Mixed-Use Residential Precinct — Rezoning & Subdivision
Spotted 8 weeks ago
Petrie, QLD 4502
Preliminary approval for material change of use across multiple residential and care typologies (dwelling houses, multiple dwellings, retirement/residential care facilities, short-term accommodation, sales office, home-based business, and park). Application includes variation to zoning (General Residential & Recreation/Open Space) and level of assessment, plus subdivision of land into 4 lots with new road.
