Developer Polaris Coomera plans 51ha business park for Coomera Town Centre precinct

A LONGTIME developer wants to build one of the Gold Coast’s largest commercial and industrial projects in years, proposing a major business centre.

THE next stage of the billion-dollar Coomera Town Centre is moving ahead with plans for a 51ha business park which will create hundreds of jobs.

Developer Polaris Coomera has filed preliminary plans with the Gold Coast City Council to develop a giant tract of land between the M1 and the new Westfield shopping centre which is currently under construction.

The Link will be built by the Japan-linked developer as a “world-class, masterplanned business park” and has been pitched to city leaders as “one of the largest industrial and commercial developments in many years”.

THE GOLD COAST’S NEXT MAJOR SHOPPING CENTRE

It is expected to feature a range of “low-impact” industrial and large-scale retailers.

Business and city leaders have welcomed the project, which they say will create hundreds of jobs in construction and operation.

Gold Coast North Chamber of Commerce president Gary Mays said the development would complement the new shopping centre and residential projects already under construction.

“This is the next step being right next to major infrastructure already under construction,” he said.

“It is a progressive step because it will create a scenario of allowing the area to offer people places where they can live, work and play.

“My only concern is the impact it will have on traffic.”

COOMERA TOWN CENTRE’S DOMINO EFFECT

The first stage of the project will be a 36ha site while the second stage will be 18ha.

Parcels of land will be offered from 0.23ha to 1.6a.ha.

It will sit just 800m from the Westfield site and the Coomera Train station.

City planning boss Cr Cameron Caldwell said it was the latest addition to the changing face of Coomera.

“This precinct will provide new and ongoing employment opportunities for the area,” he said.

“Many Gold Coast and interstate businesses will be attracted to Coomera as a growing commercial centre.

THE NORTH’S SHOPPING MECCA

“It will be right next to the M1, the Coomera Town Centre and housing.”

The $470 million first stage of the Coomera Town Centre is taking shape, with the north’s biggest development set to open by Christmas featuring 140 speciality shops.
