Sandgate District Neighbourhood Plan

Brisbane City Council is updating the Sandgate District Neighbourhood Plan focusing on Sandgate, Deagon and Shorncliffe.

Council is committed to growing our city while maintaining the character of our suburbs and planning for the future.

This project is just one way Council is ensuring Brisbane is a city of neighbourhoods, where residents are close to the services they need and the lifestyle and leisure opportunities they want.

Council is working with residents to identify key issues in the area. In particular, Council is looking to:

• provide housing choices suitable for residents at all stages of life, so they can stay in their local community
• enhance lifestyle and leisure opportunities, with a focus on Moreton Bay foreshore
• protect neighbourhood character, and character housing valued by the community
• enhance Sandgate district centre as a community hub
• protect the local environment.

Consultation for this phase of the project is now closed.

From March to April community members provided their ideas via an online survey and an interactive map tool about transport, services, environment, housing and local industry in the area. Council is now reviewing the survey and map contributions, which will be considered as part of developing a neighbourhood plan strategy for the project.

Nominations to join the Community Planning Team (CPT) were open from 7 March and closed 5 April 2019. Following a review of the nominations, 25 people were selected to represent the community’s views. The CPT will work with Council in May and June 2019. Notes from these meetings will be published on this page when available. Learn more about how community planning teams work here.

The draft strategy will be available for community comment in late 2019.
