The Mount Gravatt police station is set for a $30-million upgrade beginning in 2025–26, designed to improve operational capacity and boost response times across Brisbane’s southside suburbs. Initial funding has been secured to kick-start the planning phase, with the majority of the investment earmarked for construction and modernisation.
Enhancing Facilities & Community Safety
The overhaul focuses on several improvements: expanded workspace for officers, enhanced equipment storage, and upgraded public-access areas. While full plans are still under wraps, similar station upgrades have included new interview rooms and strengthened security measures, making the facility more functional and inviting.
For Mount Gravatt residents, this means quicker call responses, streamlined day-to-day operations, and a more visible policing presence across the local area.
Part of a Broader Infrastructure Push
This station upgrade aligns with a wider investment in police infrastructure across the region, aimed at expanding frontline support and modernising community services. In addition to the station works, the plan includes provisions for new recruits and better frontline tools like tasers and body-worn cameras.
Across Brisbane West, enhancements such as increased air support and youth crime initiatives are also progressing, reinforcing efforts to strengthen public safety and support services in surrounding neighbourhoods.
What Happens Now
Planning and community consultation are due to begin soon, with a detailed timeline and design to follow. Finalising approvals will pave the way for construction to start, ensuring the new station meets both current needs and future growth in Mount Gravatt and surrounding suburbs.
As the project moves forward, locals can expect a modern, better-equipped police station—setting the stage for safer, more responsive service across the community.
