Brisbane City Council has approved a residential tower for the site at which its delayed green bridge, between Toowong and West End, was to land on the north bank of the river.
Last month, his council approved Consolidated Properties Group’s three-tower development at the site, which has been in limbo for more than a decade.portal, shows a 15-storey tower where the bridge was to land at Toowong., along with another upstream between the West End peninsula and St Lucia, to prioritise flood recovery.
“The proposal for 600 Coronation Drive, Toowong will have no impact on our plans to deliver a green bridge between West End and Toowong,” he said. “Indeed, funds have been set aside to progress land acquisition at this site in the coming financial year.”Berkman said if the site was lost, any proposed Toowong to West End bridge would have to be built somewhere “more controversial and disruptive” and with less community support.
