Brisbane City Council will push ahead with its draft Nathan-Salisbury-Moorooka neighbourhood plan despite more than 700 residents petitioning the local government to rethink its vision.
Brisbane City Council will proceed with its draft Nathan-Salisbury-Moorooka neighbourhood planResidents are worried they weren't consulted properly and character homes will be lost
Salisbury resident Jon Marshall said he was not surprised at the decision and that "a lot of the people in the community will be disappointed, not just me". "I'm particularly worried about the environment being harmed. There are also safety concerns for the children of Salisbury State School with areas highlighted for development around there and the focus around the train station."
He also worried about the loss of character housing from encroaching development with the full support of the council.Listen"The plan did not enable comprehensive community consultation. Residents were effectively gagged," he said. Areas around Lillian Avenue, Orange Grove Road and Moorvale shopping centre, with access to high frequency public transport, were also earmarked as part of the suburbs' growth corridors.
