The church prospectus said the site, which has heritage protection development constraints, was open to lease, joint venture or sale or any other arrangement deemed suitable . Commercial real estate specialists Frank Knight have been working with the Anglican Church Southern Queensland since the EOI period ended in October and this week announced negotiations with a Queensland-based party to lease the property for a tourism outcome . Noosa s Heritage-listed Halse Lodge, located only 150m from Hastings St is set for a new leaseholder. The church remained tight lipped as to the identity of the leaseholder for now. ACSQ group property manager Hiro Kawamata said the proposed use of the property would benefit the local tourism industry, local community and economy.
