Upper Mt Gravatt Centre Suburban Renewal Precinct
We’re revitalising Upper Mt Gravatt Centre to boost housing and local jobs while enhancing the area’s unique character.
About the plan
Why this plan matters
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.
A precinct plan updates planning rules that are used to assess new development, so growth and renewal can happen in a coordinated and strategic way. Learn more about our suburban renewal precincts.
Why Upper Mt Gravatt Centre?
Upper Mt Gravatt is one of Brisbane’s principal centres, servicing southern Brisbane and beyond with shopping, entertainment and employment opportunities.
It is well connected to Brisbane’s city centre and the broader region via road, public and active transport networks. Community, recreation and park facilities are located in and around Upper Mt Gravatt including the library, sporting fields and nearby Mt Gravatt Outlook Reserve.

Community consultation
Community consultation on the draft Upper Mt Gravatt Centre Suburban Renewal Precinct Plan was open from 21 August to 20 September 2026. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback.
Council is now considering community submissions and will prepare a final plan.
Following a review of submissions, Council will also write to everyone who has made a properly made submission on the proposed changes and will publish a copy of the consultation report online.
If adopted, the final plan will form part of City Plan, our local planning scheme that is used to guide and assess future development.
How the plan is developed
We are using technical investigations, community feedback and Queensland Government feedback to develop the plan.
The current phase of the project is the review of community submissions to help refine the draft 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.
Read the draft precinct plan (public consultation version)
The draft plan outlined an exciting long-term vision for the area and was released for public consultation in August 2026.
Focused on the Upper Mt Gravatt Centre and Logan Road precincts, the draft plan sought to:
- increase housing choice close to services, jobs and business
- maximise connections between residences and businesses with the Upper Mt Gravatt Busway, Metro and the V1 Veloway running along the Pacific Motorway
- embrace the area's outdoor lifestyle and subtropical character by encouraging new buildings to include landscaping, shade and climate-appropriate design
- expand opportunities for the local economy by identifying an appropriate mix of business, retail, personal and community services, and facilities.
Summary of proposed changes (public consultation version)
