Under the Voluntary Home Buy-Back (VHBB) program over 204 homes have been purchased across 16 suburbs in Ipswich. The total land area is more than 500,000 square meters of land. This land will be re-zoned as non-occupied green space and cannot have any structures or infrastructure placed on it in the future that could affect the flood resilience of the site.

Across the Goodna area, 79 properties have been acquired under the VHBB program to date. While the land must remain as green space, council is currently seeking community feedback to understand possible future use options for the land acquired under the VHBB program that will benefit the community.

Using the survey below, you can provide specific feedback on a property acquired under the VHBB program or more general feedback for the Goodna area.
