The Yeerongpilly Green Riverside community is part of a bigger master plan, which includes up to 1,200 homes, and will generate around 6,600 construction jobs, including 335 apprentice jobs and 1,000 full-time long-term jobs on completion.
Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development Steven Miles turned the sod in November 2021, together with Consolidated Properties Group and CVS Land Capital Partners who will deliver the project.
Don O’Rorke, CEO and Group Chairman at Consolidated Properties Group revealed the start of construction follows years of hard work on approvals, design and community consultation.
“Yeerongpilly Green Riverside has been holistically designed to include everything a community could want from health and wellness services through to shopping, public transport, parkland and premium homes that complement the local environment,” Mr O’Rorke said.
CVS Lane Chief Executive Officer Lee Centra was pleased to see that the vision for Yeeronpilly, which is to transform the underutilised 14-ha site into a major residential, retail and commercial destination, is taking shape.
Meanwhile, Mr Miles said projects such as Yeerongpilly Green Riverside help address land supply challenges, catering for Queensland’s booming population whilst creating local jobs. The first stage of the project will support up to 631 jobs throughout construction.
Member for Miller Mark Bailey said Economic Development Queensland (EDQ), in partnership with the developer, invested over $30 million to deliver the parks and public infrastructure.
“We have created a pedestrian spine between the Yeerongpilly Railway Station and the Pat Rafter Tennis Arena and parks as well as other infrastructure including roads, verges, landscaped public spaces and all services necessary for a modern master planned community,” said Mr Bailey.
