Not 100% sure on the height, there use to be a picture telling maximum floor heights but I cant find it.
The tallest tower I think will be around 160m, but I'm sure if a company wants to they could get plot bonuses and go higher

But this is what we will be getting


This is the national thread about it

This is WA Forums thread about it

Wow this thread would be empty if it wasn't for Flickr.

Does anyone remember when 99% of the photos in the skyline threads were from www.realestate.com.au ?

How things change

Dim that second shot is gorgeous. It has that lovely earling morning feel about it. The city is just waking up! Love the quiet park - very pretty.

that top brissy photo at dusk looking across the river is sweet. Great angle to show skyline profile.

Townsville North Queensland - with a few cargo ships docking at the Port of Townsville in the backround.

Few changes over the next couple years, with two big glass highrises under construction..

Maybe because it was a Friday night? This was around 11pm too. Most of the buildings in the middle of the photo are residential and hotel though aren't they?

Thanks everyone also

It could easily be any evening.

I think its a good idea if lights in office towers are turned off for the sake of saving energy.

Yes, if you want every light to be on, a better time to take night photos is 7pm.

With winter coming up, even before 6pm will be excellent.

If that's the case, then most lights should be on!
