Cheap parking spaces in New Farm for rent

Being one of the oldest suburbs in Brisbane, there is a history of farming and industry that has spanned the centuries. Lime kilns are still able to be seen that were established in the 19th century as a working place for working class citizens. The river’s edge was also the home of industries such as coal and timber yards, and wool plants. Horse-drawn tram services were available at the end of the 19th century to transport goods to and from New Farm, and were eventually replaced with electrical trams towards the beginning of the 20th century.

In the 1980s, New Farm was gentrified, following the closing of the powerhouse and railway line. This was also something that was happening in the neighbouring suburbs of Fortitude Valley, East Brisbane and Kangaroo Point. There was room for a park for pet owners so that their dogs could run free and socialise with others. The river’s edge, home to many of the suburb’s industries, was built into residential properties and is now an in-demand area for property investors, couples and families looking for areas close to the CBD.
