Varsity Station Village
a transit oriented community

Varsity Station Village will be built on a 14 hectare site bounded by the Pacific Motorway, Scottsdale Drive and Coromandel Lane. It will comprise of:

• Varsity Lakes train station
• bus interchange
• retail shops
• commercial offices
• townhouses and apartments (single and family size)
• park and ride facility
• 300 parking spaces for commuters
• parking on the street and underground for shoppers
• pedestrian and cycle pathways and facilities
• parks and green spaces.

The draft Master Plan is due for release in Spring 2008.

Varsity Lakes train station will open in 2010. Construction of Varsity Station Village should start around the time of the station opening.

Community consultation will continue throughout 2008. If you would like to comment on the Varsity Station Village project, please contact the Queensland Transport project team.

What is a transit oriented community?

Transit oriented communities are compact urban villages, built around public transport hubs such as train stations and bus interchanges. They are vibrant centres of activity from early in the day until late in the evening and comprise a mix of housing, commercial offices, retail shops, community facilities, parks and open spaces. Transit oriented communities are designed to reduce the dependence on cars, combat urban sprawl and promote a sense of community.

Varsity Station Village will be a transit oriented community, the first in Queensland to combine the delivery of a new train station with government-lead land development.
