Pallara sits in Brisbane's south and has seen significant newer residential development alongside established surrounding suburbs.
It may suit buyers who want to stay within Brisbane while still exploring newer-home opportunities.
Building your first home in Brisbane & Redlands.
Thinking about building your first home around Brisbane or the Redlands?
Unlike some of Queensland’s larger greenfield growth areas, this part of the catchment includes many established suburbs. That changes the search slightly. You may be looking for available land, considering a smaller infill opportunity or already own a property where replacing the existing home could be an option.
Why consider Brisbane & Redlands?
The biggest draw is staying closer to established employment, transport and services.
You can consider outer Brisbane locations while remaining connected to the city, or look east towards the Redlands for a more bayside setting.
Because much of the area is established, it is particularly important to understand the individual block rather than assuming every suburb will offer the same new-home opportunities.
Areas to explore

Rochedale offers another south Brisbane option with access to major roads and established amenities nearby.
Thornlands
Thornlands gives buyers a Redlands option between established centres such as Cleveland and Victoria Point.
Redland Bay
Redland Bay offers a more bayside setting further south within the Redlands, with established communities alongside newer residential development.
What should you consider before choosing an area?
For Brisbane and Redlands in particular, think about:
- The availability of suitable land
- Whether you are buying vacant land or an existing property
- Commute and transport
- Block dimensions and access
- Site conditions
- Flood, bushfire and other overlays
- The home design that can realistically work on the site

FAQs.
Where should first home buyers consider building around Brisbane?
Areas such as Pallara and Rochedale can offer options within Brisbane, while Thornlands and Redland Bay provide alternatives further east. The right area depends heavily on land availability and your budget.
Is it harder to find vacant land in established suburbs?
It can be more limited than in major new growth areas, which is why buyers may need to consider infill land or an existing property as well as traditional house and land packages.
Can Mayde do a knockdown rebuild in Brisbane?
Depending on the location and site, replacing an existing home may be an option. Use Where We Build to check your address and speak with Mayde about the site.
Does Mayde build throughout Brisbane and the Redlands?
Mayde services selected locations within its catchment rather than automatically building on every block.
