Greenslopes resident Jean Kruck is protesting potential tree clearing on Stephens Mountain behind Greenslopes hospital, in an effort by city planners to increase city views in the area.
On Tuesday night, Brisbane City Council approved the Coorparoo Neighbourhood Plan, which entails protecting five hectares of Stephens Mountain, and it drew 421 submissions.
Greens councillor Jonathan Sri says the plan to preserve only part of the mountain is “environmental vandalism”, as half the site – almost 20,000 square metres – is being rezoned for emerging community.
