Bargara development site set for auction

A development site at Lot 206 Rifle Range Road, in the coastal Bundaberg suburb of Bargara, is set to be auctioned in September.

The 59300 square metre site is 3.8 kilometres from Kelly’s Beach, and 5 kilometres from the suburb’s commercial precinct.

The block of land is designated as ‘Low Density Residential’ by the local council.

Ray White Special Projects Queensland agents Mark Creevey and Tony Williams are marketing the property.

Creevey said the location would appeal to developers.

It is speculated the adjacent Palm Lakes Bargara lifestyle resort intends could acquire the block.

Creevey expects an array of interested investors.

“'Low Density Residential' allows for other residential activities including dual occupancy dwelling, manufactured home estate (MHE), residential aged care facility and retirement facility (subject to council approval),” Creevey advised. 

Bargara has expanded significantly in recent years, with substantial infrastructure investments in the area making it popular with tourists and retirees.

There are future projects such as the planned $3.8 million Hughes Road extension, and $5.68 million Bundaberg airport expansion.

The auction will take place on September 6.
