Situated in a part of Goodna set to become the town’s commercial heart, 1 Little Street is among a number of properties that have been rezoned from residential to commercial.
“Make no mistake, Goodna is booming and will continue to do so due to its strategic location in Queensland’s southeast Corner,” the property listing said.
“The existing building could be converted to business premises to maintain cash flow while formulating a future redevelopment.”
A large part of the strip has now been zoned as Major Centres to encourage retail, entertainment and recreation activities to the area.
To either side of the property are commercial lots, including a Pennywise second-hand shop, Goodna Street Life Op Shop and a medical centre.
It backs on to the St Ives Shopping Centre, which features grocery stores, a bottle shop, Australia Post and restaurants.
