Meyers Circuit Site Set For 117-Home Development In Mango Hill

Plans for Mango Hill housing have advanced, with 117 apartments and townhouses set for an underused Meyers Circuit site near the suburb’s train station.



The 1.5-hectare former Department of Transport and Main Roads site will be divided between two residential projects expected to accommodate more than 200 people.

Coast2Bay Housing Group will develop 56 one, two and three-bedroom apartments for people eligible for affordable housing. The apartment component will occupy a 3,000-square-metre section of the site and include 68 resident and visitor car parks.

Plans also provide for communal indoor and outdoor areas facing Meyers Circuit. The apartments will be contained in a single five-storey complex as part of the wider residential development.

Coast2Bay intends the project to provide affordable rental options for essential workers and local residents seeking to live closer to employment, schools, services and everyday facilities.

Townhouses Planned For Homebuyers

Azure Development Group will build 61 three and four-bedroom townhouses on the adjoining 1.2-hectare section of the property. The townhouses are intended for build-to-sell homebuyers.

The developer identified the site’s access to public transport, retail, employment areas and education options as features supporting the project. The Mango Hill development will also form part of Azure’s northern corridor housing pipeline.

Together, the apartment and townhouse projects will create a mix of housing types near Mango Hill train station. The site is also close to North Lakes Shopping Centre, Mango Hill State School and the wider North Lakes precinct.

Construction Planned From Late 2027

Construction on both projects is planned to begin in late 2027, subject to the required approvals. Homes across the two developments are expected to be completed by late 2028.

The site has been underused since 2017 and was previously used for rail-related works. It has now been declared a Provisional Priority Development Area to accelerate planning, assessment and housing delivery processes.

Economic Development Queensland is leading the Land Activation Program, which identifies underused government-owned land that may be suitable for housing and works with agencies and industry to bring sites forward for development.



Since the program began in February 2026, market submissions have been assessed for 191 sites involving 25 agencies across 23 local government areas. The Mango Hill site will now move through approvals, contracts and delivery before construction begins.

Affordable Housing Project Commences in Mango Hill

Construction has commenced in Mango Hill on a dedicated affordable housing complex designed for women aged over 55 at risk of homelessness.



Background on Housing Demand in Mango Hill

Women over 55 have been identified as the fastest-growing demographic at risk of homelessness in Australia. In response, a new housing project has been launched in Mango Hill as part of broader efforts to address housing affordability across the City of Moreton Bay.

The sod-turning ceremony took place on 22 July 2025, formally marking the beginning of works on the new complex. The project is being delivered through a partnership between the State and Y-Care, with local authorities’ support.

Details of the Development

The development is being constructed on Linear Drive in Mango Hill and will consist of 47 single-bedroom units. It will include shared community areas and provide on-site support services for residents.

The units are being constructed to meet the Social Housing Design Guidelines, ensuring accessibility for older residents and people living with disabilities.

Construction is expected to be completed by late 2026.

Financial Support and Approvals

The City of Moreton Bay is waiving nearly $700,000 in infrastructure charges and development application fees to support the project. A recent development application was lodged for minor changes to the approved plans.

These waived fees are part of broader local initiatives introduced since March 2023, aimed at attracting more social housing developments.

Broader Regional Context

This project forms part of a wider pipeline of more than 670 social and affordable homes that are either under construction or under contract across the Moreton Bay region.

Other projects are underway in Redcliffe and Deception Bay, including a First Nations-led housing initiative.

Community Perspective

The project was described by involved organisations as a necessary step in providing older women with secure, long-term housing options. Stakeholders at the sod-turning event highlighted the importance of wraparound services and community infrastructure in ensuring stability and connection for residents.

What’s Next



The Mango Hill housing complex is expected to be delivered by late 2026. It is one of several ongoing developments addressing homelessness and housing affordability in Moreton Bay, with further projects under assessment.
