These three properties together are on the market for the first time, this presents as an unmissable opportunity for a land developer, or forward-thinking investor ready to secure three sizeable, side-by-side allotments on three separate titles in one-line.

Occupying a significant corner block with main and side street access, the combined land size is 2586sqm and together the three allotments have over 42m frontage along Brisbane Road and 52m frontage on Dudleigh Street. The dual entry is a major benefit when it comes to future redevelopment planning.

All three blocks currently have tenanted properties on site which are returning a sound income over $1500 per week, and offer potential to improve these yields via rental increases. This is excellent guaranteed income for any land banker considering their next move or for new owners when entering planning phase with local council.

The two properties on Brisbane Road sit under a commercial zoning MC01S, whilst the property on Dudleigh Street is zoned RM03 medium density.
