26th January, 2016 – WEST VILLAGE PROPOSAL OPEN FOR COMMENT:
1350 APARTMENT & INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR ABSOE SITE ON BOUNDARY AND MOLLISON STREETS.
Submission – West Village proposal by Kurilpa Futures
Kurilpa Futures has been closely involved in assisting community discussion of this proposed development since it was first floated early in 2015. Proposed for a site in the heart of West End, The “village” would occupy 2.6 hectares, stretching back from the corner of Boundary and Mollison Streets as far as Wilson and Little Jane Streets and would be phased for development over a period of ten years of continuous construction. Extra car parking for over 1,200 vehicles is included in Stage One, scheduled for 2016.
Opposition, including community meetings and demonstrations, greeted the original application, proposed to include seven tower blocks ranging from 17 to 25 storeys. Following a march and rally which Kurilpa Futures initiated and helped to organise in August 2015, Council referred the planning application back to the applicants with the guidance that they should resubmit a scheme more in keeping with the 15 storey height limit of the South Brisbane Riverside Neighbourhood Plan (SBRNP), and with community expectations.
The re-submitted scheme now appears to maintain the original very high densities of 519 dwellings to the hectare, by reducing the height but increasing the bulk of the proposed buildings. It thus still conflicts with the “Acceptable Outcomes” of the SBRNP and the density requirements of the Council Priority Infrastructure Plan (PIP).
Kurilpa Futures has therefore lodged this submission to Council objecting to the revised proposal, which we invite members and supporters to read, and make use of, in preparing your own submissions. The Application and all the relevant proposal and supporting plans documents make fascinating reading and can be easily accessed at Brisbane City Council’s “PD Online” site at
