The median value for a unit in Brisbane is now $492,481. The uncertainty in relation to buying in a higher interest rate environment appears to be easing for Brisbane buyers. The median value of a dwelling in Brisbane is now $715,130.

“They have taken me through the project timelines for every one of the venues that remains to be done,” Coates said. “We have done that in Melbourne for the Commonwealth Games. She also has strong political nous, so she will be able to navigate what is quite a political landscape as well.” The 58-year-old was moving towards retirement and a return to the States when she was approached to put her name in the ring for the 2032 Games job, and from a worldwide field of 50, won the job. Hollway said he would “not presume to think it necessary”, but he would be available for Hook at any time to share advice or tips. She understands what is required to turn Brisbane 2032 into a global household name,” he said.

Here's a rough outline of who might take the field against Port Adelaide in the opening round next season should everyone be fit. Trying to predict a best 22 three months before the season is often just guesswork. McKenna is a low-risk wildcard. However, they already have two attacking weapons in Rich and Coleman, so getting the balance right will be important. Who plays wing? One gaping hole in the Lions' premiership credentials has been their ability to defend, particularly in the forward line and the middle of the ground, which Dunkley should help address. Gunston is likely to play closer to the goalsquare, allowing Hipwood and Daniher room to roam, and which opposition wants to leave their third-string defender on the three-time premiership Hawk? That's at least three – possibly four – players likely to be in contention to play round one in 2023 for a team that made it to a preliminary final, and has been among the top four the past four seasons. Brisbane's team has a few moving parts with Marcus Adams still recovering from concussion that derailed the end of his 2022 and Jarryd Lyons on the recovery from minor groin surgery that hampered his second half of last season. Their most lucrative haul in one hit came after falling to the Western Bulldogs in pursuit of a fourth straight premiership in 2016, when they acquired Tom Mitchell, Jaeger O'Meara (who hadn't played the previous two seasons with knee problems), Ricky Henderson and Ty Vickery. The Hawks added Brian Lake after losing to Sydney in 2012, Ben McEvoy after winning against Fremantle in 2013 and James Frawley after knocking off the Swans in 2014.
