One of the biggest headlines this month is the proposed redevelopment of Narangba, north of Brisbane, where thousands of homes are potentially set to be resumed to make way for a sprawling 3,000+ hectare industrial and logistics zone. This controversial yet transformative plan would create one of the largest employment and warehousing precincts in Queensland, linked to the Bruce Highway and expanding demand for northern freight connectivity.

• Narangba’s redevelopment could replace up to 2,000 residential properties for industrial land

• The site would deliver major logistics, manufacturing, and advanced tech zones

• Government and private sector already in early-stage discussions for acquisition and planning

• Located in Moreton Bay region, adjacent to Caboolture West and Burpengary industrial growth areas

Alongside Narangba, several other industrial locations across Brisbane and SEQ are dominating the market due to infrastructure access, available land, and tenant pre-lease interest. These areas are being favoured by developers seeking large-format opportunities with strong future yield.

• Yatala: Remains a powerhouse precinct with multiple new stages underway

• Rochedale: Increasingly used for last-mile logistics and urban infill builds

• Park Ridge: Emerging zone for design-and-construct offerings with land uptake accelerating

• Redbank: Amazon and DB Schenker expansion driving cold chain and fulfilment activity

• Narangba/Caboolture: Future-facing land play with major government-backed rezonings

Despite strong demand, land supply remains a key issue across Brisbane’s industrial market — especially within the 20km ring. However, new stages are being activated in outer zones with road and rail access.

• Empire Industrial Estate (Yatala) launching final stages of lots from 2,000sqm–1.5ha

• Citiswich Business Park (Ipswich) announcing new pre-lease offerings and large pads

• Swanbank Industrial Precinct approvals fast-tracked under SEQ Infrastructure Plan

• Narangba North expansion now under strategic review for staged rollouts

• Moreton Bay Industrial Corridor flagged as priority for State Development Infrastructure Fund

Brisbane continues to outperform many other capitals in terms of industrial leasing take-up, with low vacancy, strong rent growth, and demand outstripping supply. Developers are also increasingly including ESG components and seeking pre-lease opportunities from national tenants.

• Brisbane expected to lead national logistics growth by 43% over the next decade

• Pre-leases over 10,000sqm being signed faster than at any point since 2022

• Speculative builds from 1,500–4,000sqm highly sought by local distributors

• ESG requirements such as solar, EV charging, and green roofs being integrated into DAs

With the Olympics infrastructure rollout underway and economic figures breaking records, industrial landowners in Brisbane are well placed to extract significant value. But standing out in a fast-moving market requires clear visualisation, confident communication, and polished marketing materials.

• On-site 3D renders help convey scale, access, and industrial potential

• Interactive IMs are proving crucial in leasing and sales of land without buildings

• Those with staged masterplans and visual proof of yield can command higher rates per sqm
