McIntosh Creek subdivision approved by Gympie council

Twenty-four new housing blocks have been sliced off a 115ha property 8km from Gympie

A 24-block subdivison at McIntosh Creek has been approved by Gympie Regional Council’s planning department.

McIntosh Creek’s population will be getting a shot in the arm in the near future with a 24-lot subdivision getting the tick of approval by Gympie Regional Council this month.

The blocks will be sliced from the front of a 115ha property located about 8km from Gympie, off McIntosh Creek Road.

The blocks range in size from 4017sq m (an acre) to 10,300sq m (2.5 acres) and will form stages three and four of The Grange subdivision which is already underway on adjoining blocks.

A 25th block contains the remaining 109ha of land which is not part of this subdivision application.

The subdivision is located off McIntosh Creek road about 8km southwest of Gympie city.
