54 Mort Street, Braddon ACT 2612, Australia
The property sits on 1,533 m² of land and is currently occupied by Shell operating a gas‑station. The site includes the fuel retail infrastructure required for a service station operation.
The parcel lies in the mixed‑use zone south of Haig Park, which allows developments up to about 22 m (roughly 6–7 storeys) and higher heights where the site faces Cooyong Street. Both commercial and residential components are permitted under this zoning.
54 Mort Street is situated within Braddon's commercial hub centred on Mort and Lonsdale streets, an area traditionally used for automotive services and now bustling with shops, cafes and restaurants. The site benefits from high vehicle traffic along the adjacent main roads and easy access for motorists.
The property is within 0.3–0.5 km of two Canberra Metro stations – Elouera Street and Ipima Street – providing convenient public‑transport access. Major arterial roads such as Northbourne Avenue run parallel to the site, offering strong road connectivity.
Within a 0.5 km radius are several hotels (Capital Executive Apartment Hotel, Pacific Suites Canberra, Midnight Hotel), breweries (Bentspoke Brewing Co, Capital Brewing Company) and the popular Haig Park, all of which generate foot traffic that can complement a fuel and convenience offering.
Given the mixed‑use zoning and the allowance for up to 22 m building height, the site could accommodate additional commercial space, such as a convenience store, service bays or even a small residential component above the ground floor, subject to council approval.
Developments in the zone covering Mort Street are generally limited to 22 m (approximately 6–7 storeys), with a higher limit of up to 30 m (about 10 storeys) where the façade faces Cooyong Street. These limits provide flexibility for medium‑scale mixed‑use projects.
