A new twelve-story residential tower development in West End has been proposed to the Brisbane City Council despite exceeding the current seven-story height restrictions.
On behalf of the developer, consultancy group Urbis said that the development’s proximity to other buildings in the area which also exceed the height limit makes it acceptable.
The documents submitted by Urbis claimed that “the precinct boundaries are not readily distinguishable at the ground level and members of the public would generally experience the building from the pedestrian realm.”
