A petition to “compulsorily” acquire Woolloongabba’s derelict Broadway Hotel has been discussed at this years first Brisbane city planning committee meeting, causing debate over its future.
Woolloongabba Green’s ward councillor, Jonathan Sri, lodged the petition last year, calling on the council to acquire the heritage listed building and transform the land into a community space.
Since becoming derelict in 2010, the building was burnt out for the third time in September last year, which sparked debate about it’s future and the cost of repairs on the building
