Yeronga residents can expect more high-quality residential properties and local business opportunities now that the Yeronga Priority Development Area (PDA) development scheme finally gets the green light.
Under the recently mandated scheme, approximately three hectares of land in Yeronga will be redeveloped into an integrated and inviting mixed-use community precinct.
Part of the development scheme is the construction of a permanent home for the Yeronga Community Centre, creation of diverse residential options, small-scale retail and improved public transport.
In a media statement, Member for Miller Mark Bailey said transforming the old site into a vibrant mixed-use precinct involves three years of investigating, planning, and consulting the public.
“The Palaszczuk Government is grateful for the feedback provided by the Yeronga community, who’ve collectively played a key role in the rejuvenation of this area,” Mr Bailey said.
Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning Cameron Dick said the scheme will give Yeronga residents confidence about the scale and scope of future development on the site.
“The final development scheme provides planning guidance to transform the site into a predominantly residential community,” Mr Dick said.
Mr Dick added that the diverse living options will be complemented with a neighbourhood retail precinct, connected by open space, which together will shape a great lifestyle for those living and working here in the future.
Economic Development Queensland will partner with a private sector developer to deliver the precinct. The successful proponent is expected to be appointed by mid-2019.
