Kelvin Grove Urban Village, Mixed-use urban development in Brisbane, Australia.
Kelvin Grove Urban Village is a mixed-use residential and commercial development that includes housing, Queensland University of Technology facilities, shops, and offices. The Village Shopping Centre provides a supermarket, specialty retailers, restaurants, and underground parking for residents and visitors.
The site was formerly a military barracks that the Queensland Department of Housing purchased in 2000. A partnership between the state and the university transformed the grounds into a contemporary residential and educational precinct.
The Roundhouse Theatre stands out as a circular performance space that hosts productions and educational events within the village. Its unique design allows audiences to experience theater from all angles, creating an interactive relationship between performers and spectators.
The village is adjacent to the Queensland University of Technology campus and well-served by public transportation. Visitors can explore the shopping center, walk through the residential areas, and navigate the connected pathways without difficulty.
The Gona Barracks site was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register in 2005, and the assessment found the upper barracks buildings around the parade ground significant as a group rather than individually. QUT's new buildings were sited to reinforce the rectangular form of that old parade ground.
