Rooftop airspace development in Brisbane
Brisbane's subtropical climate makes rooftop living genuinely desirable year-round, and Body Corporate sinking funds facing major remediation are increasingly using airspace to fund it.

- Median airspace sale value
- 8–12 weeks
- Typical approval window
- West End

Planning & strata pathway
Queensland projects run under the Planning Act 2016 and the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997. Rooftop additions are usually a code or impact assessable development application to Brisbane City Council, with a Community Management Statement amendment recorded on completion.
We prepare the structural feasibility scan, the owners corporation briefing pack and the certification documentation, then coordinate the fabrication and crane program so on-site works stay within days.

Committees, engineers and managers.
“The airspace sale paid for our facade remediation and a new lift. Nine years of special levy arguments solved in one resolution.”
Marion Webb
Chair, Owners Corporation — Harris Street, Pyrmont
“I signed off the structural scope in a fortnight. The chassis loads were well within what the existing frame could carry with minor strengthening.”
Daniel Okafor
Chartered Structural Engineer, CPEng
“Residents expected a year of scaffolding. The module landed on a Saturday morning and was watertight by lunchtime.”
