Tallest Building in Australia
Many people assume that the tallest building in Australia will be in Sydney. And, when they’re in Sydney, it’s pretty apparent what the leading candidate is. The Sydney Tower sticks out of the city centre like an enormous needle skyscraper. But at 305 metres tall, the Sydney Tower is not the tallest building in Australia. Nor is Australia 108 on Melbourne’s Southbank, at 316.7 metres. So, which is the tallest building in Australia?
The tallest building in Australia
If you take the full architectural height, however, the tallest building in Australia is the Q1 Tower in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Completed in 2005, the Q1 was once the tallest residential building in the world. It’s 245m to roof level and 322.5m to the top of the spire. Admittedly having a 97.7-metre spire (it starts below roof level) is cheating somewhat.
