What Local Homes Run
Two housing ages, one hot water stock
The suburb grew from allotments carved off between 1900 and 1913, after the station opened, and the timber Queenslanders from that era still stand in the streets now under the character overlay. Since then, apartments have taken over from many houses along the main roads toward the river, so the tanks here range from century-old plumbing to modern strata fit-outs.
Mostly apartments, at the last census
Census figures put 57.8 per cent of the 2,516 dwellings here as flats or apartments, with 40.4 per cent separate houses. That mix means a tank in a ceiling void or a laundry cupboard is just as common here as one on a weatherboard side wall, and Toowong Hot Water Services works on both.
Old pipe under old floors
The surviving Queenslanders can still push their hot water through original steel branches below the boards, and that pipe rusts from the inside, losing flow at the taps long before it leaks anywhere you can see.
Low ground with a flood record
Dixon Street and Lang Parade sit low enough to go under first whenever the river comes up, so a ground-level unit on those streets gets isolated early rather than after the fact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7118Does a tank inside an Auchenflower apartment block need body corporate approval?
Usually yes, because common property and shared walls are involved, so we describe the unit and its position in writing for you to hand to the body corporate before any work is booked.
Which hot water systems suit the units near Auchenflower station?
A compact storage tank or a wall-hung continuous flow unit usually suits a service cupboard, because floor space is tight and the plumbing already runs close to where the old unit sits.
Does river flooding on Dixon Street and Lang Parade affect hot water systems?
It can, because both streets have taken water in the 1974, 2011 and 2022 floods, so any unit that has been under water gets a full inspection before it runs again.
Do the timber homes in the character streets need pipe checks first?
Yes, because the older Queenslanders can still feed showers and taps off ageing steel pipe under the boards, and the rust narrowing that pipe affects both flow and the sizing of a replacement.
Does Urban Utilities supply matter for a new system here?
It can, because a continuous flow unit needs steady supply pressure to fire properly, so we confirm what the connection delivers before quoting rather than after the unit arrives.
