Stones Corner Suburban Renewal Precinct

Stones Corner is one of Brisbane’s oldest suburban centres, with a distinct identity derived from its leafy village character, iconic high streets and a mix of retail and dining offerings. Located next to the award-winning Hanlon Park / Bur'uda, Stones Corner has a range of housing types, convenient public transport and well-connected walking and cycling options.

Brisbane City Council is creating a clear direction for the future of Stones Corner that enhances the area’s identity while providing for new homes and a strong local economy for all of us to enjoy.

Council will now review the submissions received during the consultation period and revise the draft precinct plan as required. Following this review, Council will write to all submitters and publish a consultation report online.

Once this review is completed, it is proposed to adopt the precinct plan into Brisbane City Plan 2014 (City Plan) to guide and assess development.

What does a precinct plan do?

Brisbane is growing. More people are looking for places to live that are close to workplaces, shops, transport, services and parks. Businesses are also embracing opportunities for renewal and diversification.

Stones Corner will continue to grow in popularity as a place to live and work as this area is close to major employment, health, education, sporting and public transport facilities.

Council will work with the Queensland Government, local community and businesses and incorporate their feedback into the revised precinct plan that:

• allows more housing to be built, by adjusting building heights and design requirements to ensure homes are available for everyone regardless of age or ability
• provides more employment, education and services near public transport
• creates a vibrant community heart that maintains the unique character of Stones Corner
• improves access to community facilities, including parks, urban spaces, shops and services
• leverages investment in the area (e.g. Hanlon Park / Bur'uda, the busway) and capitalises on local infrastructure
• improves connectivity within and outside the precinct, including connections to Hanlon Park / Bur'uda, Stones Corner and Buranda busway stations and the Buranda train station.

Precinct plan area

The precinct area:

• is located on the fringe of Brisbane’s city centre between Woolloongabba and Greenslopes and next to Hanlon Park / Bur'uda
• consists of retail, residential and commercial buildings serviced by the Eastern Busway and Buranda train station.
