THE development of a 104hectare parcel of land in Moranbah will be fast-tracked to improve supply of residential land and ease housing affordability in the township.

A range of dwellings are planned for the site and it's estimated 1500 homes could eventually be built there, while there are also plans for a commercial activity centre, which would include a primary school site and five parks.

The Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA) yesterday approved a proposal to work with Isaac Regional Council to expedite development on the council-owned Grosvenor Drive site.

It was one of two housing boosts in Moranbah yesterday, with a development application to deliver up to 150 new homes also given the green light.
