“By focusing on anti-sprawl, we protect Brisbane’s unique lifestyle while creating opportunity and greater housing choice for the next generation.

“This is about delivering new homes for Brisbane families while ensuring our suburbs remain the best places to live, work and relax.”

The plan shares some similarities with Sydney’s Transport Oriented Development scheme, which allows higher-density development within 400 metres of more than 30 significant train and metro stations.

New housing will be centred around Indooroopilly shopping centre and train station, the Westfield Carindale Shopping Centre and bus interchange, and Nundah Village shopping centre and station.
