MBRC Planning Scheme - Redcliffe Kippa-Ring local plan

The SEQ Regional plan designates Redcliffe and Kippa-Ring as a Major Regional Activity Centre. The Redcliffe Kippa-Ring local plan (found in Part 7 of the planning scheme) is used to manage land use and development in the area through a range of interim zones and precincts. 

The purpose of the Redcliffe Kippa-Ring local plan code is to provide interim planning measures that support the development of the area as a higher order centre but do not compromise the long term outcomes identified through the completion of a future Redcliffe Activity Centre Strategy.

Generally, the local plan reflects the intent of existing zones and preferred use areas in the historic Redcliffe City Planning Scheme. The table below explains each of the interim precincts in the Redcliffe and Kippa-Ring local plan area.
