greater coordination of car parking (including considering a park ’n’ ride facility) to support greater use of public transport

Thank you for your feedback

Since November last year a Project Reference Group (PRG) has been established and participated in the first two in a series of three Enquiry by Design workshops. At these workshops, the PRG with the project team have produced:

a draft vision for the future of the centre of Capalaba;
a draft set of planning and design principles that support the vision; and
two conceptual options for the centre of Capalaba.

There was a three-week public display period and comments were invited for the draft vision, principles and two concepts. The submission period was from 18 Feb to 11 March 2009. It is now closed.

How will the master plan be prepared?

Master planning process The Capalaba Centre Master Plan will be prepared with on-going community engagement, and comment provided throughout its preparation.

A key component of the master plan preparation process will be a series of Enquiry by Design (EBD) workshops, which will provide all interested parties with the opportunity to contribute and provide feedback. The EBD workshops will bring together people with a wide range of interests in Capalaba to discuss, develop and design possible urban design and planning solutions to make Capalaba a better place to shop, work, live and do business.

Council has engaged independent planning consultants, Urbis, to facilitate the EBD workshops and prepare and test a detailed Capalaba Centre Master Plan. Urbis has extensive experience in master planning and high quality technical skills that will help Council and the community in preparing the master plan.
