Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane proposes office building in Fortitude Valley

Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane Fortitude Valley St Patrick’s Church commercial development heritage conservation

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane has submitted planning documents to the Brisbane City Council for a new eight-storey commercial office building in Fortitude Valley. The proposed development, part of the Arbory Precinct, would be located on the Morgan Street site immediately south-west of the heritage-listed St Patrick’s Church.

According to the town planning firm Urbis, the project is intended to generate a long-term commercial income stream to fund the ongoing operation and conservation of the historic church. The design, by architecture firm Blight Rayner, includes a new pedestrian arcade connecting Morgan and Berwick streets through the church grounds. This space is intended to function as an ‘urban common’ featuring landscaping, seating, a cafe, and a building lobby.

The development site spans approximately 10,690 square metres and falls within the Fortitude Valley neighbourhood plan area, which supports mixed-use and commercial growth.
