Competing cinema groups are fighting over the future of the Red Hill Skate Rink site in inner city Brisbane.

A $10 million dollar redevelopment was proposed by Five Star Cinemas and given the green light last year, but Reading cinemas is seeking to have this approval overturned in the Planning and Environment Court.

The arena was burnt down on Boxing Day in 2002 and was added to the council’s heritage register in 2016.
