Read: Construction Starts on New Vera Apartments in Wooloowin Community

The six-storey, 58-apartment building is 95 per cent sold and on track for completion in late 2026, with Brisbane-based builder Emacen Projects expecting residents to move in before Christmas. Designed by Rothelowman Architects, Vera sits within a 3.5-hectare precinct that has been steadily taking shape since Cedar Woods acquired the former Holy Cross Laundry site from the Sisters of Mercy following a five-year negotiated sale completed in 2020.

For Cedar Woods, the topping out is more than a construction milestone. The milestone signals the Perth-founded developer’s first apartment project to reach structural completion in Queensland, and the beginning of what its leadership describes as a long-term commitment to the state’s south-east.

A Precinct Built on Layers of History

The Greville site carries considerable historical weight. The Holy Cross Laundry was built from 1888 to 1905 to a design by former Queensland Colonial Architect Francis Drummond Greville Stanley, and added to the Queensland Heritage Register in October 1992. Originally constructed as an auxiliary wing to the Holy Cross Retreat, the institution provided protection for unmarried mothers, destitute women and intellectually disabled persons, regardless of creed. By the 1920s, the laundry had grown to become one of the largest commercial laundries in Brisbane.

Cedar Woods named the precinct Greville in direct acknowledgement of that history, honouring the architect whose initials, FDG Stanley, carry the same Greville name. Seven heritage residences within the former laundry building form part of the broader masterplan, repurposing the Heritage-listed laundry into homes that celebrate its 19th-century character.

Vera itself is the first of three apartment buildings planned for the precinct. The broader Greville development will ultimately deliver 84 townhouses, more than 200 apartments across three buildings and the seven heritage homes within the laundry building. The first two townhouse stages have been completed, with the final townhouse stage under construction.

What Vera Offers Residents

Vera’s 58 apartments span one, two and three-bedroom configurations, with floorplans offering between 78sqm of internal living space and 122sqm total area, with some residences offering views across the 4,000-square-metre Greville Park and others looking toward the city skyline. Rooftop communal amenities include a pool, barbecue and dining areas, an outdoor lounge and a firepit.

Residents also have access to the broader Greville community amenities already in place, including a recreation area with a pool, alfresco dining and the parkland, which has been open since 2023. The address puts future residents 400 metres from Wooloowin train station and a kilometre from the Northern Busway at Lutwyche, with the Northern Bikeway extension at the doorstep.

Cedar Woods Chief Operating Officer Patrick Archer said the milestone highlights the company’s growing commitment to southeast Queensland.

“The topping out of our first Queensland apartment building sets a strong foundation for our future southeast Queensland apartment plans,” Mr Archer said.

“This includes two additional buildings at Greville and our planned Robina development on the Gold Coast, which will comprise a mix of apartments and townhomes, located adjacent to Robina Town Centre.

“Vera apartments have been purchased by a broad range of buyers including first home buyers, downsizers and upgraders, which speaks to the appeal of the one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment formats.”

“Brisbane builder, Emacen Projects, is on track to complete construction in late 2026, and we’re expecting to welcome residents before Christmas.”

Cedar Woods’ National Footprint

Cedar Woods was established in Perth in 1987 and listed on the ASX in 1994. The developer carries a national portfolio spanning residential, commercial and mixed-use projects, and its entry into the Queensland market via Greville represents its most ambitious east-coast commitment to date. Beyond Greville, Cedar Woods’ Brisbane portfolio includes Ellendale in Upper Kedron and Sage in Burpengary.

The Greville precinct is expected to be completed over approximately four years. Remaining apartments in Vera are priced from $874,000. For more information, visit cedarwoods.com.au or the Greville community website at 12 Chalk Street, Wooloowin.

Austin, who officially retires this year after more than four decades in the profession, will see her legacy honoured permanently with the Wooloowin State School library renamed “The Austin Library” in recognition of her contribution to the school and its community. She is one of two recipients of the 2025 award, sharing the honour with Lizzy Dixon from Moorooka State School.

The Queensland School Library Association presents the Teacher Librarian of the Year award annually to recognise exceptional dedication to creating dynamic learning spaces, collaborating across school communities and fostering a lifelong love of reading and inquiry. Austin’s career, spanning 42 years since she first became a Teacher Librarian in 1983 and 26 years at Wooloowin State School in the inner north suburb bordered by Kedron, Lutwyche and Clayfield, has been marked by her commitment to creating a vibrant and welcoming library space that extends far beyond the walls of the school.

Building Community Through Books

Austin describes championing reading and books not only to students at her school but also to the wider school community as what gives her the most enjoyment in the role. One of her signature initiatives at Wooloowin State School is “One School, One Book, One Community”, a program that has run for the past three years and brings entire families together to read the same book. The program concludes with an evening event led by the school’s Parents and Citizens association, featuring a presentation from the book’s author. This kind of community-focused programming reflects Austin’s belief that literacy is not just a classroom responsibility but a shared endeavour that thrives when families are actively engaged.

For parents wondering how to encourage reading at home, Austin offers practical and accessible advice. She suggests creating a quiet, comfortable and distraction-free reading space, making reading part of the family’s daily routine, and sitting with children to read to them, read with them and be read to by them. She also recommends talking about illustrations and asking questions about characters, settings and story events to promote meaningful discussions. Most importantly, she emphasises being a good reading role model, which helps build a lifelong love of reading and learning.

The Role of the Teacher Librarian in the 21st Century

Austin’s career has spanned an era of profound change in school libraries. Teacher Librarians today, as defined by the Australian School Library Association, hold both recognised teaching qualifications and qualifications in librarianship, bringing combined knowledge of teaching, curriculum, library and information management to Queensland schools. Their role has evolved significantly with the rise of digital information and the need for students to develop critical information literacy skills alongside traditional reading and research capabilities.

Austin has also served as network coordinator for The Grove Network, a professional group for libraries in the Stafford and Geebung district, reflecting her commitment to supporting fellow library professionals and sharing best practice across schools. Her work in this capacity has helped strengthen the broader community of Teacher Librarians in Brisbane’s north, many of whom face ongoing advocacy challenges as the Teacher Librarian role disappears from an increasing number of Queensland schools despite evidence that access to a school library run by qualified staff improves student outcomes.

A Lasting Legacy

Wooloowin State School, which opened in 1914 and currently serves more than 330 students from Prep to Year 6, suffered a devastating fire in 2003 that caused smoke and water damage requiring the destruction and replacement of all library books. The library was completely restocked with generous donations from other schools and rebuilt to a standard that now includes sections for Junior Fiction, Fiction, Non-Fiction and a computer lab. Students from Years 4 to 6 who pass a test to become Library Monitors assist the librarian and assistant librarian during lunch hours, creating a student-led culture of care and responsibility for the library space.

Austin’s retirement this year marks the end of a chapter for Wooloowin State School, but the renaming of the library as “The Austin Library” ensures that her contribution to generations of students, families and staff will be remembered and celebrated for years to come. Queensland School Library Week, which celebrated school libraries and library professionals across the state in 2025, provided a fitting moment to recognise Austin’s extraordinary career and the profound difference she has made to literacy, learning and community connection in Brisbane’s inner north.

A Clayfield Petition With Citywide Reach

An online petition calling for safer cycling on Dickson Street drew 636 signatures before it closed on 26 March 2025. The petition lists its principal petitioner as a Wooloowin resident and focuses on the Clayfield–Eagle Junction area, where the protected bikeway is set to stop at Price Street.

It argues that many riders will still use Dickson Street to reach Eagle Junction station and other connections, but will be forced to ride between parked cars and faster-moving traffic. The petition asked Council to lower the speed limit from 60 km/h to 40 km/h and remove on-street parking along about 500 metres of Dickson Street.

They said the change would reduce the risk of collisions and improve safety for people traveling to Eagle Junction and nearby workplaces, including jobs linked to Brisbane Airport.

Why the Issue Reaches Beyond Clayfield

Although the petition focuses on a short section of road, the route it discusses forms part of a wider network used by riders travelling between suburbs. The petition describes how the North Brisbane Bikeway would be routed away from Dickson Street via Price Street, Kent Road and Brooks Street before rejoining the Kedron Brook corridor. 

For people travelling through the area rather than living in Clayfield, the concern is that the most direct path to Eagle Junction can still run along Dickson Street, where riders say conditions feel less protected once the separated bikeway ends.

What the Working Group Supported

In a Facebook post dated 8 February 2026, the cycling advocacy group Space4cyclingbne said it had seen a 2024 Community Working Group report reviewing the alignment and design of what was intended to be Stage 5 of the North Brisbane Bikeway. The group stated that the working group supported building the missing connection by continuing north along Dickson Street after Price Street, through Eagle Junction, and then connecting to the Kedron Brook Bikeway via Jackson Street, with minor design changes suggested.

Brisbane City Council’s North Brisbane Bikeway Stage 5 project page confirms a Community Working Group met in early 2024 and later notes that broader community concerns were raised about the Price Street to Kedron Brook alignment after the working group ended. Council states it has discontinued work on that alignment and will return to a previous Kent Road-based concept that uses surrounding streets to connect to the Kedron Brook Bikeway.

What Residents Say They’re Still Waiting For

Space4cyclingbne said campaigners were disappointed construction did not proceed in 2025 and claimed some petition signatories had not seen a clear update nearly a year later. Council’s project page states responses to two petitions were endorsed by Council committees on 20 January 2025, while the petition page itself does not display a detailed public reply. 

For locals and riders passing through the area, the practical issue remains the same: the protected bikeway currently stops at Price Street, and the route toward Eagle Junction is left to on-road conditions.

Community Interest Hasn’t Faded

The Brisbane North Bicycle User Group highlighted the petition campaign in a 2025 post, encouraging residents to support calls for safer conditions in the Dickson Street corridor, which it framed as a current local concern for riders. The group’s update is available at Brisbane North BUG. 

Read: Community Calls for Review of North Brisbane Bikeway Stage 5

With Council’s attention now on a different alignment, advocates have indicated a Kent Road connection could still add value, but they continue to argue that safety on Dickson Street matters for people trying to reach Eagle Junction and connect into the wider network.

Shark Sightings Along Kedron Brook

Multiple community reports over recent days have described sharks being seen at different points along Kedron Brook, with the most recent sightings noted near Kalinga Park. The sightings were described as occurring in shallow sections of the waterway that are regularly accessed by walkers and dog owners.

Early warnings focused on dogs entering the creek, reflecting concerns about pets swimming in the water. The advisory was later broadened to include people, following reports that some individuals were also entering the creek.

Safety Warning Issued

A notice shared online accompanying the reports advised avoiding swimming in Kedron Brook until further notice. The warning was framed as a safety measure rather than an emergency response, encouraging caution while sightings continue to be reported.

No timeframe has been given for when the advisory may be lifted. The guidance remains in place for both humans and animals, particularly in areas where the creek is commonly used for recreation.

Species Identification Remains Unclear

The exact species involved has not been confirmed. Earlier descriptions suggested the shark may resemble a blacktip reef shark, while others believed it could be a juvenile bull shark. These assessments were based on visual observations only. No expert identification has been published. Bull sharks are known to move between ocean and river systems and can tolerate fresh water.

Reports have acknowledged the uncertainty and stressed that the presence of any shark in a shallow, urban waterway warrants caution regardless of species.

Local Use Of The Creek

Kedron Brook flows through several northern Brisbane suburbs and is widely used as a shared recreational corridor, including off-leash dog walking areas near Wooloowin and Wavell Heights. Dogs are commonly allowed to enter the water, particularly during warmer weather.

Public information about nearby dog-walking areas already includes general cautions about water quality during stagnant conditions due to potential health risks for pets. The recent shark sightings have added an additional safety consideration for creek users.

What Is Known So Far

While sightings continue to be reported, there has been no confirmation of how many sharks may be present or how long they may remain in the area. Until further updates are available, the advice remains to avoid swimming and keep pets out of the water along affected sections of Kedron Brook.

The disruption unfolded during the busy morning period on 9 December when a vehicle ended up on the train tracks near Wooloowin station in Brisbane’s inner north. With safety the immediate priority, train services through the area were stopped while emergency crews and rail staff responded.

What followed was a ripple effect felt well beyond Wooloowin.

Trains were delayed or cancelled across several lines, and what is usually a straightforward trip into the city turned into a drawn-out wait for many passengers. Some commuters reported delays stretching close to an hour as services were suspended and timetables thrown off.

For people already en route, trains were held at stations while crews assessed the situation. Platforms filled quickly as updates filtered through in fragments, and passengers were left juggling work start times, school drop-offs and appointments.

How the Incident Unfolded

Emergency services were called after the car left the road and came to rest on the railway line near the station. While there was no collision with a train, the presence of a vehicle on active tracks meant services had to stop immediately.

Rail staff and emergency crews worked to secure the scene, assist the driver and organise the safe removal of the car. Before trains could resume, the track and signalling infrastructure also had to be inspected to ensure it was safe for services to restart.

The cause of how the car ended up on the tracks has not been fully detailed publicly, but authorities confirmed it was a single-vehicle incident. The driver was taken to hospital as a precaution, with no serious injuries reported.

Delays Spread Across the Network

The impact was felt most strongly across Brisbane’s inner-north rail lines, but knock-on delays extended further as trains were held out of sequence. Services approaching the affected area were stopped or turned back, compounding the disruption.

Replacement buses were brought in on some routes to help move passengers around the blockage, though many commuters still faced longer journeys than usual. For some, a trip that normally takes minutes stretched well beyond an hour.

Social media quickly filled with photos and videos of crowded platforms and stationary trains, capturing the shared frustration of passengers caught up in the delays. While there was plenty of irritation, many posts also acknowledged that safety had to come first.

Services Gradually Restored

Once the car was removed and inspections completed, trains were slowly reintroduced through Wooloowin. Services resumed progressively, though residual delays continued as the network worked to recover from the disruption.

By early afternoon, most lines were operating again, albeit with some timetable adjustments as crews worked to reset services.

A Reminder of How Fragile the Commute Can Be

Incidents involving cars on train tracks are rare, but when they happen the consequences are immediate and widespread. With rail corridors running through busy suburbs like Wooloowin and Clayfield, even a single accident can disrupt thousands of journeys in a matter of minutes.

For commuters, the morning served as a reminder of how interconnected Brisbane’s transport system is — and how quickly an unexpected event can turn an ordinary trip into a stressful one.

The silver lining was that no trains were involved in the crash itself and no serious injuries were reported. Still, for the many passengers delayed that morning, it was a frustrating start to the day they won’t forget any time soon.

Reviving the Queenslander Identity

Carrie and Anthony Fox, the husband-and-wife duo behind Square Up Constructions, purchased the Wooloowin property in December 2023. Rather than following current trends of coastal or Hamptons-style designs, they chose to rebuild from the ground up with a focus on preserving and reinterpreting the traditional Queenslander.

Drawing inspiration from the 1909 home that once stood on the site, they reintroduced classic elements such as fretwork, ceiling roses, checkerboard tiles and iron lace, integrating these with a modern, family-oriented layout.

Heritage Craftsmanship with Modern Detail

Behind its heritage façade, the home spans two light-filled levels, combining intricate detailing with contemporary functionality. Features include chevron oak flooring, marble finishes, a butler’s pantry, and a glass-fronted 132-bottle wine cellar.

Outdoor spaces include a pool terrace, alfresco entertaining area, and landscaped gardens. The lower level houses a gym and infrared sauna, while modern additions include solar panels, a smart home system and CCTV.

A Statement in Brisbane’s Design Landscape

The couple aimed to show that modern construction can retain warmth and authenticity. Their project reflects a growing movement toward embracing Queensland’s architectural heritage in new builds.

Real estate agent Jill Wright-Wotton, who is marketing the property, noted the design’s appeal to buyers seeking genuine craftsmanship and timeless livability.

Location and Auction

Set on an elevated 810sqm block in a quiet Wooloowin street, the property sits within the Eagle Junction State School catchment and near Kedron Brook, Melrose Park and Wooloowin Station. The home borders Clayfield, Ascot and Hendra.

The property is scheduled to go to auction at 2 p.m. on 1 November.

Holy Cross School was established by the Sisters of Mercy in 1890. This 135-year-old Catholic school will undergo renovations to modernise its facilities while maintaining its rich heritage.

Enhanced Learning Spaces for Young Students

The renovation will include a new facade, updated Prep spaces, and play areas. The new Prep classrooms will feature state-of-the-art design and technology. It will offer flexible and engaging environments tailored to foster creativity and collaboration among the youngest learners.

Holy Cross School Principal Simon Mahaffy highlighted that the upgrades would improve aesthetics. It will also provide students, staff, and families with a more welcoming and stimulating environment. He emphasised that these modern facilities will support the growing number of families choosing the school amid increasing local housing developments.

Preserving Community Heritage

The planned renovations will also respect the school’s historical elements. Community members expressed concerns over maintaining significant features such as the brick pavers engraved with past students’ names and the Lone Pine tree from the War Memorial. 

School representatives have reassured the community that these elements will remain part of the upgraded landscape. The brick pavers will be relocated to the new prayer space, and the Lone Pine will be preserved with a new sandstone plinth and commemorative plaque.

Community Reaction and Future Plans

Residents have largely welcomed the upgrades. They expressed gratitude for preserving the school’s heritage while enhancing modern facilities. Many alumni are noting how the school has evolved over the years.

Upscaled Plans for Greville Precinct

Cedar Woods Properties has submitted updated plans for its 4,178-square-metre Chalk Street site within the 2.5-hectare Greville masterplanned community in Wooloowin. The new proposal outlines two residential towers of 12 and 14 storeys, replacing the previously approved eight-storey limit.

The development, designed by Ellivo Architects, will deliver 232 apartments in one, two, and three-bedroom configurations, set above a shared two-level podium with resident amenities and basement parking.

Building Design and Sustainability

The design integrates with existing Greville townhomes and parkland, balancing low-rise surroundings with the higher-density corridor near Wooloowin station. Both towers will feature landscaped podiums, communal rooftop areas, and deep balconies, using brickwork, precast concrete, and metal cladding for long-term durability.

Sustainability features align with BCC’s Buildings that Breathe framework, incorporating passive ventilation, solar orientation, and deep planting. The project also includes active transport facilities and EV charging readiness.

Project Details and Facilities

The plan includes 68 one-bedroom, 120 two-bedroom, and 44 three-bedroom apartments. Each has a private balcony between 10 and 51 square metres. Communal areas make up 26.43 per cent of the site, including a rooftop pool, BBQ, and green space. 

A total of 297 car parks and 290 bicycle bays are proposed, with vehicle access via internal precinct roads instead of Chalk or Bridge Streets.

Greville’s Broader Development Context

The new towers will expand the $300 million Greville masterplan, which has transformed the former Holy Cross Laundry site since 2023. Earlier stages include 84 townhomes and the six-storey Vera Apartments, currently under construction and due for completion between December 2026 and February 2027.

Devcon Building Co. is constructing the townhomes, while Emacen Projects is delivering Vera. The precinct features a recreation area, 4,000-square-metre park, and restored heritage elements.

National developer Cedar Woods Properties has appointed south-east Queensland builder Devcon Building Co Pty Ltd to deliver the project, coinciding with the construction of Greville’s first apartment building, Vera, currently being built by local specialists Emacen.

Cedar Woods Development Director Blair Britton said the response to the release had been strong.
“This urban lifestyle precinct is already alive and thriving, and the final townhome release is already 40 per cent sold as construction begins,” he said.

Designed by architecture studio Rothelowman, the three-bedroom townhomes range between 191 and 213 square metres, each offering 2.5 bathrooms, two car spaces and premium finishes. Prices for the remaining homes start from $1.42 million — below Brisbane’s median house price of $1.6 million.

Greville residents already enjoy a recreation area with a pool, BBQs, alfresco dining spaces, and the 4,000sqm Greville Park, which opened in 2023.

Devcon General Manager Ray Lindley said the company was proud to join the Brisbane project.
“Greville forms part of our growing Brisbane pipeline and complements our extensive footprint on the Sunshine Coast, where we have been delivering high quality residential projects since 1993,” he said.

Located just five kilometres from the CBD, Greville will ultimately deliver 84 townhomes, more than 200 apartments across three buildings, and a collection of heritage homes within the historic Holy Cross laundry, which dates back to the 1800s.

The project reflects a wider trend of masterplanned communities reshaping Brisbane’s inner suburbs, with developers aiming to balance heritage preservation with new, high-quality housing close to the city. Greville’s mix of apartments, townhomes and parklands highlights the demand for more diverse housing options in areas traditionally dominated by detached homes.
