Brisbane, April 14 (Australia India News Newsdesk)
Brisbane residents are being encouraged to have their say on the future of Kedron Brook as the Schrinner Council launches the first phase of community consultation for the Kedron Brook Revitalisation Vision and Master Plan—an ambitious 20-year, $85 million project to transform one of the city’s most iconic natural corridors.
Stretching 29 kilometres across 14 suburbs from Ferny Grove to Nudgee, Kedron Brook is set to undergo a major revitalisation. The plan aims to create a network of vibrant natural spaces, flood-resilient landscapes, and improved pathways for walking and cycling.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner described the initiative as a cornerstone of his council’s vision for enhancing Brisbane’s lifestyle.
“Brisbane is Australia’s lifestyle capital, and our Kedron Brook vision will create more to see and do in the suburbs,” he said.
“Just like Archerfield Wetlands and Hanlon Park, the revitalisation of Kedron Brook will make our lifestyle even better while also boosting flood resilience in this catchment.
“We’re now in the early stages of the design process, and we want everyone to have their say and help shape this incredible opportunity to make our suburbs even better.”
The revitalisation plan will focus on improving water flow, enhancing natural habitats, and identifying four key precincts along the brook for detailed upgrade works. Planting new vegetation along creek banks and increasing accessibility are also central to the project.
Kedron Brook is one of three major lifestyle destinations being revitalised under the Schrinner Council’s vision, alongside similar projects at the Oxley Creek catchment and the Wynnum, Manly, and Lota foreshores. The first round of public consultation is open until Sunday, 29 June 2025. Community feedback will help shape the draft vision and master plan, which will be followed by a second consultation phase once completed.
