Experts have warned the planned ban on townhouse developments in Brisbane’s low density suburbs, which aim to protect the city’s character, could have unintended repercussions.
The Brisbane City Council has been pushing for permission from the state government, and last month got the go ahead to introduce an amendment to the City Plan to stop new townhouse developments.
However experts caution that a townhouse ban could result in heightened property prices, making it more difficult for people to find affordable housing.
