A 5.05-hectare residential development site in Morayfield has been sold for $8 million to Trask Land, following a competitive expressions of interest campaign.
The property at 74–80 Nairn Road, Morayfield was marketed by Colliers through an expressions of interest campaign that closed on 27 November 2024. The process attracted over 130 enquiries and 12 formal offers from various developers, reflecting the ongoing demand for development-ready land in South East Queensland.
The land was sold on behalf of a private landholder and purchased by Trask Land, which already owns adjoining parcels. This acquisition consolidates Trask Land’s holdings in a region considered one of the fastest-growing areas north of Brisbane.
Located 38 kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD and 41 kilometres from the Sunshine Coast, the Morayfield site is zoned ‘Emerging Community’ under the Moreton Bay Regional Council Planning Scheme. The site is situated within the Transition Precinct and the Next Generation Neighbourhood Place Type, indicating potential for future residential subdivision or townhouse development, subject to council approvals.
The property is surrounded by completed and ongoing residential developments, placing it within an established and expanding corridor supported by nearby schools, shopping centres, and transport infrastructure.
Limited Infill Land Driving Competition
According to the selling agents, infill parcels of this scale have become increasingly scarce across the region. The supply shortage has pushed developers to compete aggressively for limited land with subdivision potential.
Land values in Moreton Bay have set new benchmarks in recent years, and the Morayfield transaction adds to that trend. With infrastructure investment continuing across South East Queensland, sites positioned within growth corridors remain highly sought after.
Residential Supply Pressures in South East Queensland
The sale occurs against the backdrop of increasing housing demand in South East Queensland. Forecasts suggest that approximately 34,500 new dwellings are needed annually to accommodate population growth across the region. Properties such as the Nairn Road site are seen as crucial in contributing to future residential supply.
With the addition of this site, Trask Land strengthens its long-term position in the Morayfield precinct. Subject to approvals, future development on the site would support ongoing urban expansion and contribute to the broader residential supply pipeline in the northern corridor.
A Caboolture couple has criticised the state’s building regulator after their parents’ $300,000 granny flat project was left with dozens of defects and no regulatory pathway to rectification available through the QBCC.
Major Construction Defects Uncovered in Caboolture
Emily Moore and her husband Ian Moore raised concerns after a granny flat built in their Caboolture backyard for Emily’s parents was found to contain 28 construction defects. The project, contracted to Leverage Projects in February 2021, also included demolition of a shed to create additional space.
By 2023, the work had ceased. A Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) report from April 2024 confirmed the number of defects but stated that no rectification direction could be issued, as the builder’s company had entered voluntary liquidation.
The builder’s personal and company licences were later cancelled and excluded for three years following the liquidator’s appointment.
The granny flat, which cost nearly $300,000, was intended to accommodate Moore’s parents, Tony and Deb Jurott, during retirement. The family now claims the residence is substandard and the stress has negatively affected their health.
The builder, Craig Jack, could not be reached. The family also said they filed a formal complaint with the QBCC over its handling of the case, alleging a lack of understanding and poor communication.
Previous Case in Burpengary East Echoes Similar Concerns
In a separate matter months earlier, a Burpengary East couple reported delays and alleged neglect in their home extension project. Michelle Holmes and David McInnes had paid $97,000 under a fixed-price $164,000 contract with Tilson & Sons Building & Construction for a 6-by-9 metre extension, originally due by Christmas 2023.
Holmes, a veteran, said she used part of her disability payout for the project. She alleged the QBCC was unresponsive and dismissed her concerns, advising her to seek legal assistance after she filed complaints.
The QBCC later confirmed Tilson & Sons still held a low-rise builder licence and had received one direction to rectify work in 2024, which resulted in a fine and demerit points.
Both incidents have reignited discussion around the role and performance of the QBCC in handling building work complaints. The Commission is responsible for overseeing licensing, enforcing standards, and administering the Queensland Home Warranty Scheme.
Disputes involving defective or incomplete work are generally eligible for investigation or referral to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT). However, the regulator has stated it cannot intervene when builders become insolvent, as in the Caboolture case.
The QBCC said it operates under confidentiality obligations and could not provide individual case details but acknowledged the need to improve customer focus. A new CEO and Commissioner are currently overseeing internal reforms aimed at rebuilding trust and reducing regulatory friction.
Both households remain without full resolution. The Moores were told they could pursue the matter through QCAT, while Holmes has engaged a building compliance lawyer. Their experiences underscore growing community frustration with current dispute-handling mechanisms, particularly in cases involving financial loss and physical or mental health strain.

Residents in Caboolture are seeing urgent change after a police raid and swift action addressed a disruptive tenancy, just as Queensland’s crisis housing program comes under threat from costly property damage.
Earlier this month, police raided a property in Caboolture after repeated complaints from neighbours about disruptive behaviour. The search uncovered stolen property and led to several arrests, which triggered an immediate response from the Department of Housing.
The tenants at the address received a final warning, and the department began proceedings to end their tenancy. This case was one of four in Queensland where households received first and final notices for dangerous behaviour in the first two weeks of July, but the Caboolture incident stood out for its impact on the local community.
Officials said their response was focused on protecting families, the elderly, and children who call the neighbourhood home. The crackdown followed a pattern of complaints and police presence, which put pressure on housing authorities to act fast and restore community trust.
Crisis Accommodation at a Crossroads
The events in Caboolture are part of a much broader challenge across Queensland.
New data revealed at the recent budget estimates hearing shows nearly 100 families were evicted from crisis motel accommodation in the past year, mostly for aggressive or abusive behaviour or breaching motel rules. The damage caused by a small minority of tenants has cost almost $600,000, putting the entire emergency housing program at risk, with some hoteliers considering withdrawing their support.
At present, nearly 4,000 people are living in 401 hotels and motels contracted by Queensland to provide temporary shelter as the state faces a cost-of-living crunch and a waitlist of more than 50,000 people for social housing.
Housing Minister Sam O’Connor and department director-general Mark Cridland both emphasised that the vast majority of tenants do the right thing, but a small number jeopardise the system for everyone. The minister said repeated incidents and costly repairs have already seen some hotel operators step away from the program, reducing options for vulnerable families and individuals who need emergency help.
The swift action in Caboolture highlights how Queensland’s new policy on managing antisocial behaviour in housing is playing out on the ground. Under these changes, tenants who breach the rules—especially through violent or illegal acts—can be given immediate warnings and even face eviction if there is a pattern of serious disruption.
In the first month of the new policy, housing authorities issued 545 antisocial behaviour notices statewide, with 42 linked to serious or dangerous conduct.
Officials said these tools are needed to keep neighbourhoods safe and make sure that help remains available for families genuinely in need. They acknowledged the support of local police and the community in raising the alarm and working together for a fair outcome.
Restoring Confidence
While the immediate focus is on restoring safety and confidence in Caboolture, the housing crisis remains a huge challenge for the state.
Queensland has committed $8.1 billion to build one million homes over 20 years, including 53,000 social and community dwellings. More than 6000 new social homes are already under contract, with hundreds confirmed in the week after the most recent state budget.
Officials stressed that selling off social housing remains a last resort for properties beyond repair, and no full-scale sales program has restarted. The department is still reviewing its portfolio to determine which homes may be too costly to maintain, particularly in the aftermath of fires, natural disasters, or severe damage.
Australian Christian College (ACC) Moreton is celebrating its strongest academic results to date, outperforming the Queensland state average in 19 out of 20 NAPLAN domains in 2025.
NAPLAN, the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy, is a nationwide test used to measure student progress in key academic skills across Australia. This achievement marks a remarkable turnaround for the Caboolture-based school, which has experienced consistent growth under the leadership of Principal Darren Lawson.
The results highlight a steady and deliberate shift in academic performance across all year levels tested. Students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 excelled in key areas of reading, writing, spelling, grammar and numeracy—surpassing state averages in nearly every domain.

Just three years ago, in 2022, ACC Moreton recorded above-average performance in as few as zero to three domains. The transformation since then has been significant, with the school’s academic outcomes improving year-on-year to reach this latest milestone.
Principal Darren Lawson’s leadership is credited as a key driver of the improvement. Through a clear vision and a focus on academic excellence, the school has been able to lift its educational outcomes and create a positive learning culture.

The academic success mirrors the school’s wider growth. Over the past five years, enrolments have surged by 94 per cent, reflecting strong community confidence in ACC Moreton’s direction and values. Building on this momentum, the school plans to open a new pre-school in the coming year to support early learning and extend its education offering.
As ACC Moreton marks this milestone, it continues to defy expectations, not just improving results, but building a thriving, future-focused school community.
The first home in the Waraba development in Caboolture has been completed and occupied, marking the beginning of residential settlement in the planned urban expansion area.
Initial Settlement Begins in Caboolture’s Waraba Estate
A newly built house in the Lilywood Landings estate has become the first occupied residence in the Waraba development located in the Caboolture region. The owners, Callum and Nina Richter, who relocated from Chermside West, received their keys on 28 July 2025.

Background: Waraba Development Framework
Waraba, previously referred to as Caboolture West, is a designated long-term growth area identified for urban development in Moreton Bay. The entire development spans approximately 3,480 hectares and is expected to include 30,000 dwellings upon completion. It is forecast to support a population of around 70,000 people over the next four decades.
Lilywood Landings is the initial residential neighbourhood within this broader plan. It is situated near the Caboolture River and has been identified as the entry point for staged housing delivery in the area.

Project Details and Broader Scope
Construction at Lilywood Landings is ongoing, with around 100 homes currently in development. The area is planned to include 70 hectares of public greenspace, 4.5 kilometres of shared paths, sporting fields, local parks, a new state primary school, and a town centre with retail and other amenities.
Future stages of the broader Waraba development will involve the delivery of multiple school sites, public transport links, and additional residential precincts. Regional projections estimate the Moreton Bay area will support a $40 billion economy and 240,000 jobs by 2041.

Construction and Delivery Partners
The first home at Lilywood Landings was delivered by Integrale Homes, with land development managed by Lennium Group. Representatives from both organisations were present during the handover process.
Construction remains active across adjacent lots, with additional families expected to move in over the coming weeks as dwellings reach completion.
Waraba is one of the largest planned residential growth areas in Queensland. Its scale and infrastructure planning are intended to meet increasing demand for housing in the Caboolture and Moreton Bay regions. The occupation of the first completed home signals the commencement of long-term residential settlement in the precinct.
Bribie Island’s Ocean Beach Access Track may soon bear a new name in honour of a young local whose life ended too soon, following a push from the community and Council to rename the track after Harrison Payne.
On 16 July 2025, Moreton Bay Council voted unanimously to begin public consultation on renaming the Ocean Beach Access Track at Woorim Beach to “Harrison Payne Track.” The tribute honours 18-year-old Harry Payne, who tragically died in a four-wheel-drive accident on Bribie Island in 2021.
His passing sparked wider conversations about beach safety and inspired the creation of the Harrison Payne Initiative, which promotes safe driving and supports grieving families. The proposed renaming continues that mission while preserving the memory of a young life gone too soon.
Council And Community Come Together
Mayor Peter Flannery acknowledged Harrison Payne’s impact and said many residents had expressed support for the renaming. Councillor Brooke Savige described it as a heartfelt way to honour Harry’s memory and remind locals of how quickly life can change.
The proposal was brought to Council by State MP Ariana Doolan and Minister Brent Mickelberg earlier this year. Council agreed to proceed with the renaming, pending formal community consultation.
Public Consultation Now Underway
A 28-day public consultation is underway, giving locals a chance to weigh in on renaming the track in honour of Harrison Payne. If support is strong, Council will proceed and install signage sharing Harry’s story.
Groups like Four Wheel Drive Queensland and the Harrison Payne Initiative already support the proposal and are urging others to get involved. But if the community raises strong objections, Council will revisit the matter for further discussion.
A Track With Meaning
The Ocean Beach Access Track has long been popular with locals and off-roaders visiting Woorim Beach, but a proposed renaming would give it deeper meaning. For the Payne family, it’s about turning tragedy into purpose, using Harry’s story to promote safer driving and lasting awareness.
The City of Moreton Bay is now seeking public feedback, with submissions open for 28 days. If strong objections arise, Council will reconsider the proposal. Feedback can be sent to council@moretonbay.qld.gov.au or PO Box 159, Caboolture QLD 4510.

A new childcare centre is being proposed for Robbs Road in Morayfield, right next to land already earmarked for a future state school, signalling more infrastructure on the way for the area’s rapidly growing population.
Plans lodged with Moreton Bay (DA/2025/3100) reveal a single-storey childcare centre at 115–125 Robbs Rd that would cater for up to 124 children and employ 18 staff. The centre would include a 1000-square-metre outdoor play area, 43 on-site parking spaces, and would operate from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays.

The proposals come as Morayfield South continues to expand. Around 10,000 new homes are planned for the area, which is expected to house roughly 26,000 residents in the coming years. To support this growth, three new state primary schools are in the works—one of which is set to be built right next door to the proposed childcare facility.

“Council officers advised that the proposed land use is considered to be an appropriate use for the site given the growing residential catchment and proximity to the future school site subject to detailed development application,” planners stated.
“The proposed Childcare centre is also regarded to be consistent with the Emerging community zone code. The proposal is also considered to provide quality childcare and early learning facilities to cater to the needs of families of the changing Morayfield community.”
With Robbs Rd increasingly seen as a key transport corridor, locals can expect more development and investment to follow as the community evolves to meet future demand.
The tight-knit cycling community on Bribie Island is grappling with the loss of one of their most cherished members, following a fatal accident that has left a husband without his lifelong companion and adventure partner.
Barbra Poen, 79, died on 14 July after being struck by a vehicle while cycling along Goodwin Avenue at Bongaree. The grandmother, known affectionately as “Barbel” to friends and family, was following her usual Monday routine – cycling to meet her husband Cornelis and friends for coffee after her weekly yoga class.
When Barbra failed to arrive at their regular meeting spot at Woorim Beach, her concerned husband went searching for her. Tragically, Cornelis discovered her bicycle on the roadway, marking the end of a love story that began 50 years ago in South Africa.
The couple, originally from Germany and Holland respectively, met in Johannesburg in 1975 before embarking on a life of shared adventures that would eventually bring them to Australia. After marrying in 1979, they moved to Brisbane where Cornelis worked as a newspaper engineer at The Courier-Mail, whilst Barbra found employment with Brisbane City Council, where she remained for 22 years.
Their retirement to Bribie Island allowed them to pursue their passion for outdoor activities together. The pair were known for their kayaking expeditions, often paddling from Bribie to Caloundra for overnight adventures, as well as their regular bush walks and cycling outings.
For the past 15 years, both Barbra and Cornelis had been active members of the Bribie Island Bicycle User Group, commonly known as Bribie BUG. The group, which has approximately 120 members, was formed to provide locals with opportunities to cycle together, promote fitness, and explore Bribie Island and the surrounding areas.
According to police reports, the accident occurred when Barbra, riding her e-bike eastbound, collided with a Ford Falcon towing a yellow boat near the Bribie Island Aquatic Centre. Despite the immediate response of emergency services, she could not be saved. The driver of the vehicle was uninjured.
The cycling community has been deeply affected by the loss. Fellow BUG members have taken to social media to share their grief and pay tribute to Barbra, describing her as a vibrant, intelligent woman who was beloved by all who knew her.
One member, Kerry Anne Drury, expressed the group’s collective heartbreak, whilst another, Judee O’Leary, highlighted Barbra’s integral role within their cycling family. The tragedy has resonated throughout the broader Bribie Island community, where Barbra was well-known and respected.
The accident has also highlighted ongoing safety concerns along Goodwin Avenue, which has been the site of previous serious incidents. In 2022, another tragic event occurred near the Bribie Island shopping centre when a woman, toddler, and baby were struck by a utility vehicle.
Police temporarily closed sections of Goodwin Avenue whilst conducting their investigation, with the road reopening to traffic by midday. Authorities continue to seek witnesses or anyone with information or dashcam footage related to the incident.
For Cornelis, the loss represents not just the end of his marriage, but the departure of his closest friend. The couple had been making plans for Barbra’s 80th birthday celebration in May next year – dreams that will now remain unfulfilled.
The incident serves as a sobering reminder of the vulnerability of cyclists on our roads and the importance of sharing these spaces safely. As the Bribie Island community rallies around those affected, Barbra’s memory lives on through the cycling group she loved and the many lives she touched during her 79 years.
Major infrastructure upgrades are progressing in Caboolture, focusing on the Bruce Highway and Caboolture-Bribie Island Road, with several projects in planning, design, or construction phases.
Infrastructure Expansion Across the Caboolture Region
The Caboolture area is undergoing multiple large-scale transport upgrades, with business cases, design plans, and construction efforts underway across key corridors. These projects aim to address capacity, safety, and network efficiency demands brought by sustained regional growth.

Background on Highway Upgrades
Planning is in progress to upgrade the Bruce Highway between Uhlmann Road, Burpengary and Caboolture-Bribie Island Road. This section forms part of a larger corridor improvement plan stretching from Anzac Avenue to Caboolture-Bribie Island Road. The business cases for the two consecutive sections are being developed under a single planning study to support long-term solutions for traffic congestion and flood resilience.
Collector-Distributor Roads Chosen for Bruce Highway Corridor
Planning assessments found that adding general highway lanes would offer limited benefits due to weaving and merging caused by multiple interchanges and access points. As a result, collector-distributor roads have been proposed as the preferred solution. These roads will run parallel to the highway, diverting short-distance traffic and easing congestion.
Planned features include upgrades to the Caboolture-Bribie Island Road interchange, braided ramps to manage entry-exit weaving, and the construction of three new bridges over the Caboolture River. Lower King Street will also be upgraded, including signalisation at Mewett Street and expansion to four lanes.

These combined projects have received a total of $22 million in planning investment through joint federal and state funding, with construction timelines to be confirmed.
Dual Carriageway Expansions on Caboolture-Bribie Island Road
Design is underway to duplicate the section of Caboolture-Bribie Island Road from Hickey Road to west of King Johns Creek. This includes traffic signals at the Hickey Road intersection, a centre median, a shared path, and cycling infrastructure improvements. The project has a total investment of $59 million.
Separately, construction is ongoing between Old Toorbul Point Road and Saint Road. This stage involves upgrading to a 4-lane carriageway, intersection signalisation at Volz Road/Browns Road, and improvements to bike lanes and shared pathways. This project is funded at $48.23 million and complements a previously completed intersection upgrade in the same corridor.

Bribie Island Bridge Business Case Finalised
A business case has been completed for a new bridge between Sandstone Point and Bribie Island. The concept design outlines a two-lane eastbound structure with an active transport path. The existing 1963 bridge will be retained for westbound traffic. Additional works include road widening between Bestmann Road East and Benabrow Avenue, realignment of the Sylvan Beach Esplanade intersection, and traffic signals near Sandstone Point Hotel.
The $5.2 million planning stage was fully state-funded. Future timelines for design and construction remain under consideration.

Local Station Access and Western Bypass Planning
A transport study is in progress to enhance access to Caboolture, Morayfield, Burpengary, Narangba, and Dakabin train stations. The study aims to support active and multi-modal travel for the region’s growing population.
In addition, planning for Stage 4 of the Bruce Highway Western Alternative continues. The proposed 12.6-kilometre alignment between Moodlu and Beerburrum aims to reduce congestion on existing roads while avoiding rural residential zones. Feedback from public consultation closed in June 2025 and will inform final route protection.
Planning continues across all Caboolture-related infrastructure initiatives. Feedback on preferred options is currently under review, and design outcomes will guide future funding and construction timeframes. These works aim to support long-term growth and improve road and transport resilience across the region.
Caboolture will be a key site in one of the biggest highway upgrade plans in Queensland’s north, with the transport authority announcing a sweeping redevelopment of the Bruce Highway between Anzac Avenue and Caboolture–Bribie Island Road. The proposed upgrade aims to fix chronic traffic congestion and improve safety along a stretch used daily by thousands of commuters, freight vehicles and families.
The project covers 18.8 kilometres of highway and includes plans to widen lanes, redesign interchanges and add infrastructure for walkers and cyclists. The upgrade comes in response to years of traffic bottlenecks and increasing pressure from population growth in and around Caboolture and the Moreton Bay region.
The planned works are designed to support traffic growth well into the future while improving how local and long-distance traffic move through the area.
The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has confirmed that the first section of work will see the highway expanded from six to eight lanes between Anzac Avenue and Uhlmann Road. From Uhlmann Road to Caboolture–Bribie Island Road, instead of more lanes, the project will introduce multi-lane, one-way collector-distributor roads running alongside the highway. These roads are intended to handle local trips and service centre traffic, reducing the need for direct highway access and the dangerous weaving that currently slows traffic flow.
A Long-Term Fix for a Growing Region
The Bruce Highway is Queensland’s key transport corridor from Brisbane to Gympie, and the Caboolture section plays a critical role in the movement of goods and people. With the population of Moreton Bay expected to keep growing, the highway has struggled to cope with demand, particularly during peak hours. The project is expected to deliver not just smoother traffic but safer travel conditions by reducing merging points, limiting stop-start traffic, and building new bridges over Burpengary Creek.
The proposed collector-distributor roads between Uhlmann Road and Caboolture–Bribie Island Road are central to the plan. TMR ruled out simply adding lanes in this stretch, citing the close proximity of three major interchanges and two service centre entries as a key challenge. Instead, the new distributor roads will keep short trips separate from through traffic and connect directly to upgraded interchanges.
The project also includes the reconstruction of key overpasses, such as Frawley Avenue and Arthur Drewett Drive, which will be raised and lengthened to accommodate the expanded highway footprint. These structures are being redesigned to increase safety and flood resilience — a major concern for the region.
Between 5 October and 20 November 2023, TMR invited the public to give feedback on the upgrade proposal. The response came from all corners of the community — homeowners, businesses, local councils and advocacy groups. More than 90 individual comments were collected, and over 95,000 project newsletters were distributed across the region.
Residents backed the idea of extra lanes, although some called for even more, suggesting five lanes each way. There was cautious support for the collector-distributor system, which many believed could take pressure off the main highway. Others raised concerns about the transition from four to three lanes at the Uhlmann Road interchange, fearing it might create a new bottleneck.
Property resumptions were another key issue. Many locals were worried about how the widened highway and new side roads might affect homes, businesses and community facilities. Others asked for more clarity on the construction timeline, detours, and potential delays during the build.
Feedback also highlighted the community’s growing demand for non-car infrastructure. Many called for wider footpaths, safer crossings and bike paths physically separated from traffic. Comments stressed the need for shaded, accessible pedestrian spaces, particularly for children and older residents. Several respondents also urged the government to invest in public transport improvements alongside road upgrades, pushing for a shift away from car-only planning.
Noise and environmental impacts were raised as well, with residents asking for more details about tree clearing, habitat disruption and the locations of proposed noise barriers. Some suggested specific sites where noise-reduction measures were needed, especially near residential zones.
Funding and Next Steps
The upgrade has a $34-million commitment to develop business. An additional $733 million has been allocated specifically to the section from Anzac Avenue to Uhlmann Road, which will fund detailed design and eventual construction.
Planning and business case development are expected to wrap up by early 2026. Once a construction contract is awarded, more detailed project timelines will follow. In the meantime, early works, landowner engagement and detailed design refinement are continuing.
TMR will prioritise conversations with affected landowners where property impacts can’t be avoided. The agency has committed to keeping the community updated through project newsletters, direct letters, the project website and public contact points. Feedback on the current preferred solution will remain open until 14 September 2025.
This upgrade is part of a broader state-wide strategy to strengthen Queensland’s major transport routes, but it also reflects the specific needs of a fast-growing community like Caboolture. Local voices have played an important role in shaping the preferred solution, and the final outcome will aim to balance highway efficiency with neighbourhood accessibility, safety and sustainability.
Residents can continue to have their say through the TMR project page or by contacting the department directly via email, phone or post. The department has encouraged anyone with accessibility requirements or who needs translation services to reach out for assistance in contributing to the planning process.
