This one has just come to my attention,

Big block of land, could be zoned industrial (not 100% sure just yet)

unfortunately, its basically on the train line,

just brain storming, 3 story apartment block? 2 story x single level units? townhouses?

Interesting site and neighbourhood. Zoned R1Z with the only overlay being a development contributions plan. After a quick skim there is a local policy for land adjacent to the rail corridor...

Precinct L: Taunton Avenue East
It is policy to:

• achieve higher density residential development.
• encourage development to overlook the railside path.
• utilise the land adjacent to the railway line for improved open space

Even though the area is predominately single storey detached dwellings at present, I could see a well designed medium density development being approved without too many issues.
