The Mill at Moreton Bay

Key details

The Mill at Moreton Bay Priority Development Area (PDA) will facilitate the development of the University of the Sunshine Coast Moreton Bay campus.

It also aims to fast-track transport related development in the existing Petrie Town Centre and land near the Kallangur and Lawnton train stations.

It includes the existing Petrie Town Centre to the west of Petrie Station and land to the south of the new Kallangur station and covers an area of approximately 460 hectares.

The redevelopment of the former paper mill site will include the construction of the University of the Sunshine Coast Moreton Bay campus, new health, retail, commercial and residential developments and community infrastructure.

Stage one of the University of the Sunshine Coast’s Moreton Bay campus is expected to open and be delivering courses from semester 1 in 2020.

The PDA was declared on 2 September 2016, at the request of Moreton Bay Regional Council.

Note: Amendments to the Economic Development Act 2012 have changed the interpretation of PDA exempt and PDA self-assessable development. More information
