A potential development option to consider would be to subdivided the site into 2 lots and construct a Dwelling house on the newly created vacant lot, and construct a Dwelling house on the lot that contains the church building which would become part of the residential use of the site.

The subdivision and potential dwelling house designs would need to comply with the requirements of Council’s Heritage overlay code and State code 14: Queensland heritage.
