The Brisbane pub’s owners say an 18-storey apartment block being considered for a neighbouring site could put the historic watering hole’s future at risk.
Owners of the Breakfast Creek Hotel and their industry lobby group have come out in opposition to a mixed-use 18-storey apartment tower pitched to neighbour the heritage-listed Brisbane pub.
The Queensland Hotels Association acknowledged “the need for urban renewal due to the housing crisis” but could not support a tower next to the historic pub.In its submission, the group opposed DRJ Investments’ development application because the tower would rise eight storeys above local planning limits and failed to consider noise impacts.
“ the QHA can only support responsible development that recognises the value of landmark hospitality venues such as the Breakfast Creek Hotel,” he wrote. The ALH Group noted the pub, built in 1889, includes a beer garden and outdoor dining spaces open until 2am Monday to Sunday, “which we do not intend to reduce or change in any capacity”.A preliminary heritage assessment by Urbis, commissioned by ALH Group for its submission, said the scale of the proposed development had “potential to dilute the landmark status” of the pub.
