Oxley Golf Club Future in Focus as New Redevelopment Plans Emerge

Oxley Golf Club is facing a potential turning point. It’s one of the largest green spaces left along Boundary Road — and now it could be on shaky ground.

New details emerging from inside the club indicate it is weighing significant changes linked to Boundary Road upgrades, placing the future of the site into sharper focus.



Land in the frame

At a Special General Meeting in February, members were told the club is considering options linked to possible road widening works, including whether part of its Boundary Road frontage may need to be sold.

Set along one of Oxley’s busiest corridors, the golf club has operated for decades as both a sporting venue and a large stretch of open green space.

Positioned along a key transport route, the course has long existed at the intersection of recreation and infrastructure pressure — a balance that is now shifting into sharper focus.

Information presented to members outlined a scenario where land on the northern side of the course could be sold if upgrades proceed. A logistics developer, LogiSpace, was identified in member materials as a prospective buyer, though no deal has been confirmed publicly.

A course reworked

Beyond any potential land sale, the discussions point to a broader reshaping of the site.

Members were told the Club is exploring a longer-term plan that could see the course redesigned across a smaller footprint, alongside a new clubhouse and upgraded facilities.

Any changes would be subject to planning approvals and staged over several years. Early indications suggest construction, if it proceeds, could temporarily affect access to parts of the course, though no confirmed timeline has been released.

Still early, but moving

At this stage, no formal development application is listed in Brisbane City Council’s public planning system, indicating the proposal remains in its early phases, likely at the pre-lodgement or preliminary planning stage.

A familiar pressure

Oxley Golf Club is not alone in facing these questions.

Across metropolitan areas, large recreational sites — particularly golf courses — are increasingly being drawn into planning conversations as cities look for land to support infrastructure and growth.

The club has already explored ways to evolve its facilities in recent years, including upgrades aimed at broadening how the site is used, reflecting changing expectations around how these spaces are used.

For now, the course remains open and operating as usual, with no public notice indicating confirmed redevelopment or closure.

But with early discussions now underway, attention will turn to what takes shape next — and how the community is brought into decisions that could redefine one of Oxley’s most recognisable landscapes.

Charter Hall Plans $350m Logistics Estate in Darra After Key Acquisition

Charter Hall Group’s $13 billion Charter Hall Prime Industrial Fund (CPIF) has purchased a 17.5-hectare industrial site on Harcourt Road, Darra, for $80.55 million. The acquisition will pave the way for a $350 million logistics precinct, reinforcing the company’s investment in Brisbane’s southwest.



The newly acquired site is adjacent to Charter Hall’s existing $250 million ConnectWest Industrial Estate, which houses major tenants such as Australia Post, Goodman Fielder, and Cascade. With bulk earthworks already completed, CPIF is preparing to lease the site to tenants looking for large-scale logistics and industrial space.

Strategic Location and Development Plans

The Darra site sits at a key transport junction, connecting the Ipswich and Centenary Motorways, making it an attractive option for third-party logistics providers, manufacturers, and direct-to-customer businesses. Charter Hall plans to develop approximately 100,000 square metres of gross lettable area (GLA) within the estate, offering flexible configurations to meet tenant demand.

Charter Hall Managing Director and CEO David Harrison highlighted the significance of the project, stating that the acquisition enhances the company’s capacity to cater to businesses requiring lettable areas ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 square metres.

Brisbane’s Industrial Market Outlook

The demand for high-quality industrial space in Brisbane remains strong. According to JLL’s Brisbane Industrial Market Report for Q3 2024, 227,500 square metres of new industrial developments were completed in the region—more than double the 10-year quarterly average. Prime net face rents in Brisbane’s southern precinct are forecast to rise to $152 per square metre annually, with steady growth projected through 2028.

Despite broader economic uncertainties, Brisbane’s industrial sector continues to attract investment, with Charter Hall divesting smaller assets worth $500 million over the past 18 months to focus on larger-scale developments like the Darra logistics estate.

Next Steps for the Project



With the site now in Charter Hall’s portfolio and ready for leasing, the company is set to commence development immediately. The project will provide modern, high-quality logistics infrastructure catering to evolving business needs, strengthening the role of Darra as a key industrial hub in Brisbane’s southwest.
