Expression of Interest for The Station Development tenancy and development options
Posted on June 28th, 2022
Livingstone Shire Council has released an Expression of Interest (EOI) for tenancy and development options for The Station (Council owned site) in James Street Yeppoon. The EOI opened on Friday 24th June and closes on Friday 15 July 2022.
Council’s vision is a proposal that will transform the heart of Yeppoon’s town centre by providing the opportunity for interested parties to work with them to deliver an outcome which activates this prime site to the benefit of the local community.
The key advantages of the site are:
- Available for immediate redevelopment
- Potential for a variety of land uses
- Locational
- walking distance to Yeppoon Foreshore
- across the road from a major shopping centre and soon to be completed cinemas
- a site landmark and feature in the newly refurbished historic railway station building
- significant James Street frontage and pedestrian links to the Capricorn Coast Pineapple Rail Trail
- Potential for a broad range of uses including:
- Retail (food and beverage, artisan products)
- Entertainment (function facility, markets)
- High density residential with ground floor mixed use
- Commercial (offices, incubation and co-working spaces)
Commercial reuse opportunities may include:
- occupancy of the former rail building; and/or
- occupancy of the general surrounds of the rail building; and/or
- occupancy of other portions of the site (majority of lot).
Noting that 1 and 2 may be combined, depending on proposed uses.
