Council has begun work on a new planning scheme, and it is worth explaining why this is such an important piece of work for our community.

Growth is a part of our future and now is our opportunity to harness it to create a lifestyle that is the envy of every city in Australia.

We're setting a path forward now, so we can make the most of all the benefits that come with growth and development, rather than letting it happen to us.

The advantage of doing this in 2026 is that we've seen what does and doesn't work both here and abroad. We can use those learnings to build a city that meets the needs of our residents right now and decades into the future.

We want a city that reflects the many different communities we already have and make them even better by improving connectivity, facilities and green spaces so we can welcome more people to our beautiful city.

Accommodating growth doesn't have to mean creating a singular city centre with its congestion, high costs and urban sprawl. That's why we're championing a polycentric city model – a city with multiple, vibrant centres, built around communities we already know, like Caboolture, Redcliffe, North Lakes, Petrie and Strathpine.

That means more jobs closer to home, less time stuck in traffic, more housing opportunities to live, work and play in your own community, and protected areas for rural and natural landscapes.

Be a part of something bigger by helping us to reimagine what your city looks like.
