Proposed Local heritage places 

During May-June 2024 consultation, the amendment proposed protecting 30 places across Brisbane as well as a new Local heritage area. In response to submissions, Council decided to proceed with protecting 20 of those places and not to proceed with the proposed Local heritage area. 

To help protect these properties, the amendment presented for public consultation proposed to: 

  • add properties to the Heritage overlay in the Local heritage place sub-category
  • include a new Local heritage area to the Heritage overlay and include houses and land in the Moorooka War Workers' Housing Estate (former)
  • add properties adjoining proposed Local heritage places to the Area adjoining heritage sub-category of the Heritage overlay
  • change the overlay of some properties from Traditional building character to the Heritage overlay
  • change the zone of one property from Emerging community to the Low density residential zone and adding it to the Dwelling house character overlay.
