Brisbane’s inner city is the driving force behind our rise as a global city and the social, cultural and economic centrepiece of South East Queensland. Since 2000, Council’s urban renewal program has successfully transformed underutilised and former industrial land.
Revitalised areas including New Farm, Teneriffe and Newstead have become vibrant, mixed-use communities that contribute to Brisbane’s economic and cultural growth.
Our urban renewal program focuses on precincts within 5km of the city centre that are well serviced by existing or planned infrastructure.
Council's strategies seek to leverage future investment and opportunities to unlock housing, and support employment and economic development to create thriving inner-city neighbourhoods.
Brisbane’s Inner City Strategy sets the vision that guides precinct planning and infrastructure delivery in the lead up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games and beyond.
The strategy ensures sustainable growth for our inner city. It enables us to plan and develop connected and thriving precincts, destinations and experiences.
The strategy is based on community and stakeholder collaboration and is grounded in 4 pillars:
A comprehensive program of precinct planning and renewal will accommodate the needs of current and future generations, including more housing and employment opportunities.
