A new residential tower is set to rise in Milton. A development application has been lodged for a 30-storey building at 33 Manning Street.
The Goldfields Group’s proposal, dubbed Goldfields House, will feature 304 apartments, including a significant 15% affordable housing component comprising 46 dwellings. These affordable units will be rented at a 25% discount to market rates, targeting low to moderate-income households and essential workers.
The 1,620 square metre site in the heart of Milton is strategically positioned within a Regional Activity Centre, aiming to address the area’s housing demand. The tower will offer a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, with most affordable housing allocated to one-bedroom units.
The development’s design incorporates sustainable features like deep planting zones, vertical greenery, and shaded outdoor spaces. It will also include extensive resident amenities like a rooftop pool, lounges, and landscaped gardens.
A key aspect of the project is its alignment with the Queensland Government’s State Facilitated Development (SFD) framework. This streamlined approval process aims to expedite infill developments, including a mandatory 15% affordable or social housing component. Goldfields House is part of the Inclusionary Planning Pilot under the Homes for Queenslanders plan, which seeks to deliver one million new homes by 2046.
By leveraging the SFD framework and the Inclusionary Planning Pilot, the project aims to contribute to Brisbane’s housing supply while ensuring long-term affordability and accessibility.
