City of Moreton Bay is planning for our city’s future growth. As part of this, we’re proposing an amendment to the Planning Scheme to include a long-term plan for the Morayfield South Emerging Community Area. It also includes a separate change to the Council’s city-wide designated bushfire prone areas to improve bushfire resilience and public safety for certain classes of new buildings.

The proposed Major Planning Scheme Amendment No. 4 - Morayfield South Emerging Community Area and Designated Bushfire Prone Areas has two key components:

  • Morayfield South Emerging Community Area Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) response, including updated Structure Plan
  • changes to Council’s city-wide designated bushfire prone area rules for all zones in the city to improve bushfire hazard resilience and public safety.

On 8 October 2025, Council approved the updated proposed Major Planning Scheme Amendment No. 4 - Morayfield South Emerging Community Area and Designated Bushfire Prone Areas for community consultation. The consultation period will be open from Monday 13 October 2025 and close at midnight on Friday 7 November 2025.
