Current transit oriented developments

Coorparoo Junction

The Department of Transport and Main Roads undertook an open market process to identify a developer to purchase the land at Coorparoo Junction and deliver a TOD, along with public transport infrastructure on the site. Coorparoo Square was completed in early 2018 and comprises 366 units in three towers with cinemas and retail below.

Buranda TOD

The Buranda TOD is a private sector development adjacent to the Buranda Busway and rail station which will integrate the development with the existing public transport infrastructure. Stage 1 is complete with Stage 2 to follow. The development is a mix of residential, retail and commercial spaces.

Cleveland TOD

The Cleveland TOD is a mixed use development located at the Cleveland rail station. The proposed development will consist of residential and short term tourist accommodation, and a retail outlet servicing commuters and residents.

Ferny Grove Station Precinct TOD

As part of the Keperra to Ferny Grove rail upgrade project, a community consultation exercise was completed to identify a vision for the station precinct. In line with this vision, the Ferny Grove station precinct will be developed into a landmark suburban Transit Oriented Development (TOD) that integrates the Ferny Grove train station with a range of uses including residential, retail and office space.

The department sought the involvement of the private sector in the planning, design and delivery of a mixed-use TOD outcome at the Ferny Grove train station. The private sector consultation presented an opportunity for organisations with experience in the development of medium to large scale, mixed-use developments and construction of transport infrastructure to:

• design and develop a mixed-use development on the site that supports the public transport facilities
• work with the department to jointly optimise the design of the commuter car parking
• construct/reinstate the necessary commuter car parks to ensure no net loss of park 'n' ride capacity.

The department has committed $10 million, with a further $12 million from the Australian Government, to provide over 400 additional commuter car spaces as part of the development.

Site details

The site is placed in the Brisbane City Council local authority and includes approximately 2.5 hectares directly adjacent to the Ferny Grove train station.

Construction

The TOD will be delivered in 2 stages. The entire mixed-use TOD is expected to be completed by late 2024—weather and construction conditions permitting.

Stage 1

• Stage 1 of the Project has achieved Practical Completion (PC) with the completion of the 905 space multi-storey commuter car park, including 25 new Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliant car spaces located over 5 levels.
• Access to and from the new multi-storey commuter car park will be via Ferny Way.

Stage 2

• Stage 2 will include the construction of the retail and residential buildings as well as the connecting internal roads, new bus stop, Kiss ‘n’ Ride and taxi ranks. 
• To support the Stage 2 works there will be changes to accessing the station precinct. 

Please refer to the map below for closure details, station changes and alternative bus stop, taxi rank and kiss ‘n’ ride locations

Albion Train Station Precinct Redevelopment Opportunity

The department owns a number of properties in Albion which were acquired for the Northern Transport Corridor in the 1970s. These properties are no longer required and TMR undertook an open market process to identify a developer to deliver station access improvements and transit oriented development on the sites. The tender process is now complete and a development agreement has been executed by TMR, Queensland Rail and the successful developer – Albion TOD Pty Ltd represented by Geon Property.

The developer will:

• design and construct a mixed-use transit oriented development integrated with Albion Train Station and the wider area
• work with the state to design improved Disability Discrimination Act 1992 compliant access to Albion Train Station and construct at no cost to the state
• work with the state to optimise the design and location of commuter car parking (to ensure no net loss of park'n'ride) and undertake construction of the necessary works at no cost to the state
• integrate with a section of North Brisbane Bikeway through the precinct.

The developer is responsible for obtaining all necessary approvals for the project, including development approvals from Brisbane City Council. Their stage one development application was approved in January 2020 and a preliminary approval for a number of future stages was also approved by Brisbane City Council in October 2020.

Detailed design work for the transport infrastructure is now underway.
