At its general meeting on 21 May 2025, Redland City Council resolved not to proceed with proposed Major Amendment 02/21 for the Southern Thornlands Potential Future Growth Area.
The local amendment had been intended to reflect Council's preferred future land-use outcomes. It became unnecessary as a parallel planning process after the Queensland Government declared Southern Thornlands a PDA on 4 April 2025 and Economic Development Queensland assumed responsibility for preparing the area's planning framework.
The withdrawal did not cancel or delay the PDA. It closed the superseded Council-led amendment pathway, leaving the Interim Land Use Plan and the forthcoming PDA Development Scheme as the relevant State-led planning instruments for new development in the area.
