Kelvin Grove Urban Village

The Kelvin Grove Urban Village is a 16 hectare master-planned community that demonstrates best practice in sustainable, mixed-use urban development.

It is situated just two kilometres from Brisbane's central business district, on the site of the former Gona Army Barracks and neighbouring land which was mostly inaccessible to the public.

A partnership between the Department of Communities and Queensland University of Technology, the Kelvin Grove Urban Village is an award-winning development setting a new benchmark for inner urban development. The $1 billion committed to the site has delivered infrastructure, commercial, educational and recreational facilities.
