PROJECT OUTLINE
Precinct Urban Planning assisted St Vincent de Paul Qld to secure a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation for 687-691 Ruthven Street, South Toowoomba. The site adjoins the existing Vinnies Family Store on the corner of Long Street and once fully constructed, the development will provide 60 social and affordable units (47 x one-bedroom and 13 x two-bedroom), plus complementary facilities including a purpose-built space for St Vincent de Paul’s Toowoomba Diocesan office, community care centre & a health care service. The uses will be accommodated within a six storey building including basement carparking. The proposed housing seeks to meet the established need for additional social housing in the Toowoomba Region, supported by
complementary infrastructure which will provide services to both residents and external clients. We look forward to the project progressing quickly to the construction stage late this year or early 2027.
