Doncella Street in The Gap tells a compelling story of Brisbane’s suburban evolution and community strength. Historical records from 1936 reveal that the street had not yet been established, with only sparse development along Waterworks Road marking the area.
Today, this peaceful enclave has flourished into a tight-knit community of 25 properties, where an impressive 85% are owner-occupied. The remarkable average residency of 17 years and 2 months, with 57% of residents calling it home for over a decade, speaks volumes about the street’s enduring appeal. This strong sense of permanence is exemplified in the property market’s history, such as 23 Doncella Street’s sale for $86,000 in February 1985 – a figure that provides a fascinating glimpse into the area’s property journey. Below, you will find an aerial image taken in 1936, offering a striking contrast to the established residential street we see today.
