A large and well-positioned block in Rothwell, which was formerly home to the Frawleys Tennis Club, is now on the radar of developers, with interest building around its potential for residential and low-intensity commercial use.

Located at 56 Coman Street South, the 9825sqm site sits just 1.4 kilometres from Rothwell train station and within close reach of major amenities, including Westfield North Lakes and Redcliffe Hospital, which is currently undergoing an expansion. Its proximity to Deception Bay Road adds further appeal, providing easy arterial access for future residents or visitors.
Despite its central location, similar-sized parcels with development potential are scarce in the surrounding area. Nearby retirement living facilities are limited to Levande Newport, Ballycara Residential, and Bolton Care Seabrook, highlighting the site’s rare opportunity for new senior accommodation or alternative residential uses.
The property, which was home to the tennis club until 2017, already has development approval from Moreton Bay City Council for a 97-unit retirement village. The approved plans include 63 two-bedroom, 21 three-bedroom, and 13 one-bedroom units, with buildings reaching up to three storeys and offering 147 car parking spaces.
Zoned as a specialised centre under the Moreton Bay Regional Plan, the site also allows for other uses, such as a medical centre, quick-service retail, or alternative residential developments, subject to council approval.
“Occupying a prominent and accessible position, there are no surrounding parcels of land that offer the same scale as 56 Coman Street to developers in the market,” the listing reads.
“However, the current approval for the site has set an envelope for alternative residential development outcomes which could be accommodated on the site under the Centre zoning (STCA).
