Debate continues over whether Woolloongabba’s derelict Broadway Hotel can be restored, and who is responsible for this, at a meeting of state, council and private engineers.
A petition with 400 signatures has requested council compulsorily acquire the Broadway for community use, which has been vacant since 2010, and ravaged several times by fires.
City Planning Chairman Matthew Bourke, said he believes the hotel should be restored and made safe, however does not believe there is legislation that can force the owner to take these steps.
