The Kangaroo Point Peninsula is a slender strip of land, 1.3 kilometres long and defined by the bend of the Brisbane River. It is shaped by water and cliff, with a central vehicular spine cutting it in two. The peninsula’s irregularly patterned urban landscape connects to Brisbane’s CBD by the Story Bridge, an iconic and historic piece of the city’s infrastructure.

Shaping the future of this key piece of the city is the draft Kangaroo Point Peninsula Neighbourhood Plan. It anticipates that more than four thousand new inhabitants (an additional 50 percent) will move into the area in the next twenty to twenty-five years, and that these new residents will largely prioritize an urban lifestyle and choose contemporary apartments as their home.
