Brisbane City Council will assess a nine-storey hotel on the city’s river bank without seeking public consultation, despite it being five storeys higher than its own planning scheme allowed.
as “code” rather than “impact” assessable removes the requirement for public consultation, meaning the council will be able to expedite the approval process.
A spokeswoman for the LNP administration said the council’s independent planning officers had deemed proposal code assessable because the level of assessment was based on land use, not building height. Planning documents submitted to the council show Artemus was talked down from 12 storeys during pre-lodgement meetings with council planning officers.
“Seeing more investment in this location is a good thing, but it must be done in a way that enhances Brisbane and doesn’t take away from the relaxed riverside experience people enjoy there.” Artemus also plans to expand into the river, with a new pool deck adjacent to the existing Rivershed, which would be raised.
