An abandoned heritage pub, on Logan Road in Woolloongabba, was destroyed overnight by a devastating blaze that took crews half an hour to extinguish.
Deputy Premier Jackie Trad is calling on Brisbane City Council to ensure the Broadway Hotel is rebuilt to its original form if a development application on the site is approved.
Speaking about the fire, Ms Trad said Queenslanders were sick of seeing heritage sites falling into disrepair and that decisions about the site should be that the pub be rebuilt to its original form - an act which is reasonable and in the public interest.
