The deadline for the submissions regarding the Carseldine Urban Village proposal is drawing closer. Local residents have until 20 September to let the government know what they have to say. The formal public notification for the Stage 1 development proposal started 9 August.
The Urban Village proposal will develop the former Queensland University of Technology grounds into a sport, residential, and commercial precinct. However, seventy-five per cent of the existing bushland will be retained. To be undertaken in four stages over four years, the redevelopment will deliver 900 homes, as well as commercial, retail space, and recreation and sports facilities.
The $35 million Stage 1 will include a tree-lined boulevard entrance and the subdivision of three master lots. Around 50 homes will be built along with a proposed retirement site. The retirement site could contain a mix of 150 townhouses and apartments for different levels of mobility.

Along with the mentioned developments, the application also seeks preliminary approval of the master plan and three external intersection upgrades. The external intersections to be upgraded are Zillmere Rd and Dorville Rd, Beams Rd and Dorville Rd roundabout, and the Carseldine Station Park’n’Ride entry on Beams Rd.
Once completed, the redevelopment project will provide some 600 job opportunities to the locals as well as attract investments. The project will not affect the government office precinct and its 900 workers, Carseldine Markets, and C&K Childcare Centre.
“Several comprehensive reports, including a traffic impact assessment, stormwater management and ecology report, have been undertaken to ensure the proposed urban village is designed and planned with the surrounding environment front-of-mind,” Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning Cameron Dick said in a statement last 4 May 2018.
“All reports and information are available online now through Economic Development Queensland’s development assessment website. I encourage the community to read the detailed information which the development proposal is based around, and have their say,” Member for Aspley Bart Mellish said.
