Biota Street Inala Village Precinct Project
Brisbane City Council completed a $500,000 streetscape improvement project in mid-2019 to refresh the Biota Street strip of shops in Inala. The Biota Street, Inala Village Precinct Project delivered streetscape infrastructure to contribute to and encourage local economic development and enhance the sense of place at this neighbourhood centre.
Council is committed to creating a city of neighbourhoods, a key principle of the Brisbane Future Blueprint, and maintaining our vibrant suburban centres and the upgrades to the Biota Street shops will help to ensure that Inala remains a great neighbourhood place for the local community.
