Indigo has received the green light from the Brisbane City Council to begin work on The Village Centre, its landmark residential and commercial precinct at the heart of the Village. The Design Approval for the project came through on 16 July and Indigo is likely to begin on-site construction in August this year. A selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments are now available from $290,000. A sales suite showcasing The Village Centre will be open at Kelvin Grove Urban Village in early September. For more information about The Village Centre, contact Indigo on (07) 3830 1000 or info@indigogroup.com.au. |

New website spreads Village news |
|
||||
The Kelvin Grove Urban Village has a brand new website, with a new design, new features and more information. The latest news appears on the home page so it is easy to keep up with developments at the Village. The website also has more photographs, depicting actual sites and locations that are for sale or under development, as well as completed projects such as the Creative Industries Precinct. Potential residents can read about the benefits of living there in the “Living in the Village” section, which also has information about the residential projects currently underway. Developers, planners and designers can use the “Development Opportunities” section to access the Design Guidelines for the Village and register interest in any sites for sale. The new website is expected to be an excellent resource for students, with an increasing number of schools and universities incorporating the Village into their curriculum for subject areas ranging from art and geography at school through to architecture and urban planning at university. |

What's happening at the Village |
|
||||
Here is a brief update on recent developments at the Village: QUT's $50 million Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (on Lot 25) is now under construction. Queensland Premier Peter Beattie officially turned the first sod in a ceremony on 5 July 2004. The landscaping and shade structures in the northern parade ground have now been completed. Named Parer Place after the renowned war photographer Damian Parer, this public park is surrounded by Creative Industries Precinct buildings. Work is underway on an outdoor lift giving public access from Musk Avenue up to the Terrace area of the Creative Industries Precinct (and La Boite's Roundhouse Theatre). The lift is due for completion in September this year. |
