Queens will form an integral part of the Riverside community where residents and visitors can engage in the vibrant entertainment lifestyle or relax in the tranquil surroundings of the Queens Gardens.

This precinct includes two major land holdings – the State Chemical Laboratories (Chemlabs) on the corner of Plain Street and Hay Street and the former Metrobus depot site between Hay Street and Adelaide Terrace.

EPRA is seeking comment on the  Chemlabs draft Design Guidelines. The draft Chemlabs Design Guidelines will provide statutory planning guidance on the land use, built form and design detail for development with the Precinct.
Submissions must be received by close of business Thursday 5 November 2009.

Plans for the Queens site include residential accommodation, a short-stay hotel and apartment suites. A bustling ‘main street’ will extend along Plain Street, between Adelaide Terrace and Hay Street and include a supermarket and multiple eating and shopping facilities and will become a meeting place for local residents.

EPRA sold six sites to Frasers Property Group and TRG Properties Pty Ltd in May 2006 and development has commenced. The Frasers Property Group site includes up to 23 storey mixed-use developments, incorporating residential, restaurant and retail uses and a hotel. TRG Properties developments include 15 three storey townhouses and four storey apartments along Hay Street.
