Brisbane will be “going up, rather than going out” to cope with population growth, Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner has declared, with high-rise developments proposed for the suburbs.
“And it is the same principle we will be using in other parts of the city: Carindale, Indooroopilly, Chermside, Garden City , and also Toowong. And we are looking at Toombul as well.”Schrinner said 90 per cent of future growth in Brisbane would be in “brownfield development”, turning underused commercial and industrial land into new residential areas.
Instead, she argued, the council had resorted to a temporary local planning instrument like those used to respond to floods, bushfires and heritage issues.
