A redevelopment plan for cinemas replacing the old Red Hill Skate arena has been re-lodged by two Brisbane brothers following opposition from a global cinema chain.

Despite Brisbane City Council’s approval of the project, the proposal was challenged by Reading Cinemas, who are located just three kilometres away.

Brothers Peter and Stephen Sourris are known for re-purposing and developing cinemas across Brisbane, owning New Farm Cinemas, the Elizabeth Picture Theatre, and the Yatala Drive-In.
