We’re excited to announce that development approval has been secured for Promax for a high-rise residential development at 25 Second Avenue, Broadbeach, one of the Gold Coast’s premier coastal locations.

Architecturally designed to maximise the livability of future residents, the development features spacious full-floor residences complemented by a curated selection of high-quality communal amenities.

The approval demonstrates how thoughtful design can unlock the potential of a relatively small and narrow site, delivering an elegant and slender tower form anchored by a verdant podium and extensive landscaping enhancements.

The project will contribute to greater housing choice and diversity within Broadbeach, introducing a premium residential offering in a highly accessible and desirable location.

Importantly, the approval supports the continued evolution of the area into a vibrant, higher-density residential neighbourhood, consistent with the City Plan's long-term vision for the area.

We look forward to seeing this exceptional project progress to the next stage and become a valuable addition to the Broadbeach skyline.

We're pleased to announce that Zone Planning QLD has secured development approval for Port Services and Prescribed Tidal Works to establish a new marina comprising 14 vessel berths and 12 dry dock berths within the Broadwater Parklands.

This project involved a complex approval pathway, requiring both a Priority Development Area development application and a development application under the Planning Act. The approval process also involved assessment complex leasing considerations as well as input from multiple agencies, including the State Assessment and Referral Agency and the Gold Coast Waterways Authority.

The approved development will deliver additional marine infrastructure within the Gold Coast's waterways, creating much-needed berthing capacity specifically designed to support marine tourism operators. The project represents an important investment in tourism infrastructure while providing activation of the Broadwater Parklands.

We are proud to have assisted our client, Aqua Adventures, in securing this outcome. A fantastic result achieved through close collaboration between the project team, stakeholders and government agencies.

Zone is pleased to have secured approval for Nick Saunders of Laguna Building for a 4 x 3-storey townhouse development at 25 Fifth Avenue, Plam Beach.

The development represents another example of optimising yield within well located infill sites proximate to the Gold Coast’s enviable beach lifestyle and local services and facilities.

The contemporary subtropical 3-storey form provides a positive contribution to the evolving character of Palm Beach’s urban neighbourhoods with each townhouse provided with generous rooftop terraces and their own plunge pools.

Well done to the team involved.

We’re pleased to announce that Zone Planning QLD has secured development approval for a Multiple Dwelling at 14 Milton Avenue, Paradise Point.

The approved development comprises four contemporary 3-storey townhouses, located within walking distance of Paradise Point Neighbourhood Centre and the Broadwater.

The design responds thoughtfully to the site's prominent corner location, balancing built form, landscaping, streetscape presentation, residential amenity, and the site's flood-related constraints.

A great collaborative result with Mi Design Studio, Pinnacle Engineering Group and Zone Landscape Architecture.

Another strong example of well-designed infill development supporting housing supply in the region.

We are pleased to announce that development approval has been secured for a landmark mixed-use residential project in Palm Beach, located at 1395–1405 Gold Coast Highway and 436–438 The Esplanade. The approved development will comprise 94 apartments across two contemporary residential towers of 13 and 14 storeys, complemented by ground-floor food and drink outlet tenancies situated on a prominent 2,472m² site.

The project provides a diverse mix of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom apartments, increasing housing choice and supply in one of the Gold Coast's most desirable coastal locations. The design incorporates generous private balconies, resort-style communal facilities, extensive landscaping, and active street frontages that enhances both the Gold Coast Highway and The Esplanade.

Ideally positioned within walking distance of public transport, shopping, dining, employment opportunities and recreational facilities, the development supports increased residential density in a highly connected and well-serviced urban location.

Importantly, the approval delivers 94 new dwellings, making a meaningful contribution to the region's housing supply while supporting the continued evolution of Palm Beach as a vibrant and accessible coastal community.

The project reflects broader planning objectives focused on housing diversity, urban consolidation and well-designed infill development, demonstrating how increased density can be successfully integrated into established coastal neighbourhoods.

We look forward to seeing this exciting project progress to its next phase.

We’re pleased to announce that development approval has been secured for Chanine Developments relating to a high-rise residential project at 440–442 The Esplanade, Palm Beach, delivering a refined 14-storey apartment building comprising 20 dwellings in one of the Gold Coast’s premier beachfront locations.

The approval facilitates an increase in building height and yield to a previously approved development, allowing an additional four storeys and four apartments while maintaining a high-quality built form outcome that responds positively to the evolving character of Palm Beach.

Importantly, the development achieves a building height above the mapped 29 metre height limit, achieving a height of 43.5 metres. Through a detailed planning assessment process, it was demonstrated that the proposal satisfied the City Plan’s strategic intent and delivered an exceptional urban design outcome.

The project will contribute additional housing supply in a highly accessible location close to public transport, retail services, employment opportunities and recreational facilities. The approved design also incorporates significant landscape enhancements, expanded communal recreation areas and a highly articulated architectural response that reinforces Palm Beach’s emerging coastal character.

This approval highlights the importance of considering planning outcomes holistically, recognising that innovative design solutions can often achieve superior results compared to strict adherence to quantitative planning controls alone.

We look forward to seeing this exciting project progress to the next stage.

We’re pleased to announce Zone Planning QLD has secured development approval for a landmark Multiple Dwelling development comprising 40 units at 3555 Main Beach Parade, Main Beach.

The approval was granted for an ‘Other Change’ to an existing approval, increasing the building height from 22 storeys to a 25-storey tower, along with a corresponding uplift in density.

The outcome follows extensive negotiations with Council and supports the project’s commercial feasibility, enabling delivery of a high-quality residential outcome in challenging market conditions.

Once constructed, this tower will be one of the tallest buildings within the Medium Density Residential Zone portion of Main Beach and represents a considered built form which responds to the evolving character of the light rail urban renewal corridor.

With approval now in place and construction underway, this project will deliver a significant addition to Main Beach’s emerging high-rise character.

We’re pleased to share Zone Planning QLD have secured development approval for our client, Centro Concepts, for a 20-unit Multiple Dwelling at 100 Eugaree Street, Southport.

This project represents a unique and innovative response to site constraints, which includes challenging topography and an overland flow path. The design elevates built form over a suspended slab to respond to an overland flow path at the rear of the site.

Notably, this is the first approval we are aware of in this area of Southport to incorporate above-ground / podium parking, delivering an efficient and context-responsive solution while maintaining a high-quality streetscape interface.

The development showcases a well-resolved architectural outcome by Impact Design, with articulated built form, integrated landscaping and a strong response to the evolving medium-density character of the area.

We’re pleased to announce Zone Planning QLD has secured development approval for a boutique 3-unit Multiple Dwelling at 74 Hedges Avenue, Mermaid Beach.

The approval endorses a 4-storey built form within a 2-storey height area, representing a building height uplift that exceeds the typical 50% allowance under the City Plan.

Through a detailed and collaborative process, we worked closely with City officers to demonstrate that the non-compliance was technical rather than substantive, and that relevant matters warranted approval despite the exceedance.

This outcome reinforces that strict adherence to numeric controls does not always deliver the best planning outcome for a site, with alternative design responses often providing superior results in terms of built form and amenity.

The project is underpinned by a high-quality architectural response by Jared Poole Design, delivering a refined, contemporary coastal outcome that responds to its beachside setting.
