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.

Deception Bay Club Site Earmarked For 42 Townhouses

The former Deception Bay Club site is set to make way for 42 townhouses, with plans lodged to Moreton Bay City Council showing two-storey homes, a shared pool and parking spaces on the Bayview Terrace property.



Rezoning Cleared The Path

The redevelopment traces back to November 2024, when development application DA/2024/4711 was lodged. That proposal sought a variation to the city’s planning scheme, asking council to shift the land from recreation use to a General Residential Next Generation Neighbourhood zone.

Council supported the change in May 2025, allowing the site to be considered for multiple dwellings, retirement living, and other residential uses. This approval laid the groundwork for the detailed townhouse plan now under assessment.

Details Of The 2025 Application

In September 2025, developer Altum submitted a development application DA/2025/4291 seeking approval for 42 townhouses across the 7,592-square-metre block. The design features 13 two-bedroom and 29 three-bedroom townhouses, grouped around a central swimming pool.

Access would be from Bailey Road at the site’s former car park entry, with 80 parking spaces provided, including visitor spots. Garages are kept internal to reduce the impact on street views, while landscaped buffers ranging from two to four metres are planned along the boundaries.

Community Considerations

The planning report describes a coastal-inspired architectural style with articulated facades to avoid bulk appearance. All units have private outdoor spaces, and windows are oriented towards public areas to encourage natural surveillance.

Landscaping includes large shade trees at the entrance and open fencing to balance privacy with neighbourhood integration.

A Site With History

The Deception Bay Bowls Club first opened in the 1970s before becoming the Deception Bay Club. It faced financial difficulties in 2015 and closed, though community volunteers kept the facility active for a time. 



For decades, the land served as a hub for local sport and social activities. Its transition to housing is part of broader growth in the area as demand for residential supply increases.
