A major landholding in Toowoomba’s northern fringe has hit the market, offering developers and builders a rare opportunity to shape one of the region’s fastest-growing precincts. Known as The Willows, the 6.45-hectare parcel at 213 Goombungee Road, Harlaxton is now for sale via Expressions of Interest, with interest expected from across the residential, retirement, and lifestyle development sectors.
The site, just 5.7km from the Toowoomba CBD, is currently improved with an existing aged care facility and boasts a prominent 132m frontage to Goombungee Road. Zoned Low-Medium Density Residential under the Toowoomba Regional Council Planning Scheme, the property is primed for redevelopment (STCA), making it a strategic acquisition in a region undergoing substantial housing demand and infrastructure investment.
Location Meets Liveability
Harlaxton has become a focal point for growth in Toowoomba’s northern corridor, with new residential estates, commercial hubs, and key transport links strengthening the area’s long-term value. The property sits close to Northpoint Shopping Centre, local schools, and St Andrew’s Toowoomba Hospital, making it an ideal candidate for medium-density housing, retirement living, or even healthcare re-use.
The elevation of the land also offers scope for well-designed housing products with views, improved drainage, and attractive street presence, factors increasingly sought after by discerning regional buyers.
Toowoomba’s Momentum Continues
Toowoomba continues to assert itself as a major growth city in Queensland. With a population set to exceed 200,000 by 2041, it remains a key part of the state’s regional housing strategy. Projects like the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing, Inland Rail, and the proposed Wellcamp Aerospace Precinct have further boosted economic activity and confidence in the region.
For developers, this translates to heightened demand for housing that delivers both affordability and lifestyle, particularly for downsizers, first-home buyers, and essential workers. ‘The Willows’ ticks all the boxes: scale, zoning, access, and amenity.

- 6.45-hectare* elevated parcel
- 132m* frontage to Goombungee Road
- Zoned Low-Medium Density Residential
- Only 5.7km from Toowoomba CBD
- Former aged care facility on-site (adaptive reuse potential)
