About the Nathan, Salisbury, Moorooka Neighbourhood Plan
Council has finalised its work with residents and businesses to create a new neighbourhood plan for Nathan, Salisbury and Moorooka.
On 28 March 2025, the Queensland Government endorsed the revised neighbourhood plan for adoption.
In May 2025, Council decided to adopt the plan, which will become effective in Brisbane City Plan 2014 (City Plan) on 27 June 2025.
Neighbourhood plans help guide future development and coordinate land use and infrastructure over a 10-year period and beyond.
Public consultation
The draft Nathan, Salisbury, Moorooka Neighbourhood Plan was open for public consultation from 13 May to 16 June 2024. Council reviewed the draft neighbourhood plan based on formal submissions received and made changes. Read the consultation report.
Why do we need a new neighbourhood plan?
Brisbane is growing. More people are looking for places to live that are convenient to work, services and parks. Businesses are also embracing opportunities for renewal and diversification.
Nathan, Salisbury and Moorooka will continue to grow in popularity as a place to live and work as this area is close to major employment, health, education, sporting and public transport facilities. A new neighbourhood plan will ensure the area continues to look and feel familiar while planning for current and future community needs.
Council has worked with the local community and businesses to:
-
review the development potential of industrial, commercial and residential areas to facilitate employment growth and enhance liveability
-
capitalise on significant infrastructure investment, including education and sporting facilities in the area
-
protect character residential areas in key locations
-
protect and enhance the environmental and biodiversity values of Toohey Forest and the area’s creek corridors
-
enhance streetscapes and walkability between major employment areas, residential areas and public transport infrastructure.
