A new fast-food restaurant and revamped service station are set to bring fresh changes to Tingalpa, as plans for an Oporto outlet and improvements to an existing EG site have officially been given the green light.
Project Timeline and Approval
The detailed Construction Management Plan for the site at 841 Manly Road, Tingalpa received approval on 17 June 2025. The project, lodged by Melrose Built Pty Ltd, will roll out in two stages, with works scheduled to continue until December this year. Site preparation began earlier this month, with demolition and earthworks leading the way for the new Oporto store and drive-through.
What’s Changing at the Site
According to the approved documents, the development will see a brand new Oporto building added to the site, complete with architectural, structural and landscaping works. The project also covers upgrades to the existing EG service station. The fuel setup will be scaled back from eight dispensers to four, while the air and water system will be moved to suit the updated layout. Other works include new retaining walls, refreshed landscaping and new car park linemarking to manage the flow of traffic.
Keeping Traffic and Neighbours in Mind
The plan includes measures to limit disruptions for residents and road users. Trucks and machinery will stick to designated entry and exit routes on Manly Road, and temporary fencing, clear signage and footpath detours will help keep pedestrians safe. The site’s working hours run from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Saturday, with no work on Sundays or public holidays unless extra permissions are granted.
To manage dust, noise and vibration from heavy excavation, Melrose Built has outlined steps such as using noise-suppressed equipment and notifying neighbours in advance if noisy rock-breaking works are needed. A contact person will be on call for community concerns, and any damage to local footpaths or roads will be repaired as directed by council officers.
Environmental Protections and Community Updates
The plan also addresses environmental safeguards. Controls like silt socks and special washout areas for paint and plaster waste will help keep stormwater clean during construction. Any possible soil contamination will be assessed and handled by licensed specialists if required.
Melrose Built says neighbours can expect letterbox updates and signage with contact details to help the community stay informed throughout the works. Workers will be encouraged to carpool or use off-site parking to ease pressure on local streets.
When finished, the site will feature new landscaping, outdoor dining areas and improved traffic flow, aiming to add another convenient food option for locals and travellers alike.
