Brisbane’s sustainable
growth strategy
COUNCILLOR ADAM ALLAN, CIVIC
CABINET CHAIR, CITY PLANNING
AND SUBURBAN RENEWAL
“Council recognises that the type of housing
residents are seeking to call home will change
over time to reflect their different lifestyles. …
Our Suburban Renewal Precinct initiative will
look to expand the residential footprint of
Brisbane into areas that may have previously
had a commercial or light industry use.
“Council has already identified 70 hectares
across 14 sites that are suitable for transition
to mixed-use opportunities. At these vibrant
mixed-use sites, we will consider a range of
housing choices, including townhouses,
apartments and other housing solutions.
“This will create more locations for
housing while revitalising light industrial
and commercial areas, making them
more attractive to new residents and
existing owners.”
