Development

Cedar Woods lodged a Development Application with Brisbane City Council over the Suburb's remaining undeveloped land within the South East Queensland Urban Footprint, [5] noting the council's zones as being inconsistent with the South East Queensland Regional Plan. The development proposes to use an existing road reserve which runs through the property to connect with Mount Nebo Road, and ultimately Waterworks Road.

The proposed 227 hectare development includes 91 hectares of open space and up to 980 individual lots to be developed over a period of ten years. [5] The works to develop the site are estimated to cost $900 million, and will generate up to 550 direct jobs. [9]

The proposed development responds to the site's topography by offering a range of living options, ranging from bush blocks, to lots designed for terrace-style dwellings. [10]

Education

There are no schools in Upper Kedron. The nearest primary and secondary schools are in neighbouring Ferny Grove. [11]
