Inside plans to turn vacant Nash St Gympie CBD block into offices

An empty block of land in the heart of Gympie, believed to have remained undeveloped since the city was settled in 1867, is the focal point for a brand new commercial property.

One of the last empty blocks of land in Gympie’s CBD could soon be home to new commercial offices under a proposal lodged with Gympie Regional Council’s planning department.

Developer Nashville Properties has unveiled plans to build the office on the 454m sq block Nash St west of the road’s intersection with Palatine St.

The application says the land has been “vacant for many decades and possibly since the first settlement of Gympie in 1867”.

The empty block does have a driveway, stairs and retaining wall exist from a previous development.

The single storey building will house a meeting room and five offices.

The single level office will include a meeting room, five offices and amenities across 90m sq.

It will have parking space for three cars on the block, including one disability bay.

If approved, the office is intended to be open Monday to Saturday from 8am-5.30pm, and Sundays by appointment.
