At the heart of Brisbane’s most elevated residential community is an amenities hub like no other, architecturally designed to bring the outside in and embrace showcase stunning views at Frasers Property Australia’s The Quarry.

ClubQ is a $5M resort-style facility now complete and exclusive for residents to relax, unwind and entertain, and part of the $500M master planned community transforming the 48.7-hectare Keperra Quarry.

The innovative facilityfeatures a 25-metre lap pool with infinity edge, and two additional resort-style walk-in pools with an integrated waterfall and a kids splash and play area, and a private wellness centre featuring a fully equipped gymnasium and meditation room.

In addition, the facility also has a generous kitchen, an art gallery and future communal dining space, shared green space, and a sunset deck with sunken levels and built-in seating to capture panoramic views of the local D’Aguilar Range and beyond.

Keperra is experiencing strong demand for new housing supply due to its proximity to leading schools, healthcare, and major transport infrastructure.

Rothelowman Project Leader Megan Schulte said the space had been designed to amplify life at The Quarry.

“The built form of ClubQ takes cues from the existing environment and colours, reusing materials mined onsite to build a sense of place,” Ms Schulte said.

“Water and earth are celebrated throughout the ClubQ footprint as the lifeforce and heart of everything, even to the imposing 4-metre high, 54-tonne granite boulder that forms part of the building itself.”

“We have truly left no stone unturned to connect these vastly distinct spaces, from reusing site materials including monolithic stone in the spacious kitchen, to subtle touches like geometry of the footpath and pool edges which resemble the microscopic edges of granite.”

The entertainment space overlooks a 3.7-metre LED screen and a collection of curated visual storytelling pieces presented as an art gallery that will become a communal dining space for future residents.

A mature Kauri Pine Tree sits front and centre at ClubQ, encased by windows as it seamlessly blends the inside and outside realms, adding natural light for picturesque views and enhanced golden hour scenes all year-round.

Scott Ullman, General Manager Queensland Development at Frasers Property Australia, said the ClubQ brought unique amenity and design aesthetic to a rugged environment.

“As The Quarry transforms over the next decade, ClubQ will become a timeless space for future residents to come together and enjoy social events and recreation long into the future,” he said.

“More than 40 per cent of the community is dedicated to existing bushland and newly curated green space and resident amenities. ClubQ is the heart of the Quarry, and an extension of the residents’ homes.”

The Quarry will feature a mix of 500 home and land sites, Rothelowman-designed terrace homes, and extensive placemaking.

The existing Keperra Quarry mines granite and will progressively curb operations as the development of the residential stages advance.

Prices for available home sites start from $585,000.
