Building is set to get underway on the first Transit Oriented Development (TOD) in Brisbane under a new Queensland Government plan.

The Milton Apartments were designed under the South East Queensland Region Plan 2009-2031 (SEQRP), the developers proud to be ‘leading the way’ in sustainable design.

Australian practice DBI is behind the design for the tower and mixed-used devolpment which will incorporate residential apartments, offices and retail.

A key element of the Queensland Government’s SEQRP is the TOD, planning concept that sees the integration of a rapid, high frequency transport service with residential and commercial real estate, as well as spaces for community use.

The implementation of TOD has been identified as an efficient means of promoting public transport as a means of travel, while reducing dependency on cars.

The Milton Apartments development incorporates the principles of TOD into its design, with direct adjacency to the Milton Railway Station.

The Milton is two rails stops from the city, and one rail stop from the Roma Street Transit Centre, which connects the CBD to suburban Brisbane, as well as the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.

The Milton Railway Station will also be the subject of a multi-million dollar transformation, including new public amenities and ticketing areas, increase visibility across platforms and improved access from Milton Road and Railway Terrace.

The railway station refurbishment will convert the existing station into a sleek modern environment that will not only encourage the residents of the development to use, but will also promote rail travel as a convenient and sustainable alternative to the wider Milton community.
