Stones Corner 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.

Stones Corner is one of Brisbane’s oldest and fastest growing suburbs. The Stones Corner Suburban Renewal Precinct Plan outlines an exciting long-term vision for the iconic suburb including the traditional high street along Logan Road.

We’re focusing on how we can continue to support the vibrant community heart of the suburb focusing on the precinct from Gladys Street to Cornwall Street, including the Logan Road high street and surrounding areas.

Council is finalising its work with the Queensland Government, community and businesses to create a suburban renewal precinct plan that:

• supports more housing to be built
• provides for more employment, education and services near public transport
• creates a vibrant community heart that maintains the unique character of Stones Corner
• improves access to community facilities, including parks, urban spaces, shops and services
• leverages investment in the area (e.g. Hanlon Park / Bur'uda, the busway) and capitalises on local infrastructure
• improves connectivity within and outside the precinct.

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

It’s about striking a balance to encourage more homes sooner in well-serviced areas while protecting Brisbane’s incredible lifestyle.

Following initial community feedback, the draft precinct plan proposes changes to City Plan including:

• zoning and building height changes to support more residential and commercial buildings
• design provisions to help revitalise shopping, dining and entertainment areas, and support new arcades and walkways
• design provisions to ensure development contributes to the local identity and our subtropical climate
• car parking provisions to reflect the area’s high level of transport accessibility.

The draft plan was open for community consultation from 15 October to 19 November 2024. A summary of matters raised in submissions and a response to how these have been considered has been included in a consultation report.

Submitters will be provided with a unique submission reference number, which can be used to identify Council’s response to any feedback in the Consultation report.

The Queensland Government will now review the updated draft plan, which may be subject to further changes.

Once approved, Council will make its final decision about adopting the amendment into City Plan.
