2025 Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) adoption
City of Moreton Bay has adopted a TLPI for a defined area of Burpengary and Narangba which is within the Narangba East Rural Residential Investigation Area (RRIA). The TLPI puts a pause on urban development such as subdivisions and gives Council time to complete strategic planning for the area, which has already begun through the Narangba East Planning Investigation (NEPI).
On 18 June 2025, Council adopted the TLPI after approval from the State Planning Minister. The TLPI is effective from 18 June 2025 and is in place for 12 months, unless repealed sooner.
The TLPI applies to an approximately 443-hectare area within the Narangba East RRIA, which can potentially support up to 10,500 future jobs. Click on this map to see the area. We have written to more than 3400 landowners and residents within the RRIA and surrounding area to let them know the TLPI has been adopted and what it means for their property (letters will be received in the week commencing 23 July 2025).
The TLPI enables us to put in place temporary planning regulations for new development in an area where regulation is urgently needed.
The Narangba East TLPI was introduced to:
- restrict inconsistent and premature urban development, including subdivision, that could limit orderly development and future uses
- maintain and support current development and land use rights for landowners consistent with the rural residential zoning, for example: adding an extension, shed or renovation to their property
- give us time to complete planning investigations, conduct community and industry consultation, and ultimately provide a clear and effective long-term plan for the area.
There are no proposals for Council to acquire or resume land for industrial development in this area due to the TLPI.
