Toowoomba developer Clive Berghofer approved by council for fifth stage of Kearney West estate subdivision

Property developer and philanthropist Clive Berghofer has been given the green light to ramp up development of a major 340-lot estate in Toowoomba’s southern suburbs.

Property developer Clive Berghofer looks set to release even more lots to the Toowoomba market, following an approval that forms the latest stage of his 350-lot subdivision.

Toowoomba Regional Council this week approved the creation of 34 extra residential lots in Mr Berghofer’s Kearney West Estate, a 10-stage development fronting West Street in Kearneys Spring.

The project is less than 500m from the Uniplaza Court shopping village and just 600m south of the University of Southern Queensland campus.

The new parcels, which represent the fifth stage of the housing estate, will range between 550 sqm and 880 sqm, with three identified for future duplex projects.

“The proposed subdivision will form stage five of the under construction estate and will provide direct road connection to West Street,” council planning officer Katrina Christensen’s assessment report said.

“The stage five of the subdivision also establishes the extension of Cadel Evans drive through to West Street, which will result in a roundabout at the intersection of West Street and Handley Street.

“The development integrates into the existing development pattern of the locality and provide lots which are able to be appropriately serviced and developed in future for the intended purpose within the zone.”

The approval came attached with nearly 100 conditions relating to the final design outcomes and construction process.

The first two stages are already sold out of the Kearney West estate, which includes 350 lots and a new linear park with a pedestrian pathway and exercise trail.
