Council is progressing planning in Narangba East to:
- accommodate future growth including housing, employment and important community infrastructure
- satisfy obligations under the South East Queensland Regional Plan to accommodate future growth. This includes reviewing the long term role of non-urban land in the Urban footprint
- investigate potential employment land to meet long term regional land use needs as identified in the Urban Areas Employment Lands Investigation Report (2021)’ to support jobs in the city area.
The planning investigations for Narangba East will focus on two areas:
Rural Residential Investigation Area (RRIA)
Large areas of rural residential land were identified in the 2012 Narangba East Strategy as requiring environmental health assessments to be undertaken in response to their proximity to the Narangba Innovation Precinct. Council is undertaking investigations within the RRIA to assess the suitability of future urban uses including potential employment uses to inform long term land use directions. This does not assume all land within the RRIA will be suitable for future urban development. This will be established through detailed planning as part of the investigations.
Emerging Community Zone (Interim Precinct) Area
Detailed planning will be done to identify preferred locations for future centres, parks, open space or community infrastructure and facilities, and key connections focused around the Narangba train station to provide a community focus and placemaking outcomes.
