The Bonney Place Medical Centre on Junction Road, Clayfield, has been sold for $8 million, following an intense round of investor interest that highlights the strength of Brisbane’s healthcare property market.
The high-profile site, occupying 829 square metres, achieved a 5.68 per cent yield, marking one of the tightest medical property results in 2025. The complex is anchored by the long-established Junction Road Family Practice, which has operated since the centre’s construction and now has 11 doctors. The facility also houses QML Pathology and a complementary mix of allied health, retail, and office tenants.

Sales information shows the listing generated 259 enquiries and attracted six registered bidders. Interest came from both private investors and medical practitioners across Australia, reflecting the ongoing demand for healthcare-backed assets in well-established suburbs.
Clayfield, about seven kilometres north of the Brisbane CBD, is known for its accessibility and strong suburban character. Its established residential base and convenient location continue to support demand for local healthcare services.
Located along Junction Road, the centre benefits from strong visibility and accessibility within Clayfield. The mix of tenants and the established GP anchor contribute to the property’s appeal, offering investors long-term stability and steady returns.

The transaction was handled by Ray White Retail Queensland agents Lachlan O’Keeffe and Michael Feltoe, who have achieved several successful healthcare sales across the state. Their team noted that the Clayfield sale represents one of the tightest medical yields achieved this year and reflects continued investor confidence in essential-service real estate.
The sale adds to Ray White Retail’s recent record of strong outcomes in the healthcare investment market. With investors continuing to seek defensive assets backed by reliable tenants, healthcare-anchored properties like Bonney Place Medical Centre remain among the most competitive on the market.
For Clayfield, the result reinforces the suburb’s appeal as a location combining accessibility, established infrastructure, and essential community services. While ownership has changed, Bonney Place Medical Centre continues to serve as a key local healthcare facility.
St Rita’s College in Clayfield is home to one of the city’s outstanding and heritage-listed buildings, Stanley Hall.
The building was constructed around 1885 as the home of John William Forth, one of Brisbane’s most successful produce dealer back in those days. However, Mr Forth wasn’t able to fully enjoy his home as he died on the day of his house-warming party.
The home was originally built as a single-storey house, but later on, renovation took place giving it an additional storey by the next owner, Herbert Hunter. Adding a second storey to the home benefitted Mr Hunter as he is a fan of horse racing and the second level of the home allowed him to view the races at the Eagle Farm racecourse.
The next owner was Edward Blume, a socialite who had the opportunity to entertain the Prince of Wales at his home during the early 1920s. The house was sold in 1926 to the Presentation Sisters. In 1930, the home was featured in The Queenslander as part of its “Brisbane’s Historic Home” series.
The Presentation Sisters converted the home into a boarding school and secondary school for girls in 1926. The most recent renovation took place in 2009 when it was converted into an administration centre with a heritage room devoted to the history of the Sisters and the College.
It became a part of the Queensland’s Heritage Register for surviving as a substantially intact grand resident of the late 1880s. It also was home to two Queensland pastoralists for over 35 years.
Queensland Police have charged a 21-year-old Clayfield man and a 51-year-old Clayfield woman following an incident in the early hours of 13 October.
According to police, a vehicle parked on Park Avenue was broken into around 2.15am, with a substantial quantity of tools taken from inside.
The break came when the vehicle’s owner reportedly discovered their tools being advertised on an online marketplace and alerted authorities.
Police executed a search warrant at a Clayfield address, leading to the arrest of both individuals.
The younger man faces charges of entering premises and committing an indictable offence, as well as fraud. He is scheduled to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on 6 November.
The woman faces multiple charges including entering premises and committing an indictable offence, receiving tainted property, fraud, possessing dangerous drugs and possessing drug utensils. Her court appearance is set for 13 November.
Protecting Your Tools
The incident has prompted police to remind tradies and tool owners about crime prevention measures.
Authorities recommend removing valuable tools from vehicles whenever possible, or at minimum, keeping them secured in fixed lockboxes that are clearly visible to deter opportunistic thieves.
Police suggest marking tools with identifying details such as names or licence numbers, which makes reselling stolen goods more difficult and helps officers return recovered items to their rightful owners. Photographing tools and recording make and model information is also advised.
Vehicle security remains crucial. Police urge residents to always lock their vehicles and ensure all windows, including sunroofs, are secured when unattended. Parking in well-lit areas or locations with CCTV coverage is recommended, preferably off the street.
For those storing high-value equipment, police suggest considering anti-theft alarm systems for toolboxes and storage areas, installing CCTV monitoring, or placing tracking devices in valuable items.
Community members are encouraged to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity, particularly people loitering around construction sites or parked vehicles.
For families in Clayfield, the sky isn’t just a view; it’s an invitation. Aviation High’s Aerospace Experience Day is drawing crowds once again, giving locals a rare chance to see, hear, and feel what it’s like to be part of Queensland’s thriving aviation and space industry.
The free community event, hosted at the school’s Widdop Street campus, celebrates hands-on learning and the spirit of flight that has long defined the area.
Event Details
The Aerospace Experience Day will take place on Saturday, 11 October, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Aviation High School in Clayfield. This free family event has grown into a yearly tradition that connects students, parents and aviation professionals. Visitors can expect interactive displays, rocket launches, flight simulators and even helicopter landings on the school oval, weather and operations permitting.

A Community with Its Eyes on the Sky
Aviation High has established a strong reputation as one of Australia’s few schools specializing in aviation and aerospace studies. The annual event serves as a bridge between the classroom and the cockpit, providing families with insight into future careers in engineering, piloting, licensed maintenance, and emerging fields such as drones and hypersonics.
Representatives from major organisations — including Qantas, Airbus, Airservices Australia, UQSpace, Northrop Grumman and Toll Aviation — will be on hand to answer questions about what it takes to work among the clouds.
Teachers say the goal is simple: inspire the next generation. Each year, students showcase their skills through model aircraft projects, flight simulations and space demonstrations. Parents, in turn, get to see firsthand how the school’s curriculum connects theory to the real-world aerospace sector.
The event’s interactive nature makes it both educational and fun, especially for younger children who can build rockets, make paper planes, and explore virtual reality simulators.
Engaging Families Beyond the Classroom
Beyond the technical side, the day also embraces the warmth of community life. Families can enjoy food stalls, local vendors and family-friendly attractions. Free parking on-site makes it easy for locals to drop in, spend the day and connect with others who share a fascination with flight. Door prizes sponsored by GoFly Aviation add an extra touch of excitement.
The Aerospace Experience Day aims to foster curiosity, collaboration, and confidence among young Queenslanders. It’s also a reminder that the neighbourhood’s strong link to aviation history is still alive and soaring.

Reality television personality Ryan Gallagher has purchased a two-bedroom unit in Clayfield for $500,000, marking his entry into Brisbane’s property investment scene.
The 36-year-old, known for appearances on Married At First Sight, I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, and The Challenge Australia, acquired the property in one of the suburb’s sought-after streets several months after ending his engagement to Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm earlier this year.

Currently renting in nearby Ascot, Gallagher told reporters he plans to undertake extensive renovations on the investment property himself, drawing on his building trade background. The unit is presently tenanted, with the same resident having occupied it for 15 years.

According to PropTrack data cited in the original property report, Clayfield’s median unit price sits at $710,000, representing growth of almost 20 per cent over the past 12 months. Gallagher indicated the property has already been valued at $180,000 above his purchase price.

The former reality contestant said he has been closely monitoring South East Queensland’s property market, particularly with an eye on opportunities linked to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The State Government’s 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Taskforce has estimated the Games could create around 130,000 direct jobs, including 10,000 in the year of the Games itself, while Westpac has forecast the event could produce at least $17 billion of economic and social benefits for Australia, with around $8 billion flowing into Queensland.
Between hosting and comedy performances, Gallagher revealed he is preparing for another reality television project, though he declined to share specifics when speaking at the launch of a production studio in Coorparoo on Sunday.
Gallagher and Seebohm, who share a two-year-old son named Sampson, met while filming The Challenge Australia. The pair became engaged in December 2022 at a property near Goulburn, New South Wales, where Gallagher grew up. According to property records mentioned in the source material, Seebohm owns a four-bedroom house in nearby Hendra, purchased eight years ago for $1.375 million.

Clayfield continues to attract investor interest as part of Brisbane’s inner-northern suburbs, benefiting from proximity to the CBD, established infrastructure, and anticipated development associated with the upcoming Olympic Games.
Two Clayfield-based swim organisations are participating in a statewide program designed to improve early childhood water safety through subsidised swimming lessons.
The SwimStart program opened its third round on 28 July 2025, offering Queensland families vouchers of up to $150 to support swimming lessons for children aged zero to four. The initiative aims to reduce the financial burden on parents while promoting physical activity and safety skills from an early age.
Eligible applicants must be Queensland residents and can redeem one voucher per child within a financial year. Vouchers can be used with registered SwimStart providers and are valid until 19 June 2026. Applications close on 12 June 2026, with final provider redemptions accepted until 26 June 2026.
In Clayfield, two swim organisations are listed as SwimStart activity providers. Eagle Junction State School, located at 49 Roseby Avenue, hosts the Eagle Junction Swim Club, which welcomes children from the age of four and encourages personal bests through semi-competitive activities and seasonal championships.
At 49 Queens Road, the Belinda Cadzow Swim School Pty Ltd has offered structured swimming programs for children aged 2 to 12 for over 25 years. The school is known for its focus on private lessons and small class sizes, particularly at beginner levels.
Redeeming SwimStart Vouchers
To access the funding, parents and guardians must register for an Enquire account, which is required for voucher applications. Vouchers must be presented to approved providers at registration. If activity fees exceed the $150 voucher amount, families are required to cover the balance.
Before using the voucher, parents are advised to check whether their chosen provider is listed on the SwimStart directory. If not, they may contact the provider to confirm future participation.
Swimming continues to be one of Queensland’s most popular sports for children. The initiative supports both access and affordability, especially in areas such as Clayfield where swim schools play an active role in youth development.
With the program now active, eligible families in Clayfield have the opportunity to enrol their children in structured swimming lessons that prioritise water safety and skill-building.

Alongside Ceberano’s highly anticipated set, the afternoon will feature performances by the Clayfield Big Band and Chloe Noon, a talented vocalist and member of the graduating Class of 2024. Audiences can also look forward to the bold and brassy sounds of the Brisbane City Big Band, adding to the festival-style feel of the event.
Known for her genre-spanning career and dynamic stage presence, Ceberano is expected to deliver a performance that blends soul, pop, and jazz — including hits from her decades-long catalogue. With multiple ARIA Awards and countless albums to her name, her headline act is set to be a major drawcard for the Clayfield community and beyond.
In addition to the stellar entertainment, guests will be treated to a wide range of food and beverage options available throughout the afternoon, making it an ideal outing for all ages.
Guests can enjoy favourites such as Briz Wood Fired Pizza, Sate House, SoCal Tacos, and the ever-popular House of Poffertjes. There will also be a CCOCA Cheese Box stall, a variety of beverages from the P&F bars including champagne and general drinks, along with offerings from the Aether Beer Bar and New Tricks Gin Distillery Bar.
For those after a caffeine fix, a coffee van will be on site. Guests are also welcome to bring their own picnic if they prefer a more personal spread.
With the lush school grounds transformed into a relaxed picnic-style venue, the atmosphere will be casual and family-friendly — perfect for an afternoon under the winter sun.
Whether you’re a long-time Clayfield supporter or a first-time visitor, On the Green 2025 offers a unique chance to enjoy top-tier live music in a welcoming and vibrant community setting. Organisers encourage guests to check Clayfield College’s website for updates, and most importantly, to bring along friends, family, and neighbours for what is shaping up to be the event’s biggest year yet.
Enderley Road in Clayfield stands as a testament to Brisbane’s most exclusive residential enclaves, where community stability meets premium real estate. Historical records from 1936 show the street already established, though with fewer properties than the current 30 residences that line this prestigious address today.
With an exceptional 95% of properties being owner-occupied and residents staying an average of 18 years and 4 months, Enderley Road demonstrates extraordinary commitment to long-term homeownership. This dedication to the area is further highlighted by the remarkable fact that 80% of residents have called Enderley Road home for more than a decade. The street’s property transaction history reveals the dramatic transformation of Clayfield’s luxury market, with 6 Enderley Road selling for $480,000 in January 1995 – a stark contrast to today’s multi-million dollar sales that reflect the area’s evolution into one of Brisbane’s premier addresses.

A historic worker’s cottage in Clayfield is heading to auction on 13 May, with its current owners appealing for information to solve the mystery behind its origins.
Heritage Uncertainty at Centre of Clayfield Auction
A historic Clayfield residence, known as Camden House, has drawn attention not only for its architectural preservation but for the mystery surrounding its origins. The five-bedroom home at 34 Crombie Street is one of Brisbane’s oldest surviving worker’s cottages, yet little is known about who built it or its early ownership.

Background and Restoration Efforts
Believed to date back to the late 1800s, the property was purchased in 2017 by David Notley and Amanda Neill for $1.27 million. The couple retained the original name plaque, Camden House, but efforts to trace the home’s early history proved unsuccessful. Despite the presence of multiple locations named Camden across Brisbane, no conclusive link has been established to this property.
The house had already undergone restoration prior to their purchase. Since then, the couple has added contemporary touches including a formal hedge-lined frontage, updated fixtures, and an outdoor cabana beside the lap pool.

Distinctive Features and Auction Details
Camden House retains a number of period-specific details including 3.2-metre ceilings, vertical joint (VJ) walls, ornate breezeways, and original timber flooring. It features a gabled roof, wrought iron entry, and expansive verandahs.
The two-level home includes multiple living areas, a skylit kitchen with a servery window, and a rear entertainer’s deck fitted with a wet bar, ceiling fan, and heating strips. The downstairs area opens to a landscaped garden and an elevated solar-heated lap pool accompanied by a private cabana.
Additional amenities include five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a double garage with extra storage, and secure parking for two more vehicles. The home sits on a 556-square-metre block and is located within the Ascot State School catchment area.

Camden House is scheduled to go under the hammer on 13 May, listed through Patrick McKinnon and Drew Davies of Place Ascot.
The owners are calling on the public to share any information that might help piece together the property’s past before the auction date. While the house has become a refined modern residence, the lack of documentation about its origins has left a significant gap in the local historical record.
