Coomera Town Centre Development
We are pleased to present the latest up-to-date available information from Gold Coast City Council for this exciting project.
The Coomera Town Centre is one step closer to springing to life with the Minister for Infrastructure and Planning endorsing the Coomera Town Centre Structure Plan. The Structure Plan is an integrated land use plan setting out broad environmental, land use, and infrastructure considerations, and the development intent to guide detailed site planning in the Town Centre.
On 16 February 2009 the Structure Plan was endorsed by Full Council as the future planning intent for the Coomera Town Centre and as a guide for Council officers when assessing future development applications in the Town Centre. In addition, the Structure Plan will be used as the basis for future amendments to the Coomera Town Centre Local Area Plan to reflect the Structure Plan in the Planning Scheme and to support the achievement of the intended outcomes.
The Coomera Town Centre is a greenfield Town Centre within the Gold Coast's Northern Growth Corridor, one of the most dynamic and quickly growing regions within South East Queensland. The Town Centre's location and expected growth will make it a key driver of the Gold Coast economy. As such, the Coomera Town Centre was designated as a Major Development Area in accordance with the SEQ Regional Plan 2005-2026. This version of the SEQ Regional Plan required the preparation of Structure Plans for all Major Development Areas.
As a Major Activity Centre, the Coomera Town Centre will serve a catchment of regional significance, and accommodate key concentrations of employment and a significant residential population. It will provide a range of business, service and retail functions as well as district or branch offices of government, and cultural and entertainment facilities of regional significance.
The Coomera Rail Station will become the heart of the Town Centre with surrounding development encouraging people to live, work and play in the area. This will contribute to an emphasis on walking, cycling and using public transport to access the Town Centre. It is envisaged that the Coomera Town Centre will become an active and vibrant Town Centre accommodating a mix of uses in close proximity to the Rail Station.
