Taller apartment towers are again planned for South Brisbane as Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner looks to accommodate another 10,000 residents in the area.
The proposal is contained in a redevelopment plan for Brisbane’s Kurilpa Precinct, bordered by the Brisbane River between Davies Park at West End and the old Pauls Milk Factory at South Brisbane.
Schrinner said the move reflected a desire to build up, not out, where there were services to support such development.“Obviously, the city is growing. We have a housing crisis, and we need to find new homes.Schrinner said the council was running out of land for large greenfield residential estates and wanted to concentrate more on “urban consolidation”.
“It has the train line, it has the Brisbane Metro coming, it has the City Glider, it has great facilities and it is literally within walking distance to the CBD.”
