The draft Caboolture West Interim Structure Plan covers around half of the total Caboolture West area.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Planning Steven Miles said Caboolture West will develop to be the size of a regional city ultimately accommodating homes for around 70,000 people and access to 17,000 job opportunities.
“There are already 16 major development applications in place, covering nearly half of the entire Caboolture West area,” Mr Miles said.
“With more people moving to Queensland we are prioritising growth areas like Caboolture West to unlock land supply and make more residential lots available quicker.”
It will also be used to guide a range of development applications already being assessed by Moreton Bay Regional Council to help ensure the future community is provided with essential infrastructure and services.
The draft CWISP will be in effect for approximately 18 months, when replaced with a final structure plan for the entire Caboolture West area.
Have Your Say
Member for Morayfield Mark Ryan encourages members of the community to have their say on the draft plan.
“This plan gives the community an idea of how the initial stages of Caboolture West will be shaped into the future, including which areas are set aside for conservation, as infrastructure or for new urban development,” Mr Ryan said.
“Last month the Queensland Government committed $15 million from the new Growth Acceleration Fund to continue to deliver water and sewer infrastructure to support delivery of new homes here in Caboolture West.”
Those who would like to have their say on the interim structure plan may complete an online submission form, take a quick poll through haveyoursay.dsdilgp.qld.gov.a or send an email to CWISP@dsdilgp.qld.gov.au.
The public notification for the draft will be until 26 August 2022.
