Residents across the city, including those in Banyo and nearby areas, are being asked for ideas on a 20-year plan to improve Kedron Brook by boosting flood protection and enhancing community spaces and lifestyle.
Planning for the Brook’s Future
Council has started early community talks for the Kedron Brook Vision and Master Plan. This long-term project aims to revitalise the well-loved waterway and its surrounding areas over the next two decades.
Key goals include making the area more resilient to floods and improving the liveability and lifestyle of residents using the brook. Council sources are keen to understand what the community wants to see happen over the next 20 years to help create a transformative plan for the Kedron Brook catchment area.
How Residents Can Share Their Views
People can share their thoughts and ideas to help shape the plan. Feedback can be given online through the Council website by completing a survey or by using an interactive map to place pins with comments about specific locations along the brook.
Residents can also speak directly with the project team by attending planned information kiosks in local parks. Feedback is being collected until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, June 29, 2025.
Upcoming Community Session
The first information kiosk is scheduled soon for those wanting to learn more in person. Council staff will be available to chat and answer questions at Dash Street Park in Keperra on Thursday, 1 May, between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. More details about this session and any future events can be found by searching ‘Kedron Brook Vision and Master Plan’ on the Council website or by phoning the Council directly.
Areas Included in the Vision
The plan covers the entire Kedron Brook area, from its beginnings to where it meets Moreton Bay. The upper catchment includes suburbs like Upper Kedron, Keperra, Ferny Grove, Mitchelton, Arana Hills, Ferny Hills, Everton Park, and Everton Hills.
The middle section, which is largely developed with homes, businesses, and industry, includes Alderley, Enoggera, Gordon Park, Grange, Kalinga, Kedron, Lutwyche, Stafford, Wavell Heights, and Wooloowin. This part also features regional parks and popular bikeways between Webster Road and Sandgate Road.
Further downstream, the lower catchment area includes communities such as Banyo, Clayfield, Hendra, Northgate, and Nundah. This section features heritage areas, established industries, the Brisbane Airport, and ends in an engineered channel next to the Boondall Wetlands flowing into Moreton Bay.
Next Steps for the Plan
Council has indicated that all community contributions will be considered alongside technical studies and Council requirements. This combined information will help prepare a draft version of the Kedron Brook Vision and Master Plan for the future.
