Description: Positioned in the centre of Evans Head's town centre precinct, this exceptional site offers the potential for a four-storey mixed-use development (STCA) incorporating activated commercial space and premium residential apartments just moments from the beach, river and village centre. Following preliminary discussions with Richmond Valley Council's planning department, there is strong encouragement for a project of this nature to deliver the next stage of Evans Head's commercial and residential evolution. With the town surrounded by national parkland and limited opportunity for further expansion, the focus is shifting toward thoughtful vertical development - making this site one of the most significant opportunities currently available. Concept discussions suggest the potential for approximately 2,000m² of activated ground-floor commercial space, ideal for a mix of professional services, medical or allied health suites, cafés, restaurants and boutique retail. Council feedback has also highlighted support for flexible commercial tenancies with the potential for arcade-style connectivity, creating an engaging pedestrian environment and vibrant streetscape. Above, the site presents the opportunity for high-quality residential apartments (STCA), designed in accordance with modern apartment design principles and capitalising on the area's coastal lifestyle. With no other central commercial development sites of this scale currently available in Evans Head, the property offers developers the chance to create a genuine destination for both locals and visitors. Key Development Features: Council support for height variation beyond the current 8.5m limit, allowing potential four-storey development (STCA). Zero boundary setbacks permissible, maximising the development envelope. North-east street frontage, ideal for cafés, restaurants and outdoor dining activation. Potential for premium residential apartments above commercial spaces. Rear lane access, supporting efficient parking and construction logistics. Existing infrastructure positioning allows development without lane widening requirements. Rooftop potential for resident amenities, hospitality venues or ocean-view activation. Ability to incorporate grease traps and flexible services for food and beverage tenancies (STCA). Public domain support for footpath cafés and outdoor dining. Strategic Planning Advantages: Positive early engagement with Richmond Valley Council planning staff. Council support for developments that activate the town centre, create employment and improve the streetscape. Evans Head is geographically constrained by surrounding national parks, encouraging well-designed vertical development. Planning precedents exist within the Richmond Valley LGA for height variations beyond 8.5m. Investment Highlights: One of the last large-scale mixed-use development opportunities in Evans Head. Prime location within walking distance of Evans River, Main Beach, shops and hospitality venues. Opportunity to deliver a vibrant commercial and residential precinct for the growing coastal community. Strong lifestyle destination attracting tourism, sea-change buyers and long-term residents. Evans Head continues to evolve as one of the Northern Rivers' most sought-after coastal towns. With council support and growing demand for quality residential apartments and commercial space, this site presents the opportunity to deliver a project that will help shape the town's future.
