A revised development application has been submitted for a 101-story skyscraper on the Gold Coast, aiming to surpass the Q1 building and become Australia’s tallest structure.

Standing at 400 meters, the proposed development, named One Park Lane, has sparked ongoing conversations about the future of Southport’s Central Business District.

First proposed in 2022, the project encountered delays due to negotiations with the state government regarding a laneway.

The development includes residential units in the primary tower and a 60-storey commercial building, connected by a bridge.

“Southport truly needs more residential and commercial spaces to thrive,” expressed Matt Justum from One Park Lane Developments.

“This project will unify the area around Park Lane, placing the residential tower on one side of the road and the commercial tower on the opposite side.”

The developers hope to begin construction by Christmas.

“This building really just sets the stage for what CB CBD is gonna be” Councillor Brooke Patterson said.

While the tower would be the tallest in Australia, it would still be significantly smaller than the world’s tallest building, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa.

Unlike the rest of the city, there is no height restrictions for new builds in the CBD.

The proposal has elicited varied reactions from the local community.

While some residents expressed support, concerns have been raised by the Southport RSL, which neighbours the proposed site, about the potential impact on its operations.

The project’s fate now rests with council.
