PBSA through the Queensland Fire & Emergency Services (QFES), proposed the construction of a new fire and rescue station at Petrie to replace the existing.

The new station was modelled on the amended QFES PS6 standard design which facilitates a station building, storage for three special operations functions and equipment/breathing apparatus rooms and station support functions. Additional design features include carparking for thirteen vehicles, additional two overflow parks and a basic hose drying rack.
