Carseldine Village, a new residential community on Brisbane’s northside, is being developed by Economic Development Queensland (EDQ), a government agency that combines property development with specialist planning functions, on the site of the former QUT campus at Carseldine.
Carseldine Village will be an exemplar of sustainable development – the first residential development in Queensland to commit to delivering 100% net-zero energy emission homes with energy-saving features.
On completion, the new village will consist of mixed-use, diverse, and affordable residential, small commercial and retail, along with bushland and recreational open space areas.
At Carseldine Village, 75 per cent of the bushland is being retained and there are more than 18 hectares of green and open space. The Cabbage Tree Creek bushland, called The Sanctuary, is going through rehabilitation works with the planting of 20,000 new plants, trees and shrubs, and the installation of 228 nesting boxes during December 2020 and January 2021. The Nesting Boxes were ordered and installed by Hollow Log Homes.
The masterplan for Carseldine Village will be developed in 5 stages. The current approved masterplan provides for a maximum of 606 dwellings. In Stage V, a village heart will be developed comprising a retail precinct.
