Varsity Lakes

Development-ready land in a thriving mixed-use and residential precinct

The Land Activation Program has come to Varsity Lakes, with a well-located site set to be unlocked so more Queenslanders have a place to call home.

The site offers:

  • 1.11ha of development-ready land, offering flexibility and scale.
  • The potential for elevated coastline views.
  • A range of residential and mixed accommodation uses.
  • Outstanding connectivity, located close to key transport hubs such as the Varsity Lakes Train Station, M1, local bus services and other key public transport hubs.
  • Proximity to key lifestyle and employment destinations, including retail, education providers, open space networks, and major employment precincts.

The site joins EDQ’s Land Activation Program after remaining surplus following rail upgrades 15 years ago.
