Next practice volume-building in North Queensland remains on track following the recent master plan approval of the Greater Ascot new town extension in Townsville. The master plan signals a fresh approach for the third generation Parkside Developments that will lead the market with the region’s first genuine main street built in decades, offering walking access to local amenities and affordable housing.
Local builders are buoyant about the marketability of a more affordable smaller-lot product within the region. Roberts Day is working closely with the client, local builders, architects and engineers on Precinct One to develop cost-effective product types specific to volume-building in tropical Townsville. The involvement of local landscape architects will ensure that an authentic landscape defines the interconnected shaded streets and public spaces.
