Estimated investment allocation per development category. Preliminary figures subject to final contractor agreements.
Each development zone serves a distinct function within the Eco 500™ self-contained ecosystem.
High-end residential targeting affluent owner-occupiers and investors. Eco-friendly construction materials, embedded solar, smart home tech, and EV charging bays. Premium street frontage, landscaped gardens, and community walkways. The economic engine of the development — driving land value uplift across all other zones.
Affordable, sustainable housing designed for $100–$150/week occupancy. Modular construction with minimal environmental footprint. Communal green spaces, shared amenity hubs, and integrated GAC (GreenCharge) solar systems. The social backbone of Eco 500™ — housing pensioners, families, job seekers, and key workers with dignity.
Mixed-use office, retail, and commercial facilities serving the local resident economy. Positioned adjacent to the shopping centre precinct for maximum foot traffic. Includes co-working spaces, SME tenancies, and government service offices. Designed to create local employment and reduce out-of-precinct commuting.
Large-scale Westfield-style commercial hub with retail, dining, and entertainment. Anchor tenant opportunity under a 99-year institutional lease — a structure explored with major shopping centre operators. Will serve the entire mini-city population of 125,000+ residents as well as the surrounding regional catchment.
Eco-friendly, 4–5 star accommodation for domestic tourists, business travellers, and visiting family of residents. Operates within the GreenCharge ecosystem — renewable power, EV fleet charging, and carbon credit generation. Provides short-term stay options during the Eco-Mobile Village move-in transition period.
Primary, secondary, and tertiary education facilities supporting local families. Designed to attract state government co-investment under the National School Infrastructure Program. Includes TAFE-equivalent vocational training for construction trades — supplying the skilled labour pipeline for the Eco 500™ build itself.
General practice, specialist, allied health, and emergency services. Designed to serve the full resident population as well as tourists. Structured to attract Federal Government primary healthcare funding and co-investment from Queensland Health. Includes a dispensary, diagnostic imaging, and telehealth infrastructure.
Parks, formal green spaces, walking and cycling trails, sports courts, community halls, libraries, and playgrounds. Designed using Feng Shui Bagua principles to create harmonious, functional communal zones. Directly supports resident mental health outcomes and the Eco 500™ ethos of liveable, human-scale community design.
Roads, sewerage, water supply, and utility corridors. Renewable energy systems including community-scale solar arrays and battery storage. GreenCharge EV charging network. Stormwater management and water recycling infrastructure. Smart city grid systems — enabling real-time energy monitoring, carbon credit generation, and ACCU reporting under the Australian Carbon Credit Unit framework.
Preserved natural spaces protecting local ecosystem, native flora, and biodiversity corridors. Provides visual and acoustic separation between development precincts. Critical for DA approval and environmental impact compliance. Directly supports GAC (GreenCharge) carbon credit generation under the ERF methodology. Second-largest allocation (12%) — underscoring the genuine ecological commitment of the Eco 500™ master plan.
