Feedback is being sought on Brisbane City Council’s proposed Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) for the Kurilpa neighbourhood in South Brisbane.

A local government may prepare a temporary local planning instrument (TLPI) to respond to changing and emerging planning issues.

The proposed TLPI has been prepared to increase housing supply, in response to a high level of housing need, in a part of the city that is well serviced by existing and planned infrastructure and has good access to employment and services.

The purpose of the proposed TLPI is to increase housing supply in Kurilpa area and includes increased building heights for higher density residential buildings.

Brisbane City Council has submitted the proposed TLPI to the State and is seeking the Planning Minister’s approval to adopt.

The Planning Minister will take into account feedback received through consultation from community, industry and other stakeholders, particularly on the impacts the changes will have on housing affordability.

Quotes attributable to Deputy Premier and Planning Minister Steven Miles:

“I want to hear feedback from the community, industry and stakeholders on the proposed changes in Kurilpa, particularly their impacts on housing affordability,” Mr Miles said.

“Some of the proposed changes are significant, so It’s important the community has the opportunity to have their say.

“I also want to ensure any approved TLPI aims to increase housing supply, affordability and diversity. 

“There are many state interests in the precinct, including social and affordable housing, cultural heritage, both active transport and public transport connections, and the links to other key precincts.

“The Palaszczuk Government welcomes council's efforts to enhance housing supply and reduce urban sprawl.

“It’s important we work together with council to ensure the future of the precinct meets the needs of Queensland.”

Quotes attributable to Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner

“I welcome the State Government’s decision to progress our Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct plan to the next stage,” Cr Schrinner said.

“The Kurilpa plan will deliver thousands of new homes while protecting the character of Brisbane’s suburbs and the lifestyle our residents love.

“In exchange for CBD-style height limits, residential buildings throughout Kurilpa will need to meet higher sustainability standards and deliver community benefits, such as housing diversity and affordability and public facilities.

“Given the area’s incredible existing connectivity to train, bus and active transport infrastructure, Kurilpa will be Brisbane’s most sustainable community, where owning a car really is optional.”
