The beating heart of the laneway is Fish Lane Town Square, a shared space for the entire community. Over the next 20 years, South Brisbane's population is expected to increase by 312.5%. As the population grows, Town Square's public infrastructure becomes increasingly integral to shaping a healthy, thriving community.

Overlays - what are they and what do they do? It's planning control to regulate the type of development that occurs in that area. Not all land has an overlay. There are maps available in each council's planning scheme, and state-level planning policy.

Originally known as Soda Water Lane in the 1800s, Fish Lane, Brisbane, was once a critical artery servicing the working docks of South Brisbane.

The lane was renamed in honour of George Fish in 1906 in recognition of his services as a Brisbane City Council Alderman and prominent businessman in South Brisbane. In 2014 it was transformed into a dining and cultural destination featuring an eclectic mix of public artwork and creative lighting.

In the 1800s, a huge amount of the site that is now known as Gainsborough Greens was cleared to be used as farmland.

So when the Greens project started, devoting a large portion of the land to flora and fauna reintroduction and rehabilitation was at the top of the priority list.

When the Sunshine Coast called out for housing diversity, Avalon answered. Formed by two separate buildings connected by a central spine, the project provides 86 residences catering to a wide range of budgets and household types.

Residential buildings like Avalon demonstrate how one project can stand to serve a diverse community.

Wander through Pimpana's Gainsborough Greens, and you might meet a few furry faces along the way. The Gainsborough Greens project involved bringing fresh life back to underutilised spaces. What was once farmland from the 1800s is now a thriving community with 173 hectares of conservation area. Today 40+ native animal species call the Greens home.

Big or small, every development project in Queensland contributes to the surrounding public infrastructure in a major way. By doing this, developers help share the costs and responsibility of community improvements and maintenance with council.

Great community developments aren't just made to be seen. They are made to be experienced in the everyday lives of the people they were made for.

Fish Lane Town Square is loved for so many reasons. There's beauty in it's curved brickwork, its thousands of cascading plants, even its wayfinding signage is bespoke.

But what makes this contemporary town square truly special, is how it serves the people it was made for.

Making for people means always looking for opportunities to build our communities better.

QLD developers know that it's the little details that make all the difference. And the Birdwing Butterfly Vine at Brisbane's West Village is a perfect example of this.

This vine is a natural food source for the Birdwing butterfly, Australia's largest subtropical butterfly, which has found itself on the 'vulnerable species list.

West Village's Birdwing vine is one of many throughout Brisbane - all planted to re-establish food corridors and strengthen the Birdwing population
