MULTI-MILLIONAIRE property developer Clive Berghofer has presented plans for his latest housing estate in a fast-growing area of the Toowoomba region.
Mr Berghofer’s company Jeteld Pty Ltd put forward a development application to the Toowoomba Regional Council this week to turn a parcel of land at Kleinton into a 53-lot subdivision at Kleinton.
The land, located off Webcke Cr, is part of Mr Berghofer’s massive Highfields North housing estate in the area.
The subdivision would also create 1.2 hectares of new road, including the extension of Webcke Cr and Thurston St.
According to the Clive Berghofer Sales website, the construction of stage eight of the project has started, with stage seven now selling.
“Highfields North is located on the corner of Kleinton and Meringandan Rds and is situated to the east of Kalimna Park Estate and Trevean Gardens,” the website said.
“Blocks range from 800sq m to 1200sq m and are sewered and connected to NBN, town water and underground power.
“On completion the overall estate will include 430 lots over 10 stages with a park, oval and two detention basins.”
The streets have been named after famous rugby league players with a connection to Toowoomba, in line with Mr Berghofer’s habit for themed housing estates.
The council has yet to respond to the application or ask for further information.
