A new 20-year plan aims to transform Kedron Brook in Brisbane’s north into one of the city’s “premier lifestyle and recreation corridors”.
The Kedron Brook Revitalisation draft vision was released this week.
Residents are now being invited to provide further input for the next stage of the project.
The Brook has 20km of pathways that are used by more than 600,000 cyclists and pedestrians every year.
The new blueprint proposes better walking, running and cycling connections, upgraded parks and recreation spaces and more places to “relax and connect with nature”.
The previous community feedback recommended:
- Widening bikeways for walkers, runners and cyclists
- Relocating flood-prone bikeways
- Safer crossings and more resilient bridges
- Streetscaping to connect shopping precincts to the Brook
- Replacing concrete drains with natural waterway at Grinstead Park
- Widening waterway pinch points
- Flood-resilient lighting along the Brook
There were also calls for strengthened wildlife habitat, improved water quality, restored “natural systems” and increased resilience to flooding.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said Brisbane was Australia’s lifestyle capital, built around great outdoor places like Kedron Brook.
“We’re protecting what makes the brook special while making it even better for the generations to come,” he said in a statement.
“The community has already helped shape this draft and now we’re asking people what they think about our draft vision before it’s finalised.”
The second round of community engagement opened on August 11, 2026 and will close on September 5.
More than 1500 pieces of community feedback were received in the first round of consultation.
Residents can give feedback through an online survey or in person at one of nine community information kiosks along the Brook.
Once finalised, the plan will be delivered in stages over the coming decades in collaboration with the local community and other levels of government.
