PROJECT OUTLINE
Precinct Urban Planning is proud to have obtained Queensland's first State Facilitated Development approval on behalf of our client, BHC.
Funded by the Department of Housing and Public Works through the Housing Investment Fund, BHC will now deliver 75 residential units for social, affordable and market-rent housing on a site at 9-17 Station Street, Toowoomba City. This project is the first to be issued development approval through the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning’s State Facilitated Development pathway.
The application was prepared and managed by Precinct Urban Planning with architectural design by Arkhefield. The project will include 25 social housing units, 25 affordable housing units and 25 market-rent housing units over seven (7) storeys.
The development is appropriately located on a highly accessible site on the western periphery of the Toowoomba CBD.
