Green light for Narangba Innovation Precinct public feedback
Published 08 April 2026
- City of Moreton Bay’s proposed Narangba Innovation Precinct (East) Planning Scheme Amendment will move to public consultation.
- The State has approved a 12-month continuation of the current Temporary Local Planning Instrument to enable Council to finalise the Planning Scheme Amendment and collect important community feedback.
- Unlocking key land in the already established industrial zone will create nearly 600 new Special Industries jobs and inject $129 million into the local economy within the Narangba Innovation Precinct (East).
City of Moreton Bay’s plan to create future jobs within the Narangba Innovation Precinct has been given the green light by the State Government to proceed to public consultation.
Council’s proposed Narangba Innovation Precinct Planning Scheme Amendment aims to create 600 new Special Industries jobs within a designated area of the existing precinct, while also implementing health and safety protections such as increased air quality controls.
In the meantime, City of Moreton Bay has proposed a 12-month continuation of the current TLPI for the Minister’s review, so Council can work towards the associated Planning Scheme Amendment.
Mayor Peter Flannery said the proposed TLPI would mirror the same conditions currently in place under the existing TLPI, which is set to expire on 26 July 2026.
“We are pleased that the State Government supports Council seeking feedback on our proposed plan to create hundreds of new specialised jobs and benefit our City’s growing population by activating industrial land uses at the established Narangba Innovation Precinct,” he said.
“It’s important that our residents have opportunities to work close to home for lifestyle and affordability factors, while adding a further $129 million to our local economy and improving investor confidence locally.
“We completed extensive environmental health studies between 2020 and 2024 to inform the viability of these proposed changes.
“If approved, these changes will strike a better balance between safeguarding the community and supporting critical growth and investment in the Narangba Innovation Precinct, including for special industry uses.”
Council officers will now prepare a report outlining the next steps through the statutory Planning Scheme Amendment process to adoption.
This will include an opportunity for residents to have their say during a statutory consultation period, pending Council’s approval of the report.
