Four Brisbane developments are under the spotlight as City Hall assesses a trade-off: relaxing restrictions â including building heights â in return for developers improving public spaces on the ground.
The first two projects bookend the Merivale Bridge at South Brisbane and North Quay. The other two are a commercial development at 144 Logan Road, Woolloongabba, and the proposed $450 million refurbishment of central Toowong.
The developments are dubbed âthe buildings that breathe,â in the Brisbane City Council planning report.

The councilâs planning committee chair and deputy mayor Krista Adams says these projects will be evaluated closely.
