Inner-city suburb may rise to 20 storeys

The Brisbane suburb of Kangaroo point, which is predicted to double in population, could allow developments up to 20 storeys high to be built under a new city plan.

The Brisbane city council have discussed the draft of the Kangaroo Point Peninsula Neighbourhood plan at a meeting on Tuesday which was sent to the state government for approval.

Residents had the opportunity to have their say, with the current neighbourhood plan allowing a maximum height of ten storeys potentially being doubled in some areas.
