North Lakes is set for a major change as plans move forward for a new 130 room five star hotel and dining precinct, a project expected to reshape the centre of the community and boost local jobs.
Project Background
The development comes after the City of Moreton Bay awarded a land tender for a 1.72 hectare site near the heart of North Lakes. The Comiskey Group, known for creating hospitality and lifestyle venues across Queensland, will lead the project with designs prepared by Bureau Proberts.
The council’s aim is to bring more visitors into the area and support local businesses, especially as the region grows.
What The Precinct Will Include
The proposal outlines a five star boutique hotel, restaurants, boutique retail spaces, and wellness facilities. Plans also include a large green public area and event spaces that can host up to 800 people.
The precinct has been described as an attraction that will give residents more dining choices and create new reasons for day visitors to spend time in North Lakes. The Comiskey Group states that the project is designed to feel connected to the town centre and offer a mix of leisure and community focused spaces.
Economic Impact On The Community
Council estimates suggest the project will bring hundreds of jobs during construction and after it opens. Forecasts say the development may add more than $500 million to the local economy within the first five years.
Officials view these outcomes as a way to support workers and nearby businesses. With large events becoming more common across the region, the hotel is expected to help meet demand for accommodation.
What Comes Next
Detailed designs and approval steps are planned to progress before construction starts. The project timeline points to building work starting in 2026, depending on final approvals. No development application has been listed publicly yet.
The council and the developer are expected to release more information as plans move forward. Residents are encouraged to follow updates through council channels to stay informed about the progress of this new addition to North Lakes.
