PROJECT OUTLINE

St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland (SVDP), the infrastructure entity, proposed to designate land that it owns near the corner of Hill and Tor Streets, Newtown for Social and Affordable Housing.  Precinct was engaged to seek a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation (MID) under the Planning Act 2016 to facilitate the infrastructure. The development included 27 social housing units, 31 car parking spaces, 14 bicycle parking spaces, private open space areas for each unit, communal open spaces, refuse storage facilities and landscaping.  The unit mix consists of 15 one-bedroom units, 10 two-bedroom units and 2 four-bedroom townhouses.
