About this listen
Brisbane local news morning update for January 30, 2026. It is a big morning for property news, and not necessarily the kind buyers want to hear. A new report forecasts Brisbane house prices are set to surge at double the rate of Sydney this year, putting more pressure on the local market. We also cover the extreme measures Brisbane State High School is taking to weed out families faking their addresses to get into the catchment zone.
In other Queensland news, there is a significant development in the hunt for the man accused of the coffee attack on baby Luka, with Chinese officials arriving in the river city to assist. But we end on some fantastic notes—the long-awaited reopening of the Brisbane Riverwalk is finally happening, and Queensland scientists have made a discovery that is literally out of this world.
