Construction begins on Yeerongpilly Green Riverside community

Construction started last week on the first stage of the $850 million Yeerongpilly Green Riverside community.

The commencement of construction of the first stage is a major milestone, set to deliver 83 apartments and 10 luxury terrace homes, together with a Woolworths retail centre, café and dining precinct, specialty stores and commercial offices. It will also support 631 jobs during construction.

Projects like this help address land supply challenges, catering for Queensland’s booming population while creating local jobs.

The Yeerongpilly Green Riverside master plan, which includes up to 1200 homes, will generate around 6600 construction jobs, including 335 apprentice jobs and 1000 full-time long-term jobs on completion – providing a major boost to Queensland’s COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan.

Consolidated Properties Group Chairman and CEO Don O’Rorke said the start of construction follows years of hard work on approvals, design and community consultation.

“Yeerongpilly Green Riverside has been holistically designed to include everything a community could want from health and wellness services through to shopping, public transport, parkland and premium homes that complement the local environment.”  - Consolidated Properties Group Chairman and CEO Don O’Rorke

The project is being delivered by Consolidated Properties Group and CVS Land Capital Partners, facilitated by the department’s Economic Development Queensland team.

Construction is expected to be finished in mid-2023.
