Local residents are being invited to help shape a long-term vision for one of the city’s most well-loved natural spaces, with community consultation now open on a major plan to revitalise the Kedron Brook catchment.

Stretching 29 kilometres from Ferny Grove to Nudgee, Kedron Brook winds through 14 suburbs and serves as both a natural waterway and a vital green corridor. Whether it’s a place for morning walks, bike rides, or spotting native wildlife, for many locals the brook is part of daily life—and now, they have a chance to help decide its future.
Kedron Brook Vision
The Kedron Brook Revitalisation Vision and Master Plan is a 20-year, $85 million proposal that aims to protect and improve the catchment while making it more accessible, enjoyable and resilient for generations to come.
Key goals of the project include:
- Developing a long-term vision and master plan for the entire catchment
- Revitalising creekside areas with new planting and improved water flow
- Strengthening the flood resilience of the waterway
- Creating more spaces for recreation and relaxation
Four precincts along the brook will be identified for targeted upgrades, and the plan is being shaped in stages, with multiple opportunities for the community and key stakeholders to provide input.
The current phase—running from April to June 2025—focuses on gathering ideas and feedback from the public. This will inform a draft master plan, to be released for further consultation from mid-2025 to early 2026. The final vision and plan are expected to be completed in the second half of 2026.
While major projects like this often draw attention for their scale, what sets this one apart is the emphasis on everyday voices. Residents, community groups, and local users of the brook are being placed at the heart of the planning process.
