Multiple Dwelling and Short-term accommodation (101 units)

The project aspires to set a new benchmark for coastal high-rise living on the Gold Coast, enriching both the Broadbeach skyline and the experience of those who call it home.

The City of Gold Coast at Full Council has just resolved to approve Rana at 16-20 Twenty Third Avenue, Palm Beach.
Rana is a thoughtfully designed 13-storey multi-residential building, delivering 54 high-quality apartments in a mix of two and three bedroom residences.

While achieving a vertical scale, Rana is carefully designed to integrate into its surrounding low-rise residential context. The building employs recessive detailing, natural materiality, and a human-scaled podium to soften its interface with the street. Greenery at the ground plane and within elevated communal spaces reinforces a sense of openness and permeability, ensuring the development feels both inviting and anchored within its setting.

Just moments away from pristine beaches and renowned dining destinations, the City of Gold Coast has resolved to APPROVE ‘153-155 Old Burleigh Road, Broadbeach.’ The proposed development will revitalise the corner site (currently improved by an older development ‘Sandpiper Beachfront Apartments’) in providing a mix of unit typologies to contribute to the mix of apartments within Broadbeach and for the City.

DETAILS – Development Permit for Material change of use (code assessment) for Multiple dwelling (210 units).

A giant beachfront super tower in central Broadbeach has been approved by Council officers. The site is currently improved by the development known as ‘Voyager’ however this will be demolished to make way for the Development Approval for a Food and Drink outlet and 130 Residential Units across the 59-storey tower. Once built this mega structure will be Broadbeach’s tallest beachside tower.

This prestigious residential tower, positioned as an iconic gateway to Surfers Paradise, combines luxurious coastal living with sophisticated architectural design, offering panoramic views, exceptional amenities and a seamless integration with its Gold Coast setting.

Request for Change (Other) to a Development permit pursuant to Section 78 of the Planning Act 2016 for a Material change of use for Multiple dwelling (28 units).

FINAL JUDGEMENT – APPROVED!

Ever had a project that everyone supported but the assessment authorities still put every hurdle available in the way of the approval?
So have we!

Despite that, UPS Urban Planning Services has been lucky to be working with the country’s premier boat builder Maritimo and have assisted in winning the Planning and Environment Court appeal that approves the last remaining site in the Gold Coast Marine Precinct, providing a mixed-use marine and general industrial site of just under 58 hectares.

UPS prepared the Preliminary Approval and associated Plan of Development and Development Code that has been approved by the Court providing flexibility for marine industrial, general industrial and a wide range of supporting retail and commercial land uses. The approval also secures development rights to fill the site to a specific extent, including agreed loss of floodplain storage and acceptable impact, ensuring certainty regarding development extent and yield.

Thanks to the team and particularly Maritimo for their dedication to achieving a great result.
