A retirement village is in Stateland Pty Ltd’s wishlist after its bid to rezone a large swathe of land at Gordonvale on Cairn’s southern corridor was approved by Cairns Regional Council.

The 13.9ha site will feature three separate precincts:

• ·       Precinct 1: Potential land uses including a service station, car wash, and food and drink outlet;
• ·        Precinct 2: Potential land uses including a transport depot, landscape supplies or a hardware and trade supplies business; and
• ·       Precinct 3:  Potential land uses including a retirement village, tourist park, relocatable home park, place of worship and childcare centre.

Approvals are subject to a significant list of conditions including an 8.5m building height cap on precincts fronting the highway and 15m within the industrial precinct.

 

Other conditions include a maximum 800m2 floor area for food and drink outlets and no more than two shops will be permitted.
