The restriction of townhouses and apartments in Brisbane’s outer suburbs forms part of major changes to Brisbane’s City Plan proposed at yesterday’s Council Meeting.
According to Lord Mayor Graham Quirk, the plan acts as an attempt to save Brisbane’s suburban backyards from townhouses, as well as accommodate the city’s ageing population.
The plan will implement new multi-storey retirement and aged cares zones in order to cope with an extra 44 000 people over the age of 70 in 8 years.
