Queensland University of Technology and the Queensland Department of Housing are jointly
developing an integrated urban village on a 16 hectare site within 2 kilometres of the central
business district in Brisbane. The site incorporates land adjacent to QUT's Kelvin Grove
Campus, the old Gona Army Barracks (used by the Australian Defence Force from about
1906 to 1995) and some additional government land. The site is on a major arterial road,
adjacent to the new Inner-City Bypass and Inner-Northern Busway, the Victoria Park Golf
Course, a major hospital and several private and public schools.
The urban village will provide the University with sites for new and innovative teaching and research facilities and will improve access and identity for the campus. For Housing, the urban village provides an opportunity to develop affordable housing in conjunction with private housing and a rich mix of community and commercial facilities. In addition the site has several areas of natural,
historical and cultural interest and these will be integrated within the master plan.
