AN IPSWICH suburb could be set to hear gospel under new proposals to build a place of worship at Blacksoil.
The Ipswich City Gospel Trust has submitted a development application to Ipswich City Council to build a church on Lot 1 at 29 Eleazar Drive.
The subject site falls within the large lot residential zone, with proposed Lot 1 being 3,200 square metres with a 44-metre frontage.
The site was approved in October 2023 for subdividing one lot into four and providing an access easement.
The church would be next to an existing childcare centre at 19 Eleazar Drive and would operate between the hours of 6am to 8pm, Monday to Sunday.
It is estimated around 40 people would attend two church services each week for around an hour.
The church building is one storey high and would have 4m wide landscape buffers along both side boundaries.
The location is in a koala priority area and features mapped core koala habitat although the development does not propose interfering with koala habitat.
