The Brisbane City Council has proposed a new apartment plan, requiring all new apartment buildings to have two car park spaces for all two-bedroom apartments, instead of one.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner told the council chamber the planned legislative change was designed to improve parking issues in suburbs and resolve frustrations around parking demands.
The proposed amendment to the council’s city plan was voted on at last Tuesday’s council meeting, and will be submitted to the state government for approval to move to community consultation.
