Brisbane City Council and a not-for-profit charity café have come to a confidential agreement for unpaid rent following The Uniting Hands Foundation’s eviction from a historic council-owned building in Teneriffe.
The Nepalese charity failed to pay more than $17,000 in rent for their space at the Engine Room Café resulting in the council’s swift action in evicting them.
A council spokeswoman says, "Brisbane City Council and the former proprietors of the Engine Room entered into a confidential agreement, which included provisions for outstanding fees.”
