Planning a quality community

Malanda North is a proposed mixed use sustainable development in Far North Queensland.  In planning is a vibrant new neighbourhood, with a healthy lifestyle and more jobs to help sustain the town of Malanda.  The development brief includes housing, tertiary and vocational training, health services, work studios for local artists and small businesses, community gardens and green open spaces.

Malanda North will use sustainable design principles and modern technologies to improve the self reliance of residents and businesses, support the growth of new sustainable industries and meet a low carbon target. The development will respect natural and cultural values and increase native vegetation and canopy on site.

The project is intended to create an economically sound prototype for sustainable property development.

An initial concept has been developed and the project team is seeking input from the local community about these ideas to deliver the best possible outcome for residents and businesses in both Malanda and the wider Tablelands region.
