Goodfellows Road Community Housing Proposal Enters Decision Stage

Kallangur housing plans for 144 community housing apartments across two seven-storey buildings are at the decision stage. Development application DA/2026/2546 seeks a Material Change of Use permit for multiple dwellings at 1 and 7 Goodfellows Road. The 3521-square-metre site is on the corner of Goodfellows Road and School Road.



The plans provide for 144 studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, along with 66 parking spaces. The two buildings would each be seven storeys high.

The application was lodged on 21 May 2026 by 1 Goodfellows Road Kallangur Pty Ltd. It was listed as properly made on the same date, with the confirmation stage completed on 22 May.

Kallangur Housing Plans Focus On Long-Term Tenancies

Bric Housing would own the development, manage its tenancies and provide on-site services for residents if the proposal is approved. The organisation is separate from the company listed as the development applicant.

The apartments are intended to provide secure, long-term tenancies for local workers, older women, veterans, single parents, couples and small families who live or work in the area.

Shops, schools, transport and other services are within about 400 metres of the site. The development was designed with the intention of reducing residents’ reliance on private vehicles.

The proposal is intended to provide homes for people unable to secure housing through the wider market while remaining connected to their community.

Moreton Bay has more than 6000 people on the social housing list, while rental supply is 0.7 per cent, below the Queensland average of 0.9 per cent.

Injunction Halts Eviction of Rough Sleepers in Kallangur

Homeless residents camping at Goodfellows Road in Kallangur have been allowed to stay after a legal order prevented City of Moreton Bay from enforcing eviction notices.



Background and Context

On 8 July 2025, Basic Rights Queensland obtained urgent injunctions to stop the City of Moreton Bay from removing rough sleepers at Goodfellows Road, Kallangur. The action followed earlier clearances at Eddie Hyland Park in Lawnton, where belongings were taken using machinery and police escorts.

By 15 August 2025, the court extended protection for 11 applicants, many of whom had already been displaced from other locations. The order prevents the council from enforcing compliance notices until a full hearing in late November.

The Findings

Justice Paul Smith found that removing tents without adequate housing alternatives posed risks to the health and safety of those affected. While acknowledging concerns raised by residents about health and amenity, he said these needed to be weighed against the protections provided by the Human Rights Act.

The court also found that the council had not provided a binding commitment to pause enforcement, leading to concerns that campers could face further removal.

Authorities’ Position

The City of Moreton Bay said the order was limited to compliance notices and did not change the validity of local laws prohibiting camping on council land. It stated that while it would comply with the ruling, it was disappointing that people remained without permanent housing.

Authorities highlighted its efforts to address homelessness, including $3.7 million invested in the Peninsula Support Hub at Redcliffe, support for the Sleep Bus program, and land allocations at Morayfield and Caboolture for future crisis housing.

Legal and Community Response

Basic Rights Queensland and other community groups welcomed the decision, arguing that people experiencing homelessness should not be penalised for lacking housing. Charities also noted that residents at the Kallangur site had few alternatives and needed stability until long-term solutions were available.

Next Steps



The case is scheduled for a full hearing in November 2025. Until then, those staying at the Goodfellows Road site in Kallangur are permitted to remain in place.
