Chermside Centre Suburban Renewal Precinct

Brisbane is one of Australia’s fastest-growing capital cities and we’re working with communities to help deliver new homes sooner, while protecting the lifestyle that makes our city so special. Learn more about our suburban renewal precincts.

Chermside is one of Brisbane’s major centres, supporting the northern suburbs and the wider region with significant retail, commercial, health care services and housing.

Well connected to the city and other suburban centres, Chermside Centre is supported by high‑frequency buses with a central interchange and services along Gympie Road.

The precinct and surrounding areas are home to popular community and recreation facilities including the Chermside Aquatic Centre and Water Park, Chermside Library, Marchant Park, 7th Brigade Park and the Brisbane North Hockey Centre.

We're working with the community to create a suburban renewal precinct plan to:

• increase housing choice
• maximise local transport connections
• enhance the area's subtropical character
• expand opportunities for the local economy.

We'll use technical investigations, community feedback and Queensland Government feedback to develop the plan.

Once it has gone through relevant stages, it will be adopted into Brisbane City Plan 2014 (City Plan) and used to guide and assess property development.
