Proposed development has Australia's largest offering of communal space

A proposed 30-storey tower at South Brisbane is set to deliver the largest communal space for a development of its size in Australia with plans for a running track, dog park, car share scheme and wine bar.

Aria Property Group has lodged a development application to the Brisbane City Council proposing the residential tower at 13-17 Manning Street, at the end of Fish Lane.

The tower would include 261 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses as well as 314 carparks spread over three levels of basement parking and five levels of podium parking.

The podium was proposed to be screened by Australia’s largest living green wall, which would include more than 150 oversized terracotta pots.

Aria development director Michael Hurley said the company had worked tirelessly over the past four years to turn Fish Lane into a premier food and beverage precinct of Brisbane.

“We believe this site provides the missing link at the end of the laneway that will tie Fish Lane together,” Mr Hurley said.

Since 2014, Aria has worked to redevelop the previously disused lane.

An application from Aria for a 33-storey tower, with a water running down its side, facing hope Street and Fish Lane is currently under assessment by the council.

This latest application proposed the highest ratio of communal recreation space per unit in the country with 2800 square metres of space across the ground, podium and rooftop levels.

A statement from Aria said that equalled 10.7 square metres per residential unit, which was four to five times the recreation space per unit of comparable projects.

Facilities on the podium would include a fitness centre, cinema room, sauna and wellness centre.

The proposed recreation level was designed to “cater to the next generation of apartment dwellers” and included a children’s landscaped play zone, dog off-leash area and 200-metre running track.

The rooftop area has a 25-metre infinity-edge pool, wine bar, outdoor dining area and sun lounges proposed.

The assessment report, submitted to the council as part of the application process, also outlined plans for a car hire scheme.

“Two Tesla electric cars will be held in body corporate ownership for booking and use by any residents who wish to utilise the scheme,” the statement said.

“In addition, three car hire vehicles (to be maintained and managed by a third-party operator) will be made available to the residents, guests, retail patrons and the general public travelling to and from the site or to surrounding areas.”

The council approved its first council-enforced requirement for a car-sharing scheme for residents of a student-accommodation block in Toowong in May.

The council will now assess Aria’s proposal.

As the application was considered code assessable, there would be no required public notification period.
