The Queensland Government has announced the approval of Sekisui House’s $800 million West Village development on the Absoe site in West End.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning Jackie Trad said the key inner city site will be home to a new world class development.

“This is a significant urban renewal project that will create thousands of jobs and it was vitally important that we got the planning right,” Ms Trad said.

“I received more than 700 submissions from the community and stakeholders during the proposed call in period, with the majority supporting a call in and desiring a better urban design outcome.

“It was obvious there were significant state interests involved with the development including its economic significance, environmental factors, housing supply, liveable communities and ensuring that there is an effective and accountable planning and development assessment system.

“It was for these reasons I made the decision to call the West Village development in.

“My reassessment of the application was based on planning merit alone, which has been demonstrated through my decisions on previous call ins.

“As is standard practice, government officers entered discussions with the developer for the West Village call in on a range of issues including public space and built form.

“We understood that we had the opportunity to create a world class urban renewal project for this 2.6ha inner city site and I am confident that based on the expert planning advice I’ve received and by applying conditions to the development we have been able to achieve this outcome.

The new design is believed to double the amount of urban parkland around the old Peters Ice Cream factory warehouse building and in create what would become a majestic setting around the character building.

    What a joke, that’s all this area needs, more apartments to further hit the already deflating market.

        The boundary street markets were immensely popular, perhaps build on that to create a James street style shopping precinct, with a more west end slant.
