Ingenia Communities’ lodges plan for 565-home land lease resort in Toowoomba, QLD

The Sydney-based land lease developer has had its plan for a community with up to 1,000 people advanced through Toowoomba Regional Council.

Ingenia Communities lodged a proposal late last year for a “unique, connected, livable community” on 32ha of land in Highfields, where GemLife is adding 230 dwellings adjoining GemLife Highfields and Carinity has built a $32 million residential aged care home, The Residences at Brownesholme.

The plan is for up to 565 housing sites ranging from 190sqm to more than 400sqm with spaces allocated for a range of communal facilities: bowling greens, tennis courts, a cinema, yoga and art studios, community gardens, indoor and outdoor pools, a golf simulator, and various entertainment spaces.

Because the application is code-assessable, no public notification period is required by the developer.

On 30 June 2023, Ingenia Communities told the ASX that it had 18 land lease communities being built.
