Residents can now have their say on the proposed development of a tavern, shops, supermarket, healthcare services and more at Dundowran.
The development, set to be built at the corner of the Pialba-Burrum Heads Rd and Drury Lane, proposes an “extensive range of retail and commercial land uses over six lots”, according to documents submitted to the Fraser Coast Regional Council.
“Six separate development applications, over each proposed lot, has been lodged for the ultimate centre development,” the documents read.
Proposed for five of the lots, according to the report, was a service station, two food and drink outlets with a drive-through facility, a tavern and a childcare facility.
Another lot is proposed to include a complex with a supermarket, shop, office space, healthcare services, indoor sport and recreation, a showroom and a food and drink outlet.
“Overall, the site’s position on Pialba Burrum Heads Road, which connects all of the coastal communities, and site location separated from immediately adjoining sensitive uses, is ideal to accommodate the need for additional commercial development within this area,” the documents read.
“The proposed retail centre will provide a positive response to both recent growth within the catchment and forecast growth, therefore reducing the current level of undersupply and increasing the convenience and accessibility of local centres infrastructure.”
The Dundowran development, proposed by Cinque Projects No 2, is just one of many planned for Hervey Bay.
A massive development featuring a childcare centre, retail shops, and more than 200 townhouses and units is also proposed for the Fraser Coast.
The developer is eyeing off 18 Doolong South Rd, Wonduna, and the land at 15, 23 and 31 Gilston Road for the big project.
Work is also underway on several developments in Maryborough, including the city’s first 7-Eleven service station.
