Plans to replace the derelict Urban Paradise Gallery on Annerley Road, with a private hospital is being contested.

It is estimated to provide care for approximately 100 patients, with full-time staff numbers reaching an estimated 355. 

State Member for South Brisbane Amy McMahon and Councillor for Woolloongabba Jonathan Sri have expressed concern over the potential negative impacts the project would have on the community primarily due to the implications a private hospital would have on already-busy streets.
