A planned development in the south Brisbane suburb of Nathan for 750 units in an industrial estate is expected to be rejected by Brisbane City Council

Applicants had requested a change of use from industrial to residential, replacing a major vehicle distribution centre and warehouses to units, houses and retirement living about 10 kilometers from Brisbane city centre.

City planning chairman Matthew Bourke said “council had several concerns about the applicant’s proposal including it being inconsistent with the character of local area and the site being prone to flooding.”
