Greater Flagstone

Key details

The Greater Flagstone Priority Development Area (PDA) is located between two future employment precincts at North Maclean and Bromelton.

It is expected to provide approximately 51,500 dwellings to house a population of up to 138,000 people.

The PDA covers 7188ha and is located west of the Jimboomba and Mount Lindsay Highway, along the Brisbane-Sydney rail line.

Full development of the Greater Flagstone PDA is expected to take 30-40 years.

The PDA was declared on 8 October 2010, with the amended Development Scheme taking effect on 7 August 2026.
