MBRC Planning Scheme - Morayfield South emerging community area
Morayfield South and the planning scheme
Morayfield South is included in the ‘Emerging community zone - Transition precinct’ as this area has been identified as suitable for future growth. While identified for urban development in the future, the provision of infrastructure and the resolution of existing site values and constraints need to occur before this area can be fully developed.

Morayfield South is an expansion area that is to be considered in the Regional Growth Management Strategy currently being prepared. The strategy will develop evidence-based options that will ultimately outline the preferred sequencing strategy for the region’s future expansion areas.
Note: it is recognised that during preparation of the strategy landholders still have the right to submit development applications. Such applications will be assessed against the planning scheme in effect at the time.
