Residents in Brisbane’s south-east suburbs are taking a stand against childcare centres being developed in low density areas, protesting the heavy traffic they bring to quiet streets.
Holland Park residents are speaking out against plans to demolish two homes in a character precinct on Abbotsleigh St, to build a two-storey childcare centre on two house blocks zoned for low density housing, opposite the drop-off zone at Holland Park State School.
Additionally, Morningside’s controversial two-storey childcare centre proposal in Asquith Street has been approved. The approval was not supported by Councillor Kara Cook, who says she supports residents who want to see low density land protected, and who have concerns over traffic and safety in surrounding streets.
