Service station would be opposite existing BP
A NEW service station could soon be built on Caloundra Road in Landsborough, directly opposite the existing BP and recently completed Park n Go facility at the train station.
Gavin Properties Pty Ltd lodged the development application on Monday, April 28, through planning firm Project Urban.
The proposed site at 7 Caloundra Road is currently home to a fire-damaged house, which would be demolished along with a shed, trees and driveway if the plans are approved.
The project includes three fuel dispensers, provision for a future electric vehicle charging station, and seven car parks—one of which would be accessible—along with motorcycle and bicycle parking.
In the application, the developer described the project as a valuable addition to the township.
“Overall, the site is suitable for the proposed development due to its strategic location within a commercial precinct,” the report stated.
Accessibility to key transport routes, and availability of essential infrastructure services, were also highlighted as key reasons for proposed suitability.
They added the facility would serve both locals and passing motorists while aligning with the Landsborough Local Plan Area and complementing nearby land uses.
“The proposed service station will provide a service to the local community as well as motorists passing through the area,” they said.
“The proposed development has been designed to be consistent with the existing character of the local area.”
