I live on the North side of Brisbane and yeah, the light pollution is a pest.
But you'd be surprised by how much you can and will be able to see. I only have a little 5inch table top Dobsonian, and do most of my viewing from a east facing patio/balcony. When I set things up in the back yard of my block of flats, I get to see even more.
Over the past 12 months of owning a scope, the amount of stuff I have seen is far more than I expected. And you're looking at a scope that trounces mine in near on every aspect, save portability.
As long as there aren't too many tall apartment blocks in your immediate vicinity, or tall trees in neighbours yards, you'll be fine.
