Brisbane City Council has proposed changes to low–medium density (LMR) zoning, and these updates could influence how Brisbane grows in the years ahead. In this episode of the Brisbane Property Podcast, Scott and Melinda Jennison explain what these proposed planning changes involve and what they could mean for housing supply, development opportunities, and the future shape of many suburbs across the city.
The discussion explores the concept of the “missing middle” and why council is considering more townhouses, terraces and low-rise apartments in well-located areas near transport and amenities. They also break down the trade-offs between increasing density and protecting the character that makes Brisbane unique.
In this episode you’ll learn:
What LMR (Low–Medium Density Residential) zoning means in Brisbane
Why the “missing middle” has become a key housing discussion
How proposed height increases could allow three to four storey developments
Potential changes to subdivision rules and lot sizes
Why car parking requirements are being reconsidered
How these changes may affect housing supply and affordability
What the consultation timeline looks like and how residents can have their say
Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or planning to buy in Brisbane, understanding these proposed changes could help you see where the city may evolve in the coming years.
