Carseldine Childcare Centre Aims for 5-Star Green Rating

A proposed childcare centre in Carseldine is aiming for a five-star green rating from the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) as part of the development’s commitment to sustainability, environmental stewardship, social responsibility, leadership, and innovation.

Getting a Green Star

A Green Star rating provides independent verification that a facility is sustainable. Green Star-certified buildings have been found to recycle 96 per cent of their construction waste, compared to less than 60 per cent for the average construction project.

As a facility with a potential five-star green rating, the Carseldine childcare centre is expected to cover specific aspects of a sustainable building design, construction or performance. It will undergo an independent assessment panel to ascertain that it meets the Green Star benchmarks of the GBCA.

Design and Details

The facility will be built within the Carseldine Urban Village, a project under Economic Development Queensland. ALTO Architects designed the single-storey childcare centre in Carseldine to accommodate 98 children.

The centre will have six activity rooms and four large outdoor play areas, including a covered outside space. The proposal also includes 22 car parking spaces, landscaping and a vehicle and pedestrian access to Plaza Place through Promenade Street.

Carseldine Childcare Developments Pty Ltd will manage the facility whilst Town Planning Alliance is in charge of the development, per PDA DEV2021/1238.

The childcare centre will be located east of a newly-established sports and recreation centre, dubbed The Green, and near the Rockpool residential precinct within the Carseldine Urban Village.

Per EDQ, the proposal was properly submitted in early November 2021 and is still awaiting a decision.

The Splash Zone features a special pool designed for the doggos’ waterplay. The corner will also have a rehydration station for the thirsty pups.

AWL will also set up an information corner where humans could ask about getting involved and supporting the animal charity.

First Slabs Completed at Carseldine Village Terrace Homes

Construction works on Carseldine Village, a 100% solar-powered residential and aged care development in north Brisbane, have begun.

Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development Steven Miles visited the construction site with the home buyers in the last week of May 2021, setting off some excitement for the project’s eventual completion.

“It’s exciting to see the first slabs completed as we build more innovative and affordable homes for Queenslanders,” the minister said. “This will support around 60 construction jobs for the first 53 terrace homes in Stage 1, with more stages and more jobs to come.”

Future Carseldine Village homeowners Aldridge and Miranda Joseph said that they are delighted to see their house taking shape.

“It’s one thing to see the house and land on paper, but another to be able to see it being built,” Aldridge said. “Our daughter bought a home in Fitzgibbon Chase, a previous Economic Development Queensland project, so Carseldine Village sparked our interest.”

Carseldine Village is one of Queensland’s pioneering zero energy emission residential developments, which means that the homeowners will be able to save a lot on their power bills. It’s been estimated that residents could shave off $1,600 a year on their electricity.

Rockpool Reveals New Plans for $43-M Carseldine Aged Care Facility

The residential aged care provider Rockpool is currently in the midst of planning an all-new, eco-friendly aged care facility in Carseldine — one that is estimated to cost a total of $43 million.

Rockpool Residential Aged Care aims to create the first 5-star Green Star rated aged care community in Australia by working with the Queensland State Government to set up a new facility in Carseldine Urban Village, a zero energy emission community.

The proposed aged care facility, which will be six storeys high and capable of housing up to 150 residents, can be split into five separate communities optimised for small-scale living. Each of these communities will contain 30 beds for its residents, a lounge area, and a dining area.

Due to the smaller size of each room, in tandem with their separation to create unique communities, they make for environments reminiscent of traditional homes. Though the facility itself will be large, the residents will still be close.

The six-storey development, if approved, will be built from the ground up, with costs reaching a total $43 million. Construction alone is estimated to bring in 120 new jobs to the local community, scheduled to begin in May 2021 and finishing sometime in October 2022.

Carseldine Urban Village can be found at 532 Beams Rd, Carseldine. To learn more about Rockpool Residential Aged Care, visit their website. Follow their Facebook page for the latest updates and announcements concerning their proposed facility.

Carseldine Village Terrace Homes Will be 100% Solar Powered

Carseldine Village, the ongoing residential development on Beams Road, will be using 100 percent solar power, enabling the homeowners to cut down on their electricity expenses.

The State Government recently announced that the terrace homes development will be “zero net energy emission homes” and will greatly help Queensland achieve the targetted 50 percent renewable energy by 2030.

“All the Carseldine Village terrace homes and the Oxley Songbird detached residential dwellings homes will come with solar PV, battery storage systems, heat pump hot water systems, WiFi air conditioning and will be electric vehicle charger ready,” Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development Steven Miles said. “This could save owners up to $1,600 per year off their power bills.”

The same zero net energy emission system is also being adapted at Songbird Oxley, another government-led residential development in the western suburbs.

A landmark deal between Natural Solar, Australia’s largest solar battery installer, and U.S. tech company, Tesla, was recently signed as well, which will deliver Tesla Powerwall packages to the Oxley homes, saving the residents $2,000 per year.

“Homeowners at Songbird Oxley can expect to save up to $2000 per year, delivering a return on investment in around 5 years. With solar, you typically generate more energy than you need, so by combining it with the Tesla Powerwall, it can be stored and used when needed,” Natural Solar CEO Chris Williams said.

Mr Miles said that they are hoping more builders and developers will aspire to develop zero-emission homes following these two innovations.

Beams Road Overpass Project to Unveil Business Case in Early 2021

Plans for the construction of a significant local road in Carseldine are moving along as the government expects to unveil its business case for the Beams Road Overpass project in early 2021.

The business case should incorporate feedback from the public and the experts in designing the Beams Road Overpass versus its cost estimates following the end of the community consultation in October 2020.

Workers from the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) have done on-site investigations to check if the ideas received during the community sessions are possible.

The preferred design underscores the following benefits and impacts:

completely remove the rail level crossing
includes active transport paths for walking, bike riding and mobility devices.
potential to impact residential properties
will reduce the number of car parks at the existing Carseldine park ‘n’ ride, however, this impact will be offset by the development of a new park ‘n’ ride area on the eastern side of the rail line

The road that will connect the northern suburbs communities aims to improve travel time and safety, as well as ease the congestion for commuters. Once the business plan is completed and released, the TMR aims to start the overpass construction by late 2021.

A commitment of $128 million from the Queensland Government in June 2020 accelerated this project, which will also ental upgrades to the Carseldine park ‘n’ ride. Brisbane City Council and the Australian Government have also set aside funding, rounding up the total investment to $248 million.

Carseldine Village: Stage 1 Completion Target Set for February 2021

Stage 1 of the Carseldine Village project, fast-tracked by the Queensland Government in mid-2020, could meet its targetted completion date in February 2021, allowing the first set of homeowners to move into the facility by the middle of the year.

Construction of the Carseldine Village Stage 1 includes the 53-terrace residential units, the aged care facility, and road upgrades to three nearby intersections to improve access and traffic flow. The project has brought on over 60 local jobs for the civil works and an additional 50 jobs for the construction of the terrace homes.

The precinct has been dubbed as the “first residential development in Queensland to commit to delivering net zero energy emission homes with energy saving features.”

The terrace homes will incorporate solar power, heat pump hot water systems, smart-phone controlled home airconditioning system and a garage with an electric vehicle charger.

Whilst Stage 1 has been progressing, civil and electric work has begun in December for Stage 2. This next project will add 49 more terrace homes to the village and should be completed by the yearend.

In January 2020, the village opened the four-hectare sports and recreational facility, The Green.

Developed for community use, The Green’s facilities include three soccer fields, two tennis/netball courts, two volleyball courts, half-court basketball, all abilities playground, yoga lawn, fitness equipment, BBQ area, changing rooms with public toilets, shaded seating and 120 car parks.

Carseldine Village is on the former QUT Carseldine campus, which has been closed since 2008. In 2012, the site became a Government Office Precinct but four years later, plans to redevelop the site into a mixed use space with dwellings was lodged with the Council.
