In the wake of submissions following November’s approval of Potter Group‘s proposed Main Place development in Broadbeach,  the Planning Committee have reccomended a number of amendments be approved by Council. The 3275sqm site would still feature a 3-storey retail podium, topped with six levels of hotel space on half the site, as well as a 52-storey building housing 320 apartments.

Importantly, the amendments maintain that the development must achieve a Green Building Council of Australia five-star, Green Star standard for the offices and apartments and five-star National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) rating for the hotel.

When discussing the amendments, Committee Chair, Councillor Ted Shepherd said:

“We want to ensure that Main Place offers its future occupants, and the city, a high standard in sustainability. Added to its proximity to the light rail will make this an attractive place to live, stay, shop and play.”

With the completion of The Oracle building earlier this year and with Hilton and Soul approaching the end of construction, Council view the commencement of work on the site as a priority to the local construction industry and economy as a whole.
