Police have revoked an emergency situation declared earlier this morning at a shopping centre north of Brisbane.

The declaration was made after police spent up to seven hours negotiating with a man at the centre.

It included car parks at the shopping centre, and some surrounding streets.

Police have thanked community members for their co-operation.

The shopping centre remained open, despite closures to the surrounding streets.

A spokesman for the shopping centre this morning confirmed the centre was trading as normal.

In a post to their Facebook page, the shopping complex thanked customers for their patience.

“We are open,” the post said.
