Kangaroo Point residents are demanding answers on why Developer Pedro Pikos was allowed on a town planning committee that advised council on the redesign of the Kangaroo Point Peninsula Neighbourhood Plan in 2019.
The Plan allowed a fifty percent increase in building heights and the “Say No to one hundred and eight Lambert Street group claim that Mr Pikos has at least five development sites in Kangaroo Point.
A Brisbane City Council spokesperson has defended the decision stating that all community planning team members have connections to the area and therefore could all be viewed as conflicted, however, Resident group member Lori Sexton is saying it is evident Mr Pikos’s involvement on the planning team is one of commercial interest rather than to protect the integrity and historical value of the suburb.
