142 & 156 PADSTOW ROAD, EIGHT MILE PLAINS The development of these two sites for the same developer saw some 37 townhomes delivered within a residential pocket undergoing transition from large rural homes to infill dwellings. The development achieved record sales based on the efficient design, while overcoming site constraints that included site access, vegetation and density.
14 JENNINGS STREET, ZILLMERE This small-scale multi-residential development delivered 5 townhouses within an expedited assessment process. The approval was obtained within 5 days of public notification completion allowing the total project to be completed within 12 months of site acquisition.

Town Planning Alliance has overseen some of Queensland’s most successful property developments.

It is our ability to read trends quickly, adapt, and appropriately brief our clients that sets us apart. We match our clients’ needs to prevailing conditions to greatly enhance their outcomes. In a competitive market our defining advantage is an ability to provide design efficiencies, while simultaneously maximising investor yield. Residential developments require sensitive neighbourhood engagement strategies so that approval may be achieved in a timely fashion.

We work hand-in-hand with leading architects to ensure our projects meet market trends while delivering cost effective buildings.
PROGRESS ROAD, RICHLANDS
90 LAMINGTON AVE, ASCOT
This project delivered 168 townhouses across three separate stages. The successful delivery of this project dealt with issues such as road connectivity, conflict with Council’s broader planning intent and significant vegetation. The project is now under construction with the majority of dwellings already pre-sold.
The repurposing of an existing 1960’s block of units to create 9 modern dwellings was achieved via Brisbane City Council’s Risksmart process. This saw an additional level installed to an existing building, thus enabling reduced parking rates and additional dwelling yield.
FESTIVAL PLACE, NEWSTEAD • 2 Award winning towers • 366 Apartments • Hotel and restaurant dining interface • Landmark development in burgeoning Gasworks
> AGED CARE We specialise in delivering tailored aged care solutions while optimising yield • Meeting zoning and council requirements • Circumnavigating of possible impediments • Providing rapid solutions in desired residential catchments
The aged care sector has undergone tremendous growth in recent years according to well-documented demographic changes. Having identified this as an area of great opportunity, Town Planning Alliance has positioned itself at the very forefront of this burgeoning market segment. We deliver rapid solutions and put large buildings in desirable residential catchments. We have a proven record of strategically navigating zoning and council requirements. We deliver successful projects in these catchments by engaging with community stakeholders to smoothly navigate any possible objections. Given the scale and size of these projects, potentials constraints include preparing for bushfires, flooding, and traffic flows. Our planning expertise is evident in our ability to circumnavigate these possible impediments. In this complex setting there is a heightened need for development specialised strategies to achieve optimal client outcomes. Our ability to insert large scale buildings within residential catchments is without market peer.
880 CREEK ROAD CARINA TRICARE
SEVILLE RD, HOLLAND PARK SOUTHERN CROSS CARE
On this occasion, our team delivered a five staged development approval that varied between a three and six storey built form. Representing in excess of 150 beds and living units, this project will feature as one of Tricare’s flagship developments. Planning challenges included the limited planning height/density provisions (i.e. 2 storey zone) while managing existing site constraints such as vegetation, traffic, hydrological and biodiversity limitations.
This project was the first of its kind to be approved under Brisbane City Council’s Aged Care Taskforce recommendations of 2009. The approval saw the redevelopment of an existing facility to a five staged master planned village comprising 142 rooms and 140 independent living units. Under our expert guidance, the development was built to a five storey height within a surrounding two storey planning framework.
260 CLIVEDEN AVE, CORINDA - PRESCARE • 5 Storey structure • 150 Living units, 60 care beds for seniors • Original building retained its unique and traditional character
> COMMERCIAL We deliver tailored designs that meet agreed commercial requirements and maximise investor yield • Ensure developments are “place makers” • Pursue designs that maximise foot traffic and customer engagement • Negotiate across all regulatory bodies at the local, regional and state level
We do everything from small scale suburban corner stores to large scale shopping centres. We have successfully developed a diverse range of projects from world class showrooms (Lexus), to food (Red Rooster) and mixed integrated residential with commercial (Gasworks and Lyndsay Street). Our principles for each are the same – we deliver design that maximises exposure to foot traffic, while ensuring “place making” at the same time.
WELLINGTON POINT MEDICAL CENTRE This project will see the creation of a new medical centre within the Wellington Point commercial area. The centre will provide world-leading sports rehabilitation facilities among other allied health services. Once completed, the building will showcase first class design while fulfilling vital community needs.
LEXUS SHOWROOMS Acting for the dealer principal, we secured the relevant author permits required to construct two luxury car showrooms. This process saw us overcome issues of land contamination, land use rights, and street activation.
TOOWONG VILLAGE • Upgraded a key commercial centre • Negotiations with State Authorities as centre is built over a train station • Optimised public signage and advertising devices
> SUBDIVISION Our team has the ability to consistently achieve commercially viable subdivision outcomes • Extraction of maximum allotments to unlock development potential
The essence of our success lies in an ability to minimise civil construction costs. We possess impeccable urban design skills, and excel at formulating layouts that work within site conditions, while relentlessly optimising yield.
• Coordination of regional infrastructure • Negotiation of protected vegetation
LOFTUS STREET, DEAGON
D’ARCY ROAD, SEVEN HILLS
Our investigations of this site prior to purchase enabled our client to extract an additional allotment for their development. By identifying a pre-existing title shortcoming, we were able to convince Council that the site was suitable for a five lot subdivision, despite the land being marketed to our client as a four lot subdivision site. This resulted in a substantial increase in yield.
This three lot subdivision optimised the site’s location within close proximity to an existing commercial centre. The division enabled the creation of prime, small-scale residential allotments. Our due diligence and site planning efforts enabled the creation of irregular shaped blocks that allowed for maximised residential utilisation.
BROADACRES DRIVE, TANNUM SANDS • Due diligence for acquisition of master planned community • Strategy to achieve commercially viable outcomes • Coordination of regional infrastructure • Negotiations for protected vegetation at local, state and federal levels
