I hazard a guess it’s the same owner as the shopping centre? They tend to buy up big parcels of land around them.
I’ve seen this before on some other thread (sorry not casting shade, just wracking my brain), probably in this sub, and in the last 2 years or so.
From memory the thread might have been about turning it into housing and it’s basically privately owned I think, but certainly is zoned effectively for an extension of the shopping centre.
Now I’m just interested in what the assignment is. Environmental? Filming? Urban planning?
The + shaped building used to be the ATO and the area was a carpark. I guess it’s still gov owned then?
Not sure if this has the info you’re after but hopefully helps

Maybe no-one has ever noticed before and it’s unclaimed. Take a chance and plant a flag
I am on my phone so I can’t see, but does developmenti show any approvals over the lot?
It’s the same lot as Garden City. It’s owned by Scentre Management Limited
Used to be part of Garden City car park but got disused after redevelopment. I remember trying to find a car park in there one Boxing Day that was so bad we went home.
And for no particular interest Garden City is built on where I used to live as a kid and I was there for the original opening of it on 1971. Hard to comprehend what it was then to what it is now.
Check Queensland Globe
I doubt they’ll let you just take it for an assignment mate..
It is the same parcel of land as garden city. Owned by Scentre Management Ltd
The shopping centre owns it
Hey mate. Could be hearsay but im certain it’s owned by Westfield. A mate who worked for them told me they were pushing one of their guys to get it ready to be used as supplementary parking during Christmas periods but obviously that hasn’t eventuated and that’s a long time ago btw . From time to time there will be circuses there.
I’m going to say privately owned. When I worked there in the early-mid 2000s it was used as staff car parking. I’m trying to think what used to be there before it was used as staff parking, but I’m struggling to remember.
Currently owned by A centre, same people behind Westfield. Underwear if it will ever be developed as they often rent out the land to circus performers and carnivals
I think that’s owned by Westfield and they have a DA in progress to build apartments there. I read about it somewhere.
Whatever it is, it should be turned into an apartment building to help with the housing crisis.
That’s funny, I was just there yesterday afternoon taking some photos of the place. Some lovely trees around there, and a few spots nearby with sick graffiti. It’s an old overgrown parking lot.
Set up a tent there and wait
Its almost certainly owned by Westfield. They rent it out to travelling carnivals 2-3 times a year.
This is entirely my assumption, but I’m pretty sure Westfield is just sitting on the land, ensuring that no other buisnesses can buy into it and disrupt their shopping centre.
Its the perfect location for the council to put in more parking for the busway. Anyone will tell you it’s a impossible to find a park in the small one just past the roundabout after 7am, and even the far one across the motorway fills up by 8. Naturally, Westfield don’t want a free carpark nearby, they want everyone to pay for parking inside their centre.
But so long as Westfield keep using the land for something, they cannot be accused of sitting on property for selfish reasons and can’t be forced to sell. I have no proof to this claim, but I feel this is why they have carnivals set up on the land a few times a year.
Don’t worry it’ll have some gigantic 30 storey eyesore on it sooner or later like the one at stones corner.
Was part of an old carpark for garden city so I aimed its owned by westfield
Figure out the address and do a titles search.
It was used as an overflow carpark for a while, so maybe Garden City. As an aside, why the fuck would anyone stay at the Mercure Garden City?
That unmarked building next to it is the Australian Taxation office! No markings on it ofc.
It is part of the Westfield Block to the north-west of the image. So owned by Westfield
When I worked at garden city many years ago that was the staff car park. This was before it went through those major renovations. It sucked getting in there cause there was always a hornets nest on the key code box. I got in trouble for parking in the centre until I showed the hornets nest and was apologised to and they removed the nest. Now, no clue what it’s used for. I think it was used for the cross shaped building and used for their staff too but now who knows.
It’s owned by Scentre Group (past employee)
We always wondered about the 4 prong building that also sits on this land, seems to have been abandoned for as long as I remember. We assumed it was due to asbestos or some other contamination.
Probs owned by Westfield for a future expansion. You’ll notice that there’s a planned road entrance there at the traffic lights
I might be owned by the ATO. My uncle told me that he used to work in the building next to it for the ATO so it probably was the ATO at some point but it might have been sold
Next Musgrave Park coming at you
🤔 Is this the same parcel that hosted the temporary bus interchange ~25 years ago?
You can look at the location on qld globe to find the title identifiers. Using those you could order a copy of any titles you are interested in to see the listed owner.
The first bit is free. Title searches are 20-30 bucks from memory.
