Port of Brisbane - Here for the future

Land Use Planning

We oversee the development and on-going management of a diverse range of land uses, including: industrial, transport operations, marine infrastructure, retail/commercial, and environmental buffers.

In December 2010, the State planning regulatory framework in relation to development at the Port of Brisbane changed.  A new Land Use Plan was developed (called the "Brisbane Port Land Use Plan") which came into effect on December 1, 2010. 

This new land use plan:

  • has effect over all 'Brisbane Core Port Land' - the majority of these lands were previously known as 'strategic port land';
  • includes a strategic plan - outlining key land uses, trade projections and future infrastructure requirements;
  • divides port land into specific development precincts - including an outline of the key development 'intent' for each;
  • includes a number of 'Codes' - which specify the development requirements for each development;
  • includes a 'Contributions Schedule'  - which specifies infrastructure charges (where relevant); and
  • includes a range of plans/figures/drawings - which help to spatially communicate the development vision for core port lands.
