Development
Kenny Phillips and Richard Volpe grow Clifton Lifestyle to five LLCs

The business has been given approval from Toowoomba Region to build a 312-home land lease resort near Toowoomba. 

It covers a 28ha block of land in Torrington, a rural locality in Toowoomba, 132km west of Brisbane and will be built over 15 stages. 

The parcel of land is one of several across Toowoomba included in a temporary local planning instrument by the council, which was passed in 2022 to encourage more housing in land zoned as emerging communities.
