Pine Mountain Quarry

Brisbane Sustainability Agency has been appointed by Brisbane City Council to lead the long-term vision and transformation of the Pine Mountain Quarry.

This precinct-scale regeneration will revitalise a former industrial site into a thriving hub, restoring native ecosystems, expanding koala habitat and creating new recreational, nature-based and cultural experiences for Brisbane’s growing suburbs.

Situated adjacent to Whites Hill Reserve, Pine Mountain Quarry is evolving from its legacy as a quarrying site and its more recent role in asphalt and concrete recycling.

More than 600 community voices have already been received that will help shape the Vision, expressing strong support for:

• Restoring critical habitat for native species, especially koalas.
• Expanding open green spaces and recreation (off-road cycling, bushwalking, nature trails).
• Introducing unique features like a natural swimming hole, inspired by Enoggera Reserve.
• Educational and interpretive experiences linking community and environment.

This project is another step in our leadership journey, building on the legacy of Oxley Creek Transformation and the citywide Biodiverse Brisbane Initiative, which has set the ambitious goal of planting one million native plants by 2032.

Stay tuned for updates and opportunities to participate as we evolve Pine Mountain Quarry into a nature-positive and based destination in the heart of Brisbane’s suburbs.
