* High profile location - southern entry to town * Very adaptable property - 48,800m2 * DCA approval for service station & serviced apartments * Zoned TC (Tourist Commercial) * Last substantial parcel of land available * Suits a variety of developemnts * Formerly a drive-in Lot 1604 Stuart Highway, Town of Alice Springs is located approximately halfway along the existing CBD to Airport corridor. The site is 7 km from the town centre. Total land area is 48,800 square metres. An allotment this large and in such a prominent location allows for numerous development opportunities. The site is relatively flat. Under the Alice Springs Town Plan the property is zoned TC -Tourist Commercial. This allows for a variety of developments. The Zoning Table (see pictures for a printable version) identifies types of developments that are possible with this zoning. The vendors have a current approval from the Development Consent Authority (D.C.A.) for the "Desert Rest Solar Holiday Village". This innovative development allows for the construction of 260 one & two bedroom serviced apartments with a restaurant, gym and function rooms. At one corner of the development are a service station, convenience store and 20 cabins for overnight accommodation. Lot 1604 is an exciting development opportunity. The approved development could be started with-out delay. Alternatively, buyers may choose to use the existing plans as inspiration for a completely new multi-use facility. This development site is outside the Todd river floodplain. It is not effected by any 1% (Q100) land liable flooding. The Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority has identified a number of trees on the site as of significance to Aboriginal people. These trees must be retained in any future development. Also, the existing Drive-In screen is the only remaining screen in the NT. This screen as well as part of the original projection room are Heritage listed and must be incorporated in any future development. The current DCA approved development addresses both of these issues.

The following is an introduction from the Desert Knowledge website www.desertknowledge.com.au "Semi-arid and arid lands ('deserts') cover over two-thirds of Australia. Our nation values these heartlands for their unspoiled, remote and unique environments. One third of the world's land surface is desert and these regions are inhabited by about one billion people or one sixth of the world's population. Desert Knowledge Australia is working towards developing 'thriving desert knowledge economies', through the building of networks and partnerships across desert Australia to create an economically and socially sustainable future. These 'thriving economies' will be formed in association with other desert regions around the world." We invite you to explore the Desert Knowledge website to learn more about this exciting centre which has global scope. Lot 1604 Stuart Highway Alice Springs is the last substantial property available in close proximity to Alice Springs. Alice is the "capital of inland Australia". Residents and tourist to the Red Centre enjoy stunning scenery, an idyllic climate and a unique lifestyle. The Finke Desert Race, the Henley On Todd, the Camel Cup and the Master Games are iconic events that attract thousands of visitors from all over the world. Council Rates - $9,590 pa
