A while ago I highlighted this planning stuff up near EJ station (which should have been acquired as QR property for future projects) - but also could have been used as high density development close to a rail line in some sort of co-build of infrastructure below residential. The heritage overlays need to be protected but there are a tonne of parcels that are not subject to this that could be used.
Example one - this monstrous recently built single family concrete box on Junction Rd. Zoned 2-3 stories.
Example two - two empty plots. Zoned 2-3 stories.
Example three - empty plot owned by government as part of Eagle Junction station precinct. Zoned transport use (great!, but a great opportunity to co-locate high density residential as part of whatever is earmarked for this space).
BCC and the QLD Government simply have no interest in identifying opportunities for TOD in a systematic way.
