The Carseldine Urban Village is not dependent on the provision of a future Beams Road overpass. Based on sound technical advice received on possible overpass layouts, adequate space in the form of an investigation area has been provided in the master plan, which was granted preliminary approved in November 2018.

For further information on the provision of a future Beams Road Overpass please contact the Department of Transport and Main Roads directly at www.tmr.qld.gov.au.

No existing Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) staff parking will be impacted by the construction of Carseldine Urban Village. Economic Development Queensland will ensure access to the TMR designated staff parking will remain open at all times, during construction of current and future stages of the development.

Four self-nominated community sessions and one recruited community session were held, with a total of 95 attendees. 73 people attended the self-nominated sessions, and included significant representation of people had lived in the area for more than 10 years and were aged between 35-44 years and 55-74 years. Unfortunately very few young adults and young families (20-34 years), older families with teenage children (45-55 years), people with multicultural backgrounds and single-person households, nominated to be involved and have their say. To ensure the views of as many community cohorts as possible where heard, a recruited local community session of 22 participants targeting the household gaps identified was held. A separate recruited cohort of 14 participants included a group of potential future residents that focused on housing typology. 

Mapping by the Commonwealth Department of Environment and Energy of koala habitat in South East Queensland shows that the Carseldine Urban Village site is rated ‘generally not suitable’, this means it is not considered to contain habitat critical to the survival of the koala.

The endangered regional ecosystem onsite commonly known as ‘scribbly gum woodlands on tertiary surfaces’ is highly valued within its natural range and provides habitat for threatened wildlife including koala and wallum froglet. The total area of this particular regional ecosystem within Carseldine Urban Village is less than 0.01% of its current remnant extent, with the most significant tracts located in coastal protected areas further north.

During field surveys in December 2016 by Biodiversity Assessment and Management (BAAM), when preparing the flora and fauna assessment, no evidence of koalas or koala scats were observed nor during previous surveys in 2009 and  2011 due to the significant barriers for access, such as major roadways and high density residential areas in the greater area.

The Government office precinct (with approximately 900 workers), C&K child care, Carseldine Markets, QUT research facility and 75% of the existing bushland will remain. 

Within a Priority Development Area, Economic Development Queensland acts as the consent authority to assess development applications in consultation with Brisbane City Council.

A site wide stormwater management plan was prepared in April 2018 and lodged as part of the development application for the Masterplan and Stage 1, approved in November 2018. This plan recommends measures to ensure there is no material increase in flood levels or flood hazard on upstream, downstream or adjacent properties. The stormwater management plan will be reviewed, updated and lodged with each subsequent Stage development application.

Traffic assessment reports were undertaken in both 2010 and 2011 in conjunction with the Fitzgibbon PDA development scheme amendment which is the overarching plan for the site.

A whole-of-site traffic impact assessment was completed in May 2018 and lodged as part of the first development application for Carseldine Urban Village, approved in November 2018. The assessment addressed the proposed internal road layout and impacts on existing external roads, including recommendations for external intersection upgrades.

Any proposed upgrades to external roads and intersections will be subject to discussion between EDQ and Brisbane City Council.

Expressions of Interests (EOI) for development parcels will be released to the market. Successful development companies and/or building groups will then advertise their various commercial, retail and/or residential product for sale to future residents and business owners. EOIs must focus on community objectives relating to housing diversity, innovation, work from home opportunities and retail and commercial centres for job creation. The process is currently being refined and details will be available in the coming months.

The approved stage S will result in the same number of sports fields which includes, three soccer fields, two grass volleyball courts, a turf cricket pitch and practice nets and two tennis/basketball courts.

The stage S development application was sent to referral agencies for comment and as a result, the proposed encroachment into the future busway corridor south of the sporting precinct was rejected. This meant EDQ was required to reconfigure the layout that was originally submitted for assessment.  

It is anticipated that construction of the new precinct will start in late 2018 and open to the public in mid 2019. The civil contractor appointed for the work is BMD Constructions.

EDQ has committed to retaining approximately 75% of the existing bushland.

EDQ is seeking approval for a maximum 606 dwellings under the development application.

Yes, there are three external intersections proposed to be upgraded along with the Stage 1 works:

1.  Zillmere & Dorville Road intersection,

2.  Beams & Dorville Road round-about,

3.  Signalising the park and ride access at the Carseldine train station.

Stage 1 includes upgrading the Beams Road and Balcara Avenue intersection to a four-way intersection along with a second road off Beams Road to allow undisrupted access to the Department of Transport and Main Roads customer service office during construction of Stage 3 in the long term and will centralise disruption on Beams Road to only Stage 1, in the short term. There will also be a future intersection on Dorville Road to replace Gate 3.

While the Fitzgibbon PDA Development Scheme plans for development to occur along the western side of the site fronting Dorville Road, the Government has decided to exclude it from the master plan for the site. Palaszczuk Government policy is to refrain from developing the western side of the site. Any change to this policy would be subject to the required development application and public notification process.
