Southern Downs Regional Council is calling for expressions of interest for purchase of this unique property. The 8.77ha property is located in the vibrant Queensland country city of Warwick.
We envisage the property appealing to end users with interests in the field of Education, Sport, Health, Industry Training Facilities, or Aged Care and other forms of Accommodation uses, or for residential development.
There is a possibility of developing the 4.016ha Northern Oval allotment for future residential use, given the fact it is already subdivided into 14 x 1000m2 parcels, with the 15th lot being 2.2ha allowing for possible subdivision into additional building allotments.
This prestigous former school campus is on 8.77ha high above the Condamine River with stunning views to town.

It features approximately 27 buildings including dormitories, dining hall with modern kitchen, fixed and demountable classrooms, halls and a chapel.
Across Horsman Road are sporting facilities including an oval and cricket nets, and the campus has a 20 metre outdoor swimming pool.
It is also five minutes to the Warwick CBD, and the Warwick Indoor Aquatic and Recreation Centre (WIRAC), and close to other schools in the area.
This prime site is perfect for residential / commerical development or retrofit as an education or conference facility.
Warwick Shire, in the heart of Queenslands rich Darling Downs, not only generates some
of Australias best agricultural produce but also offers an ideal environment for business and
industry growth.
The vibrant country centre is located at the junction of the New England and Cunningham
highways-two of the most important interstate road routes in Australia. The New England
highway is the major inland route from Brisbane to Sydney and the Cunningham Highway
(Brisbane to Goondiwindi) links with the Newell Highway, the major route from Brisbane to
Melbourne. Warwick is just 2 hours by road from Brisbane, two hours from the Gold Coast and 50 minutes to Toowoomba.
Warwick City has a population in excess of 12,000 with the district claiming over 32,000
people.
The Southern Downs Regional Council has taken a progressive approach to encourage business and
industry activity in the region.
