Brisbane market overview
Greater Brisbane is home to more than 2.7 million people and is Australia's third-largest capital. Sustained net interstate migration from southern states, a deep apartment pipeline through the CBD, South Brisbane, Newstead, Fortitude Valley and the Olympic-precinct renewal corridor, and a refreshing commercial office stock make Brisbane one of the most active depreciation markets in Australia.
Build-to-rent is rapidly emerging through South Brisbane, Newstead and West End, generating large Division 40 deductions per dwelling. Industrial activity is concentrated through the Trade Coast (Pinkenba, Eagle Farm), Yatala/Stapylton and the Crestmead/Berrinba corridor in Logan.

Tax Depreciation for Brisbane property investors
An engineering-based TDA depreciation schedule identifies every deductible asset on your Brisbane property under Division 43 Capital Works (the building shell, claimable at 2.5% p.a. for 40 years where construction commenced after 15 September 1987) and Division 40 Plant & Equipment (carpets, blinds, hot water systems, air conditioning, common-property assets, and more).
For residential property acquired after 9 May 2017, the s40-27 second-hand restriction limits Division 40 deductions to first-use assets - we model this explicitly. Capital works (Division 43) remain fully deductible regardless. Commercial property and qualifying short-stay accommodation businesses retain the full Division 40 deduction.
