hill. CityCat ferry services link South Brisbane to other riverside suburbs.

Its population is estimated at 4,800.

The South Brisbane precinct is earmarked as an urban renewal area under the South Brisbane Riverside Plan and the suburb will continue to see both residential and commercial building flourish.

The area has rapid growth over the last decade and will continue to do so as demand for inner city living continues. The Brisbane City Council has also established the River City Blueprint, to ensure the correct infrastructure and town planning is put in place to meet the demand for the inner city

The rejuvenation of the South Bank parklands, coupled with the increasing profile of neighbouring West End, is attracting an increasing number of visitors and residents to the area and is thus pushing both rents and capital growth higher.

Also located in the suburb of South Brisbane are the Mater Hospital, the State Library, and the Queensland College of TAFE and Hospitality. Schools in South Brisbane are Brisbane State High School, Somerville House and St Laurence’s College. This type of infrastructure helps create a suburb that is in demand for any type of tenant profile ensuring you are maximising your rental returns.

Furthermore, South Brisbane also represents the central hub for arts activity in Brisbane, housing the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Maritime Museum, Queensland Art Gallery, Gallery of Modern Art, and the Queensland Museum.
