Precinct plans and suburban renewal
We're working with communities to revitalise key suburban areas into vibrant, connected villages - with more opportunities to live, work and play.
Suburban renewal precincts
Brisbane is one of Australia’s fastest-growing capital cities and we’re working to help deliver new homes sooner in the right places, while protecting our incredible lifestyle.
We are committed to creating more to see and do in the suburbs, and our suburban renewal precincts focus on bringing smaller or under-utilised suburban areas to life.
Through this program, we are:
- creating opportunities for new homes and jobs
- encouraging investment in infrastructure and services
- celebrating our subtropical lifestyle
- improving walkability, cycling and access to public transport.
Current projects
We're working with the community to create suburban renewal precinct plans for the below areas.
Completed projects
Precinct plan themes
We need more homes for every type of household such as singles, couples and families. We’ll enable this by reviewing zoning and housing options.
We want to create more to see and do. This includes improving public spaces and facilities while creating more opportunities for local shops, dining and businesses.
We can celebrate our outdoor lifestyle. Making sure buildings and public spaces include shade and greenery can make the outdoors more comfortable.
We can maximise our public and active transport networks while making walking and cycling safer and more convenient.
Precinct plans help to achieve targets in the Queensland Government's South East Queensland Regional Plan 2023 (ShapingSEQ 2023) and are part of City Plan.
Creating better suburbs
The Better Suburbs Initiative investigates opportunities for renewal in suburbs outside the city's inner 5 kilometres.
The initiative aims to:
- identify renewal opportunities in key suburban areas, working with local investors and the community
- facilitate a coordinated approach to infrastructure delivery, planning and development across Brisbane's suburbs
- ensure successful projects and services are delivered to suburban areas
- set future investment priorities to guide budget decisions and cross-government projects.
The initiative is led by the Better Suburbs Initiative Board.
