Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) is one step closer to finalising arrangements for the redevelopment of Yeppoon’s heritage railway precinct.

Silverstone Developments, a privately-owned company with extensive experience in developing commercial, retail and residential projects across south-east Queensland, recently signed a contract to purchase over half of the 2.4-hectare former heritage rail station site to deliver a new mixed-use urban precinct.

Silverstone will develop approximately 1.5-hectares of the 2.4-hectare site, with the remaining land transferred to Livingstone Shire Council for future community uses.

Works to revitalise the heritage station building are still underway, to be completed in mid-2020 by Landbrook Building and Construction, who were awarded the contract in late-2019.

The station, which forms part of the precinct, was officially closed in 2004 due to disuse.

For more information about the proposed re-development of the site, please contact Livingstone Shire Council on (07) 4913 5000 or 1300 790 919 or visit www.livingstone.qld.gov.au
