Pipeline of Tower Plans Keeps Rising on Chevron Island

The Gold Coast’s Chevron Island continues to be a pin cushion for proposed tower developments with new plans filed for a 23-storey residential highrise. Earmarked for the northern side of the island enclave along the Surfers Paradise stretch of the Nerang River, the latest proposal comprises 76 apartments. The mix of units from one to four bedrooms would rise above a two-level podium and four basement carparking levels. Lodged with the Gold Coast City Council by Ben Scott Taylor, the development is proposed for a 1012sq m site spanning two lots at 8-10 Kalyan Street. Property records show the amalgamated corner holding with frontages to Kalyan and Parneno streets was acquired last year in separate transactions for a combined $3.52 million. Levels 3 to 20 of the proposed tower each would accommodate four one, two and three-bedroom units while four half-floor four-bedroom apartments would occupy levels 21 and 22. “The proposed 23-storey residential building is designed to offer a luxurious, modern living experience while being sensitive to its prominent corner location and the unique environmental, social, and aesthetic qualities of the area,” the planning documents said. ▲ A rendering of the proposed 23-storey Chevron Island tower ’ s rooftop and views. “The design strikes a balance between maximising spectacular views and maintaining privacy, ensuring the building integrates harmoniously with the surrounding urban context. “The goal is to deliver a product that is market-competitive in price without sacrificing quality.” The scheme has been designed by architects Raunik Design Group and features 493sq m of communal open space. Level 2 would provide indoor communal facilities such as gymnasium, lounge and bike storage while at level 23 a rooftop terrace with outdoor communal open spaces—including a pool, sun lounge, barbecue and dining areas—would crown the tower. “The design prioritises generous, well-integrated communal spaces that encourage interaction among residents while also offering moments of privacy and tranquility,” the documents said. ▲ Renderings of the proposed 23-storey Chevron Island tower comprising 76 apartments.
